Jerry Sloniger's book says 10 were made in total as Volkswagen wouldn't allow more to be made. First car had 240 hp and manual gearbox, eight out of 10 had automatic gearbox, some were based on 300 hp ROW S. Six were sold to Germany, two to Austria and one each to France and Switzerland.

BB brochure shows side picture of silver/possibly burgundy US model convertible with non standard seats. It has sidemarkers and black rear bumpers. Also has metallic radio antenna mounted on top of windshield frame. I think side profile is best looking of all 928 convertibles around. If this car is in USA someone should did it up.

Your list is very good. Its just missing Sbarro Golf(s) and maybe some of the wildest Strosek's like gullwing(s) and supercharged car(s).

That's the castle website, but there is a separate website for the museum here:

Thanks, must go in that museum on my nesxt trip to Germany:-)
Here is some pictures of my car now, some detalils who needs attention but i am getting there.
The car is in very good condition and has only covered 82000km.

Nicole

Very nice! I wonder, if the clear turn signal and side flasher lenses are from my store. I do remember selling some to Norway...

Just FYI: The seats shown are from a later model, though - this style wasn't available until the 85 model year.

thomas skogli

Ok:-)
Some things are not original yet...as you said the seats are from a newer car.
But they suit me very well and i like them.
And the clear lences and the cup mirrors are not correct.
But i rather like the style, not sure if i will change that details.

There is nothing wrong with having them. They are nice and good seats - I just wasn't sure you knew that they were from a different time...


I'm not sure I would, either...

thomas skogli

Thanks so much for the good coments:-)
Not only good things that have been said about this car on the web :-)
Anybody have a clue where the other Artz is?
It was sold to Sweden when it was new.

I don't think we've ever heard of the other one here. At least not that I can recall. Have you done a search for "928 Wagon", or "Artz" here?

Also you may consider asking "sweanders" or one of the other Swedes here - maybe they know anything.

thomas skogli

Hey Ketil.

Thanks alot, and thanks for bringing the wheels all the way up to "trivelige trøndelag"

I wonder if they will display the 4 seater 942 in the new Porsche museum.....i hope so

Me, too!

In the last picture above, check out the Audi that's parked next to the 928-4. That's how other cars looked at the time... a great illustration of how far ahead Porsche was in vehicle design.

There is one mystery about the headlights of the 928-4. The images below show a different set-up that - in my humble little opinion - does not look as good as the original.

Yup... We were just in the planning stages on the new house so I knew I was not going to have money, so I passed, but I could have had it for $25k...

thomas skogli

Awesome pictures guys...keep'em coming:-)
I have now the Artz kombi original and it is in very good condition...only 82000km.

And i am putting it out for sale now, so if anybody wants a special and a really nice collectible 928 please contact me for more info.

What about the AMC Pacer ?

(Ooops, did I just swear in the church ?)

Forgive me, but I can not help the Pacer jumping to my mind when I see this rear angle shot of the 942.
