Maybe there should be a hall of fame for previous owners, and your car's prior owner would be a nominee.

Of course the hall of shame for previous owners would over flow.

I agree with Stan. I've seen cars with far fewer miles that did not appear to be near as pristine. That car didn't spend a lot of time sitting outdoors in the Florida sun or the interior would toasted. Get a complete set of 928 Specialists' sunshades and a cover, should you park it outside at all. Nice!

Neato! It's nice to see an old shark that has been taken care of so well!

Simply GORGEOUS shark George!! Glad you finally wised up & bought that near perfect shark! Especially since that will keep me from continuing to be so tempted to come buy it myself! Its a rare car indeed to find basically a 23 year old, one owner car, with low miles & so well kept......and all at a price that you didnt have to mortgage your house for!! Truly one of those "little old lady's scenarios", but in this case a "little ole man" instead! I can't wait to see it in person next month & drive it too!

Andrew like i said the only thing that that car needs is a tune up ,tires and later on improve the sound system in it.Other wise it drives fantastic feels tight since the PO changed tierods last year and did a tt and wp at the same time plus replaced the camseals on both banks because they were leaking a little bit.The steering rack is good no leaks there the chin spoiler has a tiny cut on the passinger side and overall from 1 to 10 i give that car a 9.5 and that`s because it only has 234hp and the 4.5L engine

Excellent. We picked up a 1984S this summer from a local cheap car lot for a song and a dance! It happens every once in awhile.

Great job.
