Weird blog, did have ok picts of a vw fastback, I drove one just before my 914.

They "say" doors closed forever on the crashed 928, but I doubt that from just 70km/h, and bet the dummy forgot to wear a seatbelt too or would be fine.

Nice to know someone is up this late and more bored than I am though.

Doesn't look too bad. Has 8" rears and lots of other usable parts.

Looks like the same color as my '85, Prussian Blue, one of the first chameleon colours used on production cars.

Every time I see some really nice car wrecked in a movie I wonder, "Is there some way they could have done that with 'special effects' or something?". Maybe cut to a far away view and smash a pacer into a wall ? (sort of using a 'stunt' car?).

Maybe not, but if he bought it for the sole purpose of wrecking it, maybe he could have used one that had a bent frame already, or a parts car. Just paint it up so it looks nice for the few frames it will be on screen. Nobody would be the wiser.

They could end with a note that says, 'No Porsches were damaged in the making of this film.'

I'll see yours and raise with two links:

http://www.landsharkoz.com/htm/sc/colourblue.htm
http://www.928.org.uk//content/view/81/119/

Prussian or Sapphire Blue Metallic was available in '85 and '86 MY. It do not have S spoilers, meaning its '78-82 MY.

My personal favorites were the Asian Horneys. Helped let me forget the horror of the 928 crash.

Not necessarily! There is a local 86.5 928 that has the S delete option. I’ve seen it myself and it looks like an OB with manhole rims. You have to look really hard to notice the S4 breaks. Even and expert can easily dismiss it as a pre S 928.

I know how purple/blue my ’85 looks in the sun and the one in the picture is exactly like it.

Also the UK site is inaccurate. Prussian blue WAS available in '85

Long ago, before I had a 928, before I had kids, I owned 2 red '64 MGBs, just like the car he crashes and burns later on down the page. This link is giving me the creeps!
