Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Most Expensive Early 928?

[Charles Perry (charles]

I loved the last generation of that car - the 928GTS. That was actually the car I wanted when I went to buy my first exotic. If the local Porsche dealer hadn't been such an ass I wouldn't have moved on to NSXs, which led me to the TR.

 

I'd still love to have a 928GTS sometime but they have become cult cars among the 928-o-philes and have held their value remarkably well, especially compared to all the other 928s. Perfect low-mileage ones sell at or above their original MSRP now. They're also incredibly rare - I believe only 77 of the 928GTS made it to the states - on par with the F512M for rarity.

Surprisingly, the 928 and the 308 share many Bosch K-Jet parts, including the Lambda circuit.  No Boxter ever built could hold a candle to this car's practicality, comfort, and style.  Power in the later cars was pretty good, too.

Great cars, but near impossible to keep on the road these days.

 

Many parts are unique to the 928, are unavailable and are manufactured - in true Ferrari style - out of unobtanium.

You'd never see a 79 928 at this kind of money anywhere else:

Love the Risky Business tie in - amazing that Porsche didn't want the product placement back then.

 

 

I'm pretty sure I read that Magnum PI was supposed to drive a 928 too...and then Ferrari came in and the rest is history.

Maybe Porsche wasn't too happy with the scene at the pier?
