Too bad that isn't closer to me. I'd put some carrera lightweights on it and call it a day.

The 928 is the bomb. And, they make a nice kit to put an LS2 engine in. Imagine 450 HP or so!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I think the 928 is still one of the most beautiful looking Porsches to date.

That's pretty frickin cheap!!!my dad also bought one in 1998,,,,greatest test drive ever....mom talked it out of it and we ended up with a Toyota Celica convertible....awesome car, but no quite the 928

how much could they be to maintain?

Nick,

Cmon dude, it's five grand! At some point you're gonna have to establish the fact you are the man of the house. No time like the present.

The 928 is a great car. I have a good friend who is the original owner of a 1985 928S. Black over tan. Gorgeous. I prefer the 928 S4 update, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a pre '87 car.

Blink is right. Throw a set of Carrera lightweights on there to update the look, dust off the the Wayfarers and cruise. Sometimes you have to say "What the f**k".

I don't like that color. Makes it look dated.

Needs to be Black, Red or Silver...Remember Tony Montana's silver one in Scarface? He jumps into as his get away car after surviving the hit men at the Babylon club. The 928 headlights pop up and speeds away to get the Don's woman and open up a can of payback. Al Pacino's greatest role, yeah I saw Godfather 100X's. Tony is still better than Michael Corleone.

I'm not sure about the 911 wheels on a 928. Looks very cool to the average guy but kind of a Porsche no no.

My mechanic (Hans) said he'd love for me to buy a 928S or better, a 928S4...

Said he could close his business and just work on my car for me and he could retire off the money he'd make. Said the cars are chock-full of maintenance items to be done all the time and are always requiring repairs.

I gotta say though that I loved the interior of that car. The whole instrument cluster rises and falls with the tilt steering wheel.

Amazing.

If I ever get really rich and have room for extra cars, I'll buy one of these "spaceship" Porsches for my collection (that's what I called the car in high school).
