Man is that a nice 928!

I'm really liking that color...I look forward to the day when I have a GTS in de ole garage!!! Good post Chuck TKS!

Don't think I've ever seen Horizon Blue Metallic in person but really like it in the pictures I've seen. If it didn't have an AT or have so many miles on it...........

Nice looking GTS! In fact, I remember seeing pics of that one from early press releases on the GTS around mid-'92. I know it was used in our local newspaper's auto section with an article about the return and upcoming '93 GTS. I'll be in Delmar for this one. Nice find indeed, Chuck!

Hey Chuck…I know we’ve disagreed in the past…but I got to tell you the 928 Registry is looking good these days. A ton of work and dedication I’m sure is involved.

Congrats! A true 928 enthusiast for sure.

Nice car, not my cup of tea, I mean its nice, but many other colors I like better, and no reason not to stick with what you like best.

Any idea if the "first" imported or sold will have any effect on the price? 5061 is the earliest VIN Erkka found in the carfax search, but that still leaves 955 ROW GTS' sold in 92 outside the US.

Also I didn't see the magic words, "no reserve".

Hi Tim, yes you and I have had some lively disagreements in the past but you know what? I respect you for your opinion/conviction and hope you do me for mine. We agree to disagree on that topic. Thanks for the compliment on the site, I am still quite the ametuer webmiester but I try. I do love these cars and think that documenting their history is important to us all.

b/f Errka did his search I also did a search of Carfax albeit with a much more crude process than Errka used and got the same range of VINs. I don't think it will have much effect on the value now because for one thing, the seller doesn't know its the first and second the car has too many miles to be considered a collector. 50 years from now it might be looked at differently?
