New Owner 91 928 GT was created by geojerry
I'm back to owning from decades ago with a 66 912 4 banger.
Today I drove home a 91 928 GT. It's awesome !!!!
The last owner had the following maintenance by a certified Porsche mechanic
last month. Any comments would be appreciated. The car ran great for the 200 miles to my house today.
Thanks, Jerry
The previous owner believes the mileage to be 50,xxx miles. However the gauge cluster displays the mileage of 146K miles (the mileage of the car that the guage cluster came out of. The previous owner stated that it was replaced because the speedometer stopped working) But as you can see from the pictures, this is NOT a 100,000 mile condition car!
The service was done 4/27/2012 and includes:
refurbished gauge cluster from another 928
NEW:
Air filter
spark plugs
fuel filter
injector seals
A/C temp switch
A/C Control head
water pump
cam shaft drive belt
thermostat
serpentine belt
V-belts
hood release handle
new tires TOYO PROXES
fluids
alignment

Looks like a good start!
You should look into replacing the vacuum and especially the fuel lines in the engine compartment. Despite the mileage, the maleable parts don't age all that well over multiple decades, and fuel lines that split on the inside radius of a bend out of view or become perforated have led to some fires.
Low miles over that much time can also mean that some of the electrical switches might not be up to snuff, depends on the degree of your 928OC-D!
Ensuring the vacuum circuit for the intake flapper valve is advisable.

Thanks for the info, so far.
I only received 1 set of keys for the car.
Where can I acquire a Blank stocK ( 1 Black and 1 Red)?
Will my local Porsche dealer parts dept have this and cut a set?
Checked the rear hatch compartment.
New mini spare still there but did not find a jack or handle.
The toolkit not there.
Two of the tire rims are missing the center round Porsche emblems that clip into the two small holes. Also, two of the tires have a round lug net head instead of the Full compliment of Hex lug nut heads. Not sure what this is. Special lock ?
Hope that's it.
