This Porsche 928 was Stuttgart’s solution to the problem that was the 911. At that point, they had been making the same car for what seemed like forever. They needed to break out of the mold with a front-engined, V8 manual highway cruiser that was every bit top speed missile as it was exotic plaything. The 928 never ousted the 911, but Lordy, was it ever good.

At more $109,000 in today’s money when new, the car can now be had for around ten percent of its original valuation, with prices on the rise. Get one while you can and parts still physically exist. I can imagine that the reserves on mechanical components for a 30 year old niche Porsche wouldn’t exactly be the easiest thing to find, but you didn’t get into this hobby for things to be easy, did you?
