It's an automatic!
You either want a 944 because they have better lines than the 928,
or the rare 968 that is essentially a 944 convertible. It is almost criminal there automatics.
Just my $0.02!

Rick,

I would love a manual 928, but they are pretty hard to find and usually $$$ due to their rarity. Also, I had a 1988 924S before the Boxster. I would just love a V8 Porsche - but I have heard the maintenance on the 928 is a killer

Maybe she wouldn't notice. At one point last year I had 2 boats and fell in love with another I found on ebay. I thought I could sneak it in without her noticing... not so much. She noticed, and I have since sold one of the older ones.

I bet that car would eat your lunch in minor repair costs. It would be a fun one though!

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.
