"Risky Business" Porsche 928 for Sale

Remember the 1983 movie "Risky Business" with Joel Goodsoon (played by actor Tom Cruise), in which he borrows his dad's 1979 Porsche 928 to go for a joy ride with his buddy while daddy is out of town?

Rumor has it that it is up for sale and will be auctioned off by the company Profiles in History.

Got the money? Might be a good catch to get. Mind you the car already has well over 165,000 km on it. Not too bad for a 1979 vehicle, but a lot for a - what is considered to be - collector Porsche sports car.

My Porsche 928 S4 only had about 96,000 km on it when I bought it, but then again, it was significantly newer.

It's been half a year since I sold (gave away) my 1990 Porsche 928 S4. I absolutely loved the car, but my wife and I were going traveling for a year (touring SE Asia) and just the way things worked out (the uncertainty of the future really) kinda pushed me to have to let go of it.

Here are just a few pictures I still have on my hard drive from the final days that the 928 was in my possession. Enjoy!

Like I have said before, I do not have this beast anymore, but when I get back to Canada, I will be looking at picking up one of the latest 928 models, the Porsche 928 GTS.

These cars are addictive. If you have ever driven one for longer periods of time, you will know what I am taking about.

Rumors have been around for a number of years now saying that Porsche will come out with an updated version of the 928 that will be based on the Panamera chassis but so far, it has been nothing more than a rumor. Should they in fact come out with a new 928, I would probably be the first in line to have a look at it.

Would I get it right-away? Not sure. It would depend on the specs, design, etc.

Porsche 928 S4 - from 0 to 100 km/h

Ever wondered how quick the Porsche 928 moves? Check out my old video where I take my 1990 Porsche 928 S4 on a stretch, all the way from 0 to 100 km/hour.

Not too bad for a 22 year old porsche, eh? It was unmatched in it's day!

Or as someone else put it: "The 928 was a god amongst cars in it's day, but it was very misunderstood and under-appreciated by the majority" ~ unknown

I would love to hear your thoughts: Ever owned a 928? Any personal experiences with one? Ever even seen one?

This is not my own video of my Porsche 928 S4 as I was writing about earlier, but still, I found this to be pretty cool. I think you will agree that the output on this beast is just awesome.

Mind you this beast is fine tuned, but nonetheless, it hauls pretty good. Just hearing the engine revv makes me want to get in go for a round or two. It appears to be holding itself quite nicely next to the MUCH younger Corvette.

Enjoy and hey, why not share your Porsche 928 experiences below? I would love to hear from you!
