Default 928 Wolf?

Your chance to own one of three...

CL Ad:

Porsche 928 "Wolf" , commissioned to be built in the early 90's by my father. Titled as a 1980 with a 1986 32v V8 Euro spec engine. (2) seater with 4 point restraints. The car was re-bodied by WV Classics with a 1" tube steel cage encased in fiberglass. The car weighs roughly 2200lbs and is a terror on the highway. Original paint (some chips and some small repairs needed). The car has less than 23K miles on the chassis and less than 15K miles on the engine and drive train. The underside of the car is perfect (except for some spider webs). It comes with a complete soft top that snaps in with side curtains. There were only 3 cars built and a prototype. The prototype was totaled in the mid 90's and there are only 3 left. They have never changed hands publicly to my knowledge and the other 2 cars are owned by a collector in New York and a retired NASCAR truck series driver. The car was featured in Autoweek in January 1991 and I have the magazine and it shows this car fresh out of paint in the article. I have complete build photo's along with all of the original literature for the car.
Everything works on the car with the exception of the gas indicator which I have a new one yet to be installed. I am open to trades. I like old and new muscle, corvettes etc. I would even entertain a boat if it fits my needs. $22,000 obo

Looks like a big Miata.

Nope.


An orgy of XKE, Miata, E.T. and Pepe Le Pew. Wow.

That doesn't look like an '86 "Euro spec" engine to me.

The chrome bumpers are a bit much.

It could be. There were some 32v motors put in ROW cars in 86. Many (most?) were the 4.7 M28/21 &22 16v motors, but not all.

It also looks like a K&N filter in there.

It wants to be an XKE.

The whole car is a bit much. If it really is down to 2200#, then it would be pretty quick.

But it's not to my taste.

Here's the full link:

I'm saying there is no way the car is 2200 pounds.
I watched Matt go to the extreme on his RS build and I think he got down to 2360ish.

This guy still has heavy items on it like factory seats.

I will take the air tubes though...

I'm skeptical too, but no glass except windshield, assume all sound insulation, HVAC gone (making assumptions here) headlights & motor.... That's a ton of weight removed.

Something doesn't look right about those air tubes...mine have to go pretty small to get around the front of the plenum...this chassis is custom so my bet is that it's wider than stock ...looks like by at least 4 inches or more.

Top radiator hose is a generic unit.

With the side pipes , Targa rollbar , and side curtains.....Viper would be the logical inspiration.
