As the PCA rep for my province I get the occasional phone call from people looking for information. I just had a conversation with a new PCA member who has a 928 and is ready to start restoring it, mostly electrical issues so far, any and all advice appreciated.

I know a Porsche Master Mechanic who said he would say "no thank you" to a free 928.

Put me off buying one.

U might try Pelican Parts. They run a 928 owners thread

928 international has this section of repair tips.

They told be they buy a parts cars for about $ 1000 almost every week.

It's almost always electrical issues. To the point someone ( I don't recall who ) started making a new wiring harness for them that bypassed the alarm system ( damn near everything on car is tied into it ) and some of the fancy doo dad features. 928's can be had all day long around here for under 2000.00.


They're great for LS-1 conversions

The 928 subforum on Rennlist will provide all of the information/assistance anyone could hope for. A well cared-for 928 is a tremendous car. Unfortunately, they are so undervalued that many are purchased because of the buy-in price but not kept up because parts are expensive. The 78/79 are the best IMHO: purest shape (no spoilers, no rub strips), noninterference engine (so no worries about timing belt failure) and they still look and feel modern.

I had one of those once. Need I say more.
