    In 1986, I was visiting the UK with my girlfriend (Claire). We walked by a dealership in Folkestone that had a 928 on display through the glass.
    I went in like a excited little kid (19) and sat in it. I loved that car. I still have a photo of that experience. 🇨🇦

    A 928 !
    My branch manager drove a 928 back in late 80’s when I was a stockbroker in Sacramento
    .
    Back then it was quite the car, front V8 non air cooled Porsche ! Who ever expected that ?
    I knew another guy back then that had a 911 but traded it in for a 928 because he thought he was settled down now & a 911 made the impression with clients that he was too sporty .
    Reminds me of the period in my life Nick when life was carefree and seems like it was just yesterday.
    Thanks for the memories Nick, reminds me of the song “When I Was Young”

    Oh, Nick. You've bought the most beautiful car ever made. That's what I thought back in 1986 and I'm quite possibly still right. I was, and continue to be, obsessed with the 1983-1986 Porsche 928 S. I lusted after that car. I can't believe you found one with a manual transmission-they're so rare. My favorite color interior from that time is the color leather you have (which was a special order-I can't remember the name though I want to say it might be "Champagne") or the light beige along with Prussian Blue paint (which was also a special order). I remember that a local dealer would take the wheels you have, chrome them-yes CHROME them, and paint the crests in the center-WOW! At the time, the car was in high demand here in Silicon Valley, so the dealer slapped on a second sticker in the window that read, "Additional Dealer Markup: $5,000", At the time, the cars were going for around $50,000 before the dealer's price gouging, Thank you for rescuing that pretty lady and getting her dolled up. Please make sure she goes to a good and appreciative home when it comes time to say goodbye. You're living my dream-have lots of fun!

I have been detailing it the last 3 months and just got the a/c charged and now ready for road trips! Always wanted one and pulled the trigger. I walk past my Huracan and Corvette to get to the 928 on Saturday morning Lotto and paper runs! Great buy! See ny UA-cam series restoring mine.

    I had an almost exact sister to that! Amazing! A 1983 one. Just a few differences : yours has the super air conditioning in the back, the nice looking speakers instead of the uglier grille mine had, and your interior is slightly more orangey; also, mine had the 1 inch smaller phone dial rims. Well, obviously the plate carrier bumpers that we didn't have here in Europe. That's one of the best specced cars around! Manual, dark green, open roof. Hold on to it, if you have the chance; you will always be envied. I had to sell mine for various reasons, but I miss it, sometimes.

    I've driven a couple of them and always wanted one too... they're muscle cars that can mostly handle, especially compared to cars of the period. Still love them, would love to have one some day too.

    Didn't see that one coming! Really nice! An early 928 is on my own to do list! Pre facelift rear lights are much nicer. Look forward to seeing this little project develop. Congrats, Cowan

    Nick, I'm in love with the new addition to the garage. Honestly, love the whole 80's or 90's vehicle's as opposed to current generation cars. I feel like they had a lot more character back then lol. Hope you enjoy the new Porsche. Cheers!

    Why does Porsche no longer offer their cars in the dark green colors--they are classic?? Thanks for taking us down memory lane Nick! Cool car and great video. Love your enthusiasm; it is infectious. Excited to see it after detailing.

    Always loved that the clock on my 187,000 mile 1986 worked with perfect accuracy.

    Always trying something new 👍 that’s what is cool about your channel Nick. Oh, and it looks like you bought a good one, great colour combo with the right transmission. Very nice 👏🙌.
