Steve,

ZERO chance of that! You still have visitation rights since you took such great care of it!

See you soon!

I'm pretty pleased, AO is bringing it up here on Sunday.

Also received a bunch of photos from mdkelly1 and really appreciate them. What a great community!

Thanks Samuel,

I'm doing my part to support the collectability and visibility of the 928. Plus, I enjoy driving them!

The Coca~Cola car is en route to my garage way up near the tip of southern Michigan. AO is delivering it even though there is some snowfall going on and he has developed a slow leak in one of his tow vehicles tires. He presses on regardless (our kind of guy)! On my end of the journey, it feels strange to have awakened well before sunup excited for the arrival of yet another 928. Anticipation is fun. Pictures to follow!

Thanks go to all that have worked on and improved this 928. I aim to keep it alive and improve it as time, opportunity and parts availability present themselves.

AO made it safe and sound after fixing a sidewall puncture (against all odds) and pushing on through some snow... Fortunately the snow was not sticking to the roads and unloading was a breeze. Transaction smooth and the car exceeds my expectations! Nice bunch of spares and AO agreed to be my driving instructor when I have time to get on the track!

This car just has great presence...







AO has his rig really well set up and it unloads without any drama via a winch...

Another thing to put on the list.




Loueee greets his little brother...







So there it is --- safely transferred to a new owner. Thanks AO!!!

And, Constantine!

What fun this will be...

Great new home for the Coca-Cola 928!

Above is a shot back in the day while it was still an automatic and I was testing my then new products for the 928 drive line during PCA DEs at both Sebring and Moroso. This was before the conversion to a 5-speed and the Coca-Cola livery. Proud I was part of its history.

Please keep us updated on its new life.

Enjoy!

Great Play on words with the history of these cars & some of the famous previous owners of 928s, and the fictitious owners too, ala Scarface!

Loueee had to come out and meet his new stablemate... I could not hear the conversation they had over the earth shaking rumble of their collective lumpy, grumpy, raucous exhausts!
