Thanks guys. I'll start a thread on my adventures. Hopefully not as difficult as with The Mistress. Knowing what I learned before should make things a little less difficult, but you never know. That's what makes it fun. Really looking fwd to getting her running and putting on a few miles.

Have been in contact with BAT shipping. They should have more info / details tomorrow on when it will be delivered.

Cool! It's good to see you've found another. Once a 928 gets in a little corner of your brain, it never quite goes away. I saw my first one at Ed Carroll VW-Porsche in Ft Collins in 1978. The attorney neighbor bought one new in the early '80s. Scarface 1983, Risky Business in 1984.

A 928 has always been my ultimate Porsche. I'm still plugging away on my '84 928S in between all my Boxster projects. I'm honestly worried that once it's on the road I'll never drive anything else.

Keep us posted - you're my inspiration!

Finally got a shipper. Worked thru BAT. Not sure yet when she arrives, but she's on the road to OMA. Excited to see if she looks as good in person as from the pics.

Very nice! I hope the fixes are easy and you enjoy it for many miles and years! Looking forward to reading about the journey!

40K mi maint (have $650 order from Pelican arriving Thu)

new tires (arrive Wed from TR, installed on Thu)

PDK flush - will need to schedule with the dealer

a few nicks & knacks on the ext, along with a 4-step polish to remove swirls

repair a few items

Kind of a std Wheeler Dealer car for me. I'm out of town for Christmas, so I have to work around arrival dates when ordering stuff.

She should be mechanically all set and look like new when I'm done.

BruceH · 12-16-2023, 06:29 AM

Thanks for the info, I was just curious, I am sure it will look like new! I hope you have a great Christmas!

A consignment twofer has landed in my lap:

85 911 coupe (no pics until Sat) - manual, 105K mi, blk / gray

70 Chevelle SS - silver / blk, 396 L34, auto, buckets

My question is - besides Hemmings and NOT auction sites, where else should I advertise the SS?

Husker, I believe that these cars are very popular in SoCal, perhaps LA craigslist?

Great idea. I'll incl an ad there.

And I owe you a response on the brake pads. I bought my last 2 sets from F C P and I can get free refills if I get off my butt and send them back. Appreciate the offer.

husker boxster · 03-16-2024, 09:10 AM

Here are some pics of the 85 911.

It's black with a gray / green int and sport seats. Sweet!

New fuchs, new tires.

Husker, these cars are very popular everywhere! I wouldn't fool around with anyone but a forum that is dedicated to the auto that you are trying to sell. Here is a forum that specializes in Chevelles and no other cars,

I put a CL ad in LA, Denver, and KC. A guy in Orlando saw the LA ad and we worked out a deal! Thanks for the idea, Gilles.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a thread in ChevyTalk about the SS and someone there suggested the same website as you.

Been fun learning about 70 SS's. I was 11 yrs old when they were new, so I knew a little bit about them (although I grew up in a Ford family). Know a whole lot more today.

Now on to selling the 911 and Spyder.

husker boxster · 04-14-2024, 01:46 PM

Been polishing, cleaning, and detailing the 911. She turned out spectacular.

BruceH · 03-16-2024, 09:22 AM

Very nice! What part is green on the interior?

All of it - seats, doors, dash, even the leather on the momo wheel. The green washes out in the sunlight but it looks more green than gray in the shade. Cool color because it looks different in different light. My 87 shark had gray / green int with linen seats. Here's a pic of the driver's seat and doorcard, which highlight the green a bit more. Hard color to get true in a pic.
