Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Most Expensive Early 928?

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Yes – starting in 1980 – the Lambda circuit including an O2 sensor and a three way cat.  Got rid of the air pump and EGR.

 

EPA didn’t like it – couldn’t understand how a little lambda sensor, what turns out to be a little galvanic battery device, could dither the fuel mixture and change crappy exhaust into CO2, H20 and N2.  As such they make Porsche nail an OXS light that went off at 30,000 signaling the minute the 02 needed changing.

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?
