pretty proud of this 30 year old engine compartment- amazing German craftsmanship! ( of course my friend kept it immaculate!)

Owning a 928 is risky business - but sometimes you just gotta say "what the fudge".

That is the German word for Ruby. Odd the site says 84 model year only. Whats the VIN? You may want to verify yaer. Would not be the first time the DMV got the model year wrong on the title.

Cool...you should contact the hoster of the paint site and let them know you have a 83 with that color.

Ruby Red was the color for '83-'84- changed to Garnet for '85 & '86- before that it was Wine Red which was several shades lighter.
