With regards to sticker shock I priced a radiator from Porsche at $2800 bucks.

Better to get a aftermarket all metal one.

Rennlist has a great 928 board, very nice folks over there who are very helpful.

There's a few low buck aftermarket that will work with minimal amount of fab "extend a top mount 1.5 inch".

Looks like a sweet 928! Nice work and looks like it would be a blast to drive!

928 Motorsports do a fantastic radiator for about $950.00 or so.

[QUOTE=crustychief;9037476]I have a 9 page invoice from Dec 2014 totaling 8900 dollars because he had the car gone through and re-sealed and new gaskets from head to tail so it wouldn't leak onto his C4S. ( he has a neat lift in one of his garages). in July of 2015 he had the timing belts replaced, all associated stuff with that including all new cooling system ( except radiator) and new drive belts. I am convinced the maintenance has never been deferred.
Shaun, I did pay enough. but i reviewed the receipts from the last three years and paid him less than that total. I am pretty happy.

That is quite the car. All this sticker shock bs is just that, bs. No more expensive than a 996.

You should be very happy, it looks like you got a great car for relatively short money. Cars like this are few and far between. Enjoy it!

Why couldn't Porsche just make a nice air-cooled 928?...

Well the value of Porches are on the way up. Why not?:)

I have always liked the 928 but I have been watching your thread and started looking for one. Not as a cure for happiness but to have just a little slice of Porsche supercar history.

Shaun @ Tru6 03-15-2016 04:50 PM

You will be enjoying your car for months before mine is on the road. Heads are still in NJ and block/pistons/rods are in NH at machine shops. Looking forward to your impressions on how it drives!

Brando 03-16-2016 06:15 AM

So... where's the supercharger going?

eastbay 03-16-2016 04:59 PM

Nice car. Another thing going for the 928 is that Pick'N'Pull usually has them in stock
