FWIW, the Weissach Edition #206 - #215 928's and 911's
(and #406 - #415 911's) were Porsche-family owned
vehicles.  Along with the Special Green Extended 928,
the special Porsche Prototype coupe with the PORSCHE
emblazoned tread, and the the various other
prototypes.  None of these vehicles has ever been
available to the general public. 

It is surprising that someone outside the Porsche
family has been able to acquire one.  If it is indeed
one, it will be a Euro, and the color was up to the
discretion of the family member which was to be the
owner.

Al, you may want to find out about the PO, and how the
car got into the public. This will give it more value.
 What color is it?

Off to Greece and authentic Gyros!

~ Merry motoring ~

Congratulations. It sounds like a great price. I'm envious, though I love my
81 Competition Package.  You can get more info (build date, engine number,
equipment, warranty info) I'm sure you already know from Carletta Cannon at
PCNA by getting your own COA and making inquiries as to standard and
optional equipment. Did you get the luggage? The wheels should have a
bronzish golden hue to them. Here is an excerpt from Susann Miller's
compilation, Porsche: Power, Performance, and Perfection:

"The special model 928 followed in the tradition of other Weissach specials,
with a limited production of only 205 cars. Mechanically, everything was the
same. The difference was in the champagne gold metallic scheme with matching
brushed gold-colored alloy wheels-- a beautiful combination. A spoiler was
added to the rear hatchback window and another to the lower front of the
nose. The interior included an electric sunroof, a digital radio, and
special two-toned leather throughout. The best addition was the three-piece
Porsche luggage set that was made from the same leather as the interior. If
you happen to get the chance to buy one of these special edition 928s, I
wonder if the luggage will still be part of the deal!" Miller, p. 85.
