Ferry Porsche's custom, one-off, 942 stretch 928.

I thought the 928 group might want to see a few pictures we took of Ferry Porsche's 942,--that's the slightly stretchen 928 in his custom dark green color, with oversized doors. The body is also longer than a usual 928 so that the back seats are actually comfortable.

Note the unusual, fixed projector headlights.

For the real Zuffenhausen experts, you'll notice that this was shot before the massive body shop was built. It now stands in the background of the first few pictures.

(Sorry about the quality. I scanned these from small prints until I can put my hands on my negatives.)(Date: December 1985). Me, with an Army buddy.

Thanks again.

incredible! I love seeing vintage shots of these amazing cars; especially specialty models such as this! Beautiful! I wish to own projectors like that in my 928...

Thanks! I've never seen a good pic of the lights themselves.

Here are the last of Ferry's Porsche 942. Better closeups of the rear and projector lenses.

Now that really looks like a stretched out AMC Pacer

Wow, great shots, it's amazing how much a little extra length changes the car. I wonder what else was custom on the car? It's like a pre-pre-Cayenne.

They moved them 2-3 inches up the fender. It makes the front of the car look way too long. As it was, with the rear seats and the front over hang, at least a foot could have been removed from the total car.

You know, I didn't want to be the guy who wrote that, but you do remember that Tony Lapine was at AMC before he came to Porsche...

BMW had them on the 7-series in '86.

Was this car the debut of the S4 style front and rear bumper covers?

PorKen

S4 8" rims, too, in the Ferry pic.

But in last pic of Dan's, there's 7-inchers on the back...

What ever happened to that car?
