You suck!

congrats....

Now THAT is funny.

When I read the title, my VERY FIRST THOUGHT was - "928"

What do I win?

Nice - some people hate the 928, but I have always loved them.
Another "Porsche outcast" maybe that's why.

We don't usually work on them but we are building a stripped out track car with an LS3 for a customer. Ever bit of oem wire has been stripped from the car.

Hopefully the side isn't damaged too much from bringing it home sideways.

Can you sell it and install some proper wheel flares that don't look like something from a 4x4 offroad supplier?

I sure hope so. That's the only part of the car that gave us a wtf moment.

Very nice find! Are you going to part it out or fix it up?

No title.

But the boys just got the engine started.

Bruce Jennings raced a 928 ?

A few of us have 928s here. Different experience than the 914, that's all. Mine is BROWN but I bought it for the condition, not the color.

Personally, I've always loved 928 Porsches.

I'd love one.

Fantastic touring car. Till you get some stray electrons hiding somewhere.

I want to test drive one sometime. No one ever brought one out to AX back in the day....

One can only imagine how difficult it was to load.

914s are relatively similar, not so with the 928s. Built over about a 17 year run, engines run from ~200-350HP so there is wide variety in the driving experience, and the cars are heavy. Power:weight is about like the 914 at least in the early cars, gets better with the newer model years. Best thought of as an old mans highway cruiser because that is what it was designed for. Auto and manual trans available but manuals are rare, most are autos. Not so sure they would make respectable AX cars.

So the track car customer wants working headlights in his car. His car has fiberglass fenders and no headlights - they are just stickers. So we will pull the needed parts from the risky business car.

Anybody want a 928 engine for an alien build? 130K miles

Yes....a GT meant for cruising the autobahn at 120mph all day long with confidence. The faster you go the more planted the car feels; excellent aerodynamics.

Not looking for an engine, but if it's a 78 or 79 I'm looking for a pristine, uncut center console trim bezel.

If it's too risky I'm will to take it off your hands for free.

Yes, no, maybe

Nothing wrong with A 928, nice score. I like that race car, any pics of it at race stance? I'm assuming it's on jacks?

Flares remind me of a Daytona...

It's not on jacks but it's off road stance is due to too long rear shocks and no engine in the car. All we've done so far is bring it inside and order up an ls3 crate engine.

I stop-light drag raced a 928 once way back in 2002 when I had a base Boxster. They ere pretty even (I ended up almost 1 car length ahead). A way cool car the 928 is.

Seen this one a few weeks ago.when the guy took off he did a burnout all the way down the road.super loud Click to view attachment

You need an eye examination

The race car 928 flares are almost perfectly horizontal from where they meet the fender and come out.

_| does not equal /

Cut it out Mark
I went by this 928 last week and it's still there in Manistee, MI.(8th street I think off US-31??)

Apparently the trick is to service all of the ground points. I'm refreshing the entire interior and restoring the cluster... Will attack the ground points and see if the gremlins go away

I hate to admit it, but I have 3 914's and 3 928's. 914's have much better parts support and a much better user group.
My rule of thumb is 928 for a drive, 914 for a driving experience.

Here is my latest 928, $3250 delivered, $165 to get it running.

The engine is for sale in the classifieds

I had three 928s, all of them S4s. My dad also had three at one point, two S4s and one S. I still have a real soft spot for that car. Really love 928s!!!!

Last one was in '04 and had an eaton supercharger on it. Fun times.

550hp. Ready to be delivered.

Had a 928 15 years ago, drove it for about a year then sold it at the Pomona swap meet for $ 4,500. Always amazed me how this Porsche flagship car value tanked so bad.
Car was way fast but when the trans started to go I knew it was time to dump it.

Nice job. Inquiring minds want to know how you acheived 550. Mind if I cross post to 918 forum on rennlist?

No such thing as a free 928. It means you just got a big, deep hole in your bank account!

Built LS3

that took a while, not quite two years.

The free car was just for parts. The red car that was painted black is a customers car. We made money on that one.

1 1/2 years. We did 2 911's for that customer as well. The 928 wasn't a priority.

My 83.....one awesome and very dependable car!

They have that new 360 degree revolving trailer. You load a vehicle, rotate it 90 degrees, load another - etc - so you get 4 vehicles into a 1 car trailer - its genius engineering I tell ya! genius!

Good thing I asked. Recipe for getting scorched on the 928 list.

I love this one! Very , very nice!

I've always thought the Sharks are pretty cool. Never drove one though.

Mark - Got an engine pic?
