Newbie from the frozen north checking in and saying hey.

Hello from Alaska,
Just traveled over 1000 miles, thru 3 mountain ranges to pick up my first 928. It's an early 5-speed 928 manufactured in Dec, 1977, #143. Took 3 days of traveling over some sketchy icy, snowy roads to get this beautiful early shark home. I've had a chance to drive it a little, but it's winter here and one has to be careful on the road, so it's easy does it. Looking forward to preserving this car and painting it back to it's original black. I'm sure I'll be on here with tons of questions. Cheers and take care,

A few pics of the trip and #143

Amazing adventure, wow nice pics planning fishing trip for Halibut next year, to Alaska, did some cold weather training there in the Marines amazingly beautiful. I'm new to this forum also just purchased my second 928 this one is a 85s manual. My other is a 82 928 5spd.

You own a beautiful example of a rare and early 928, congratulations.

You are lucky that 928s have excellent heaters ... I live in Arizona and our problem is heat and sadly the early 928s have trouble keeping up with our summertime temperatures.

My new favorite episode of Ice Road Truckers! Good to see that the trip was completed safely.

Looks like a nice example you've acquired. Congrats!

Nice to see I'm not the only new blood to the Shark club. Be sure to steer clear of the frenzies. ; )

That looks like it is in really nice shape for that year,,, at least you have nice platform to work with and you can have a great time with it right off the bat.
