In case you didn't recognize it, the 928 GT belongs to David C, a frequent poster on this Rennlist Forum. I've forgotten his exact moniker, but Worf is in it. Does a lot of maintenance work on 928's in the New England area.

I was researching 308 GTS values in Hemming's and noticed the article.
I recall hearing about it but never read it.
I was buying fuel yesterday and there was a woman driving a light blue metallic 308 beside me, it had some door dings and a clipped re paint. I could tell it was rough cosmetically and asked if she wanted to sell it, she said yes.
I was thinking if i got it at the right price i could paint it and sell it. Has 25k miles and motor sounded very good.
No desire to keep it, at one time I wanted one but not any more. Not very impressive when compared to a 28.
Waiting to hear from her Husband.

I've been browsing the F boards for a bit and seems the 308's and 328's have started an upward trend in pricing, but like our 928's, it's hard to find a good example. Also, like most supercars from the late 70's/early 80's, they get out accelerated by todays minivans.

That's a stretch, but our glorious leaders in Washington DC did force Porsche and other manufacturers to de-tune as they did my US spec '83.
I still think i can take a Honda Odyssey.
Even Super Cars from the '50s could take today'd Mini Vans.

Deloreans were considered slow when new.
308 was built to take on 911, not a Super Ferrari.
But i see your point.;
