I had never even heard of this model...... Looks like it would be quite a bit of fun.....

this belongs with your once upon a time 7-series Luke. Same ethos. Great big GT. very close to supercar though, but not supercart.

Cool car, but you'd really have to be in love to pay anything near that price. There's a reason these cars are underappreciated.

I had a mint '78 that I just couldn't resist when I saw it for sale. I like so much about the design. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the car except about five hundred pounds and a seating position that resembled a '70s Corvette. I could easily live with the engineering idiosyncrasies, of which there were many. What I couldn't live with was the feeling that I needed to grow a mustache, open up my shirt a few buttons and throw on some gold chains. Very much a product of the '70s--and that's not a compliment.

A 78 had to very cool. Can you say pasha interior?

A friend just sold his 2nd owner mint 29,000 mile 85 928S Euro, full documentation, custom ordered paint, etc.... $12k.

It's hard to imagine the subject car being worth the suggested amount, but stranger things have happened

Reed I would love a 78 w/ Pasha interior..... I could borrow one of my wife's gold chains......

The GTS is a very different car from other 928s.

More powerful. V8 was up to 5.4 liters --- ~350hp/~375 lbft --- and, like the car it was built for, a bruiser, launching the not-svelte GTS to 60 in about 5-and-a-half sec, topping out around 170. Alu doors, hood, and hatch. Widened/flaired rear quarters. Big Reds, special suspension, LSD (electronic + variable), etc. Inside, top-shelf stereo, climate control, lux carpeting, leather everything.

These were the model run-out cars and almost all were ‘special orders’ --- didn’t Brumos have the very last one? --- in bright metallic Kermit green. Most listed ~$100k new, making these Porsche’s most expensive cars. Less than a hundred US units made that last year.

Never Porsche’s top-dog power-wise, the 928 wasn’t even much of a sports car, really . . . but a heck of a Big Fast GT. Braking, cornering, accelerating? Sure --- it’ll do that. But the thing weighs, like 4000 lbs, so . . . .

. . . Why would you want to?

Instead? How ‘bout . . . race you cross-country --- loser buys dinner. Oh yeah --- one thing. Ya gotta take your Ole Lady.

Big as a house? Sure. It’s supposed to be.

Seller’s smoking a Fat One for that kinda Asking, but still . . . . a very special car.

(. . . even with those hideous wheels.)

Shagadelic. And I mean shag literally. That carpet pile was at least one inch long.
