I would prefer the 928GTS in Wimbledon Green Metallic (231/B5) with matching leather interior. Why? It's the only one that exists and was ordered using Porsches Paint To Sample program. It's also one of Porsches rarest colors.

Just want to point out that the up/down votes are currently “9 11.” Seems appropriate for this thread.

Isn't that the model they used on Risky Business?


Technically the Risky Business car was an early pre-S, pre-S4 928. There were a few used in the movie. It was a 1979 or 1980 I believe. One of which was also "found" a few years ago with an interesting story behind it. I think it hammered at $2 million the last time I heard it was sold.


I always thought the 83 S was the best looking. I've driven several and they have a unique way of feeling solid, heavy (which it really isn't), nimble and fast at the same time.

The actual car that went into the lake was found not too long ago as well. Last I heard it was never restored and was in bad shape. The google says it sold for $50k in 2021.

No.

Where would I put a deer, or a cooler of fish?

100% worthless in my opinion.

What does this even mean? If someone I knew had one and asked if I wanted to drive it then the answer is yes.

Would you daily driver it and be seen it? Do you like style enough to rock that car? Seems to have a polarizing appearance.

A friend’s dad had one when we were kids. I never rode in it. He was a Dr and we were all envious of it. These photos are the best angles.

A contractor showed up to our construction site in the mid 80s in a champagne 928 and I knew what I wanted to drive one day. I'm still waiting for that day to come.

You still have a Porsche? Seems I remember you as a fellow 944 owner from my Rennlist days.

If it’s good enough for Tony Montana it’s good enough for me. If you don’t like it you can say hello to my little friend

Definitely in the 80s/90s or whatever model years they were made.

Now, maybe, but not as likely. In this order.

The black one looks the best IMO. Might have to change the wheels though.

Ugh, all look like shite:












lol, stock is best. Maybe powder coat them or something.

One of my favorite Porsches. They are actually pretty reliable. I’d take any color.

My parents gave me and my brother toy Porsches one Christmas. He got a 911 and I got a 928.

And that’s when I knew they loved him more than me.
