I see alot of Porsche 928's on Craigslist for $5,000-$10,000. Why so cheep ? They are great looking cars and V8 powerd. I have always thought that the 928 was one of the coolest looking Porsches ever made. Is there a reason?
Also, any 914 guys in central Illinois? Thanks Bob |

 This was a customer's 928 single turbo/ water meth injection "Special order" that we built circa 1979. We set the boost to 6 psi, it ran like a raped ape, and shipped the car. The customer was aware that the engine was not built for anything but normal aspiration...but explored the variable boost control and higher boost limits. I figured that by the fully clockwise position of the boost valve, he must have killed the engine at 25 psi of boost. It had 100 % leakage in all 8, and some of the ring shrapnel was buried in the aluminum block. Marty |
