Part 2 -Coming up soon!
@@HernanSpeed looking forward to it!! You deserve more subs man!!
@@Auto_Funk thanks 🙏 little by little
928 is ridiculously underrated car. If you made some modernizations to the front, 928 GTS looks like something that could come out of factory today. The design is so timeless. Buy those S4's now when the prices are still cheap. They won't be for long.
Very true 💯💯 those S4’s are going to skyrocket in price soon!
@@HernanSpeed Good. I just got my dad's S4. But I'm restoring it and not getting rid of it anytime soon! :)
Are you in St. Louis? If so, who does the work on yours? I love my 928 S4 but I am having some electoral problems with it.
I owned a Porsche 928 S4 for 13 years, the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Even with worst case maintenance costs it was an education and a experience like no other. The drive, the power the comfort, the looks, it had everything in my book. Hugely underrated, I was shocked how little ‘enthusiasts’ were prepared to pay for it when I sold mine a few years ago. I’ve never understood why it was looked down upon, and I’m equally a Porsche 911 air cooled fanatic. From the aesthetics perspective the 928 was the most beautiful car Porsche has ever designed IMO.
YEESSSS! THIS ☝️☝️💥💥
Pulsonar thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
A fecha de hoy el 928 ya tiene muchos defensores.
Finally after years of just looking and watching your comments, bought an 1983 928S full history, which has all the usual battle scars but interior intact. After driving it for a few days now have only one regret - not buying it sooner! It's a manual and I love it.
Thanks for the videos ,very informative and honest.
CONGRATULATIONS!! 🚀🚀 BTW -1983 is a great year, easy to maintain! Enjoy!!
Martin Gall thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I own a 1983 manual 928 s . Had it. Stage 1 supercharged with a kit from 928 Motorsport in Wisconsin . Brilliant car and a good investment.
What a great video thanks ! When I was 18 in London in 1987 I got told by someone who just bought a new one that I could never afford one and I would never own one. I now live in New Zealand and by sheer chance managed to get one that had been in dry storage for 16 years !!! It was the same colour inside and out as the guy’s who told me I’d never have one. It’s been a sunny day car for the last 3 years and, once the maintenance was back up to speed it’s been nothing short of epic. It’s a real head turner. The online community for this car is like nothing else and the spares are easy to get. It’s been absolute trouble free motoring for 3 years and I absolutely love it. People who say it’s ‘ not a 911’ always get the same comment back. It’s because Porsche didn’t want to build another 911.... and I didn’t want one either. I love them and I glad I got in whilst they were still at a reasonable price. They are the collectors choice now and prices are going quite quickly. You’re enthusiasm sums them up. Cheers !!
Cheers!
I am sorry to hear that someone told you, "You could never afford one" However, this was your motivation to buy one. I hope you showed him your 928.
(little known fact) Dr. Porsche LOVED the Lambo Mura's styling and it inspired him to design the 928 iconic pop-up headlights in a similar fashion. Truly better in EVERY way than the Mura.
Miles, thanks for watching! 🔥🔥 Yesss, I agreeee!
This is probably one of the best 928 videos out there for person on the prowl for one
After 40 years of wanting one, I need to pull finger and do something about it
Great vid I learned a lot
You know it! Just find a really clean one, and you won’t look back! 💯💯
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
The 928 is the absolute sexiest car on four wheels. It was love at first sight. I've been completely obsessed ever since. I've never seen Risky Business. I wouldn't decide to own a car because of a TV show or movie. I perfer the looks of it to any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, or Bugatti. I want to know as much as I can about the 928. I hope to own one some day. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
EXACTLY-
Thanks for a terrific new Porsche 928 video. I just acquired my first one (a 1980) and everything in this video (and Part2) perfectly captures the essence of this terrific automobile. Over the past few years, it seems that the 928 is coming into its own as a collectible car. Prices have really moved higher.
(Also, my compliments on including the pretty young lady in Part 2!)
Thanks man! Looking forward to doing more! Thanks for watching! 🙏
"An Engineer's Car", I love it!. I miss my 1990 928 GT 5 speed.
Indeed it is! 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for watching!!
I missed that “An Engineers Car” comment, I must’ve slept 😂 I’m an engineer too and dearly miss my 1990 928 S4.
The most comfortable car I ever sat in......bar none!!
Yeap, can easily do 6+ hours of highway cruising!
Thanks for watching Shannon!!
I drove this car over 20 years ago. Few cars I’ve driven since were as technically advanced for their time as the 928. No Corvette, Jaguar XK8 or Trans Am came close for build quality or sheer class.
I’ve owned all of those, including an Jaguar XK8 & XKR. You’re 100% correct on all counts!
Thanks for watching MrReal112! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed 👍🏻
I've had my 84 928s for 3 years now and I still love it...
Thanks for watching!

Great video 👍👍
I've owned my 928 for 11 years now.
Lucky you!
Thanks for watching!
I tried to get help for my addiction too, I failed miserably - Jet black 928S4 owner 2002-2015, and still got severe withdrawal symptoms 😂
They are well very well built cars. After fixing a wrecked 2008 GTI, which was held together by plastic bolted to plastic with partially plastic fasteners, I have a whole new appreciation for the 928.
Indeed, you get it. These cars are totally overbuilt! Thanks for watching!!
I remember a movie in which a lifted pick up truck drove over a 928 intending to crush it. The 928 had to be significantly weakened to allow the truck to crush it for filming.
100% Correct! A black one ☝️. The monster truck couldn’t crush it, so the upper structure was precut in key sections....so it would collapse like any other car.
John, thanks for watching!
Ha- awesome- Let my guess-? ROADHOUSE?! The monster truck scene...
In 1978 the porsche 928 was price tag $ 28,000 and the corvette was $ 11,000 .mi friend bought a house with $ 28,000 .but me myself, i love rhe sound of the 928 engine.spwcially from germany with bigger intake manifold.
Emiliano De La Cruz thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
You nailed it! Thanks for much more information about the absolute super car of the 80‘s and 90‘s. I hope to get mine in about 3-4 weeks. 89 GT, guards red and black interior, Keskin mags! Can’t wait!
Nothing like Guards Red, it really stands out!
Dag-Uwe Maraun thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Great video. One thing though... you actually CAN compare Mercedes R129 to Porsche 928. That is pretty much similar (superb) build quality and extremely overengineered car. SL 600 was actually almost as fast as a GTS (if you removed the limiter).
YESSS! We’ve actually had more than a few people ask us to do this exact comparison! Gotta love the R129, last of the true bank vault Mercedes! Will definitely be doing one with the R129, and another one VS the BMW 850. We start shootings vids again in 30 days!
Detonator2112 thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
After driving, owning and restoring for 20 years, I whole-heartedly agree with everything he says. Well done. @6:45 - I have both the 84 and 85 euro. You can certainly daily drive them in my opinion even with the additional 100 hp. What I like is that if you need the extra HP its there and if not, the car extremely docile.
Thanks for watching!! Hold on for more coming soon!
Hi I got a 1985 euro s mod stick shift, I used to have a 1981 mod Auto shift, I would never go back to auto,
Auto was a lot of fun, still the manual shifter is way more fun🤪
I love my 928S it’s built like a tank, electric systems can be a problem .
That’s a great year, and EUROOOOO! 💣💥💥. The automatic in 1981 was a 3 speed, gears are super long which hurts performance. The later 4-speeds are much faster. Manuals are where the fun is at, great for the weekends!
Hatori Hanso thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I had a 1979 Porsche 928 ! Loved it!!!! It’s amazing at top speeds!!!
Thanks for watching Edgar!
I was nearly knocked down by a beautiful turquoise 1st generation 928 on a sunny cold Sunday morning whilst delivering newspapers as a 14 year old kid in Manchester, England-January 1979. That’s how my lifelong love affair with Porsches ‘space ship’ began - 928S4 owner 2002-2015.
Yup, I drive it, and I know it. Settle in the sport seats and you never want to get out.
Nothing better than Sport Seats, Nothing...🔥🔥 Thanks for watching Dan!
Part 2: ruclips.net/video/-9TWEqyFpZc/видео.html
One of the most enjoyable video's on the 928 that I have watched! You nailed it, great job! I always loved the styling and design, and built like a Panzer Tank! I own 2 1985 models both manual -1 Euro, 1 US version.
Thanks! Sounds like you’ve got some great 928’s, and both MANUAL!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥
I was so nervous to watch this after purchasing my 83 928S earlier this year, but now I just loved it even more! Maybe I’ll get another?!
The 83-84 years are some of the most reliable because they’re so simple! Will post another vid soon on things to look out for, especially with the Pod/instrument clusters.
Thanks for watching Mark Hinchcliff! 🔥🔥
I daily drive, mountain tour, and road trip mine. It's a smooth, sure footed, bullet proof driving experience.
Indeed Cliff! Like only a Porsche 928 can!! 🔥🔥 Thanks for watching!
Lucky you.
i wish there were more video’s on the 928! I have watched every single video available in the last 10 years ( must be obsessed). Just had a 928 euro 1983 completely overhauled with new exhaust system. Dear God what a rocket and sound!! I cannot get my head around why they still are so cheap and offered at auctions as if it is junk. A 912 with roughly 100 bhp goes for 50.000 usd
You ain’t alone, we share the obsession! 👊👊
Had my 86.5 S2 Auto for 3 years now and although I didn't know how important it was at the time, it has a mint interior. (phew!) Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching Samuel!
A 944 if well kept does not feel cheaper; they were assembled by Audi in Neckarsulm in that era and they are built well. The layer 928s leapfrog must cars by 1987 or 1988 with their suspensions and 32 valve engines.
The big difference is the leather clad interiors of 928s, while the 944 still has normal window outlines and rear carpeting. Ironically the 944 interiors other than that rear carpeting hold up pretty well while 928s needed tending and garaging. But a 928 interior specialist can make them look spectacular. The 928 can also drive well with a stick or automatic, and at 3500 pounds a manual version feels a lot like a nineties five series. It’s solid but you can toss it a bit and throttle steer it.
944s you can toss a LOT and throttle steer them always; to me they are a bit more fun to drive in city situations. But a 928 is an event, people point and take pictures.
Thanks for watching Fred!
944 was less than HALF the of a 928 when new, I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant..
@climaX Speed. You’re not wrong about picking a 928 by the interior particularly the seats, if they can be recolored, OEM dye okay, but redone? That’s a real challenge to get right. Getting the fronts and rears to match is also tricky.
I can vouch for the 928 being a brilliant track car with a little weight loss... or perhaps a lot of weight loss ;) My (euro) S weighs about just under 1350kg/3000lbs. With 300 hp it's an absolute blast to drive :)
Sounds like you’ve got the winning combo there! There’s nothing like the Euro S model 🔥🔥
I race an S4 that is basically stock except for some weight reduction and a cat-delete. It's incredible how well I do at track events compared to the rear-engined cars.
Part 2: ruclips.net/video/-9TWEqyFpZc/видео.html
That’s pretty impressive, especially when consider a Honda Civic weighs more than 3000 lbs🤙🏽
just under 3,000lbs is a lightweight in todays world of fat porkers! addto that the 300hp and v8 torque, its bound to be a fun machine
I really do like the 928. I remember when I saw a modified one in the late 80s, it had a testarossa side stakes on it. I drove by it as it was parked up every day. Always liked them🤔
That’s awesome, I bet it was wicked! 🔥🔥That’s for watching!
Hi. Great video, Love the 928. There is one car though that hold the same ”overbuilt” feeling and is overbuilt.
The Mercedes R129 500 SL. 1989-2001. Handbuilt in Bremen. Selected staff built it. A strong V8, simular to 928, and share the same automatic 928 have. With the hardtop on its a GT car, and off a wonderful cab. I know, its not best comparing of model. But bring the same overbuilt feeling and handles great on the road, fast too. Keep posting 👍🏻😃
Love the R129, a bank vault! The R129 is one of the last old school Mercedes Benz’s, built up to a standard….regardless of price! Hopefully Mercedes starts making cars like R129 again someday.
Calle Lindstrom thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Excellent, I enjoy my 91 S4 and agree completely.
1991 is a great year! Thanks for watching!

Magnum PI directors went to Porsche and asked them to make a special 928 with a large modified sunroof for filming. Ferry and the boys in Stuttgart scoffed at that idea and the directors went elsewhere. The Ferrari required no modifications
YESSS!! They should’ve used the Porsche 928! Thanks for watching 🙏 , will post more soon!
Part 2: ruclips.net/video/-9TWEqyFpZc/видео.html
Anatole Lapine, Porsche's Chief Designer for the period was hired away from GM/Opel. Lapine worked extensively on the C2 corvette and several prototype's with front engine/rear transaxle configurations that never made it to production, that is, until the 924/944 & 928. What a rich life he had: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatole_Lapine#Porsche
And now they’re are lots of enthusiast swapping the Corvettes newer 6-Speeds into 928s, even with carbon fiber torque tubes! More and more people are discovering ways to make them even faster!

You speak only facts! 💯💯
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Yow do not start a 928 or any Porsche in second gear that is NOT a good idea and for the 915 in many 911s a real good way to destroy the clutch quickly. That said if it’s rolling try not to shift down all the way into first unless you’re on a hill. Porsches love to pull up when you do that and it’s tough on the throw out bearing. You can quick shift second, but start in first.
Fred, it was Porsche engineers who pointed out that the 928 manuals were meant to start in 2nd once warmed up…
Thanks for watching!
Love to see you compare it to the Mercedes SL R129.
The SL R129 is the last of the bank vault Marcedes! We’ll be definitely doing a VS’s video this year!
James Reckling thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
One of the worlds great cars, but a bit perturbed about its 8 ft timing belt and extreme and complex replacement procedures ?
The length is not a big deal.. There are also countless DIY tutorials on ‘How To’ change a 928’s timing belt. If properly done, it’s a none issue. These are great cars!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid!

Im back, very cool video, your my porsche sales person 🤣
Haha 😆😆 thanks man! 🤟
I love my 1983 928s, I wanted one since I was a kid.
Also I think I read somewhere that Tom Selleck still has a 928.
Yes! Tom Selleck had a black S4, interior was full tan leather....even the dashboard! You can still find it online!
1983 is a great year!! 🔥🔥🔥 My second 928 ever was an 83...great memories!
Thanks 🙏 for watching!
I own a black on black 5 speed 1983 928s which was really a barn find that needed a major cleanup and picked it up for 4000 dollars. It came with BBS wheels, no rust and the interior leather was perfect. It had 155,000 miles and ran well except for a defective alternator which was updated. Gaskets ,hoses and valve springs were replaced . It got a new paint job (black,of course ),silver racing stripes and had it supercharged through 928 Motorsports in Wisconsin by Carl Fausset . It came in 3rd in a major car show for vintage European sports car . The younger generation freak out when they see the headlights popup. The 5 speed with the awkward "dogleg" takes a little used to ...don't rev it up in 1st just glide it into 2nd and then goose it !lol
@@george40nelson4 I really wanted a manual, sadly out of my budget. Maybe I'll do a trans swap one day.
Your car sounds awesome, a great find, any links?
@@StevesMachines There were few made with 5 speed transmissions ..most had 3 speed Borg-Warner automatics. 928 Motorsports can enable you to replace your automatic transmission with a used 6 speed Corvette transmission when I checked . This conversion is not cheap ,however. You should go to their web site. My supercharger is a stage I so i did not need an intercooler but it still is a tight fit. It really performs like it was meant to.. a German muscle car !
@@StevesMachines For the Stage 1 supercharger for the 78 to 86 engine go to 928motorsports.com/parts/stage1.php They should have info on the transmission exchange at that site as well. Good Luck!
can you help with a you tube on how to figure out what a horn problem might be if it is not getting to horn relay fuse panel
Hi! Post your question at: www.Rennlist.com (928 Forums). They have a great community of 928 owners that know everything about these cars, you’ll get your answer FAAAAST 💨 Much faster than watching a video on it, that’s for sure.
Sal Frasca thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Always had a fascination with these! perhaps itsthe torque or the high revving v8 or justthe quality build and unique look that sets it apart from everything else on the road...Unfortunately, some test drives in these, both manuals and some autos were the extent of my limited experience..however I can attest that once yove driven one, it leaves an itch to get one and the impression remains long afterwards... things is , theseare expensive for a decent one and a manual, even more.. sure u can find under 10 grand some examples but these also have a reputation for severe maintainance issues and old abused cheap ones are bound to be full of problems no matter how tempting...
YESS 🙌🙌 The tip is to avoid the cheap ones, they always end up being more expensive.. So that 10k 928 will end up costing more than $35k+ after it’s brought up to date, and it will still need a serious restoration. This is the reason why nice ones sell for over $100k, because these aren’t cheap cars to begin with.

@@HernanSpeed cool!
so 85 is considered an old one right? is the manual on these ones good like u mentioned the difference in other video?Also didnt u say in the other videos the american ones are better engines? i live in poland europe and i think i found my favourite 85 model with mianual with great interior and nice color
The US models are simple to decipher, it’s clear cut on which model is which. In Europe+Poland it’s not as clear, because lots of different models were imported from different countries. But in general; the 1985 either came with the 32V, or 16V Euro engine. Smaller brakes(still excellent), and early suspension geometry. The upgraded Borg Wagner transmission came sometime in 1985-1986, it varied by market.
The most important thing by far is condition.. Take it for a test drive and go through all the gears ⚙️, up-down shifting at different speeds. If no crunching, then it’s a solid sign of a well kept car.
Bougth one today. But its winter in denmark. Cant wait for 1 april
Congratulations Andre! 🍾 👏👏 It will definitely feel like a looong wait from now till April.
Andre Jensen thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Feeling every single irregularity in the road was the only drawback I could find as a passenger. Is there a way to fix this?
Yes... Tire pressure, worn shocks, and worn suspension bushings. It should feel smooth and planted going down the road
That’s 100% correct….these Cars are 40+ years old. If you ride in a rough riding 928 the suspension isn’t right…it’s worn…been lowered…someone has put on junk tires….I’ve restored a couple and these cars when “right” the are mile eaters that are true GT cars. #1 is people change the suspension geometry to get less gap with their wheels. That is the #1 way people ruin the ride.
This ☝🏻!.
Thanks for watching Dan! 🔥🔥
I had a 1987 Porsche 928, in mid 1993 until I lend it one day to my X who had given the vehicle to me as a gift, and he totaled it drunk driving.😡
Noooooo!! 🙈 That’s brutal! Life can have some crazy twist and turns, that’s for sure!☝️
Eva thanks for watching!
ONE big expense spared; using all the same color grey wiring going to and from the fuse / relay panel. Makes taking things apart to clean the connections a nightmare, and is the reason I sold mine.
Sounds like you had issues with your 928.. The back of the board should not be played around with, unless to fix something the previous owner did. It also only gets corrosion when humidity is present, you know where this is going..
This is why it’s important to buy the nicest possible, it will always be cheaper in the long run.
D.E.B.B thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed I was starting to get voltage drops, and the recommendation from the Rennlist crowd was to refresh the fuse/relay panel. It was quite a surprise to find all the wires behind it, all the same color gray, requiring me to label each and every wire. A true nightmare! A few other items, but It seems you found most of them. I still have some specialty parts, in case I win the lottery and can afford to have someone else work on it, as arthritis has destroyed my capacity for kneeling and bending. Good luck with it, it's a wonderful car! Oh, and mine was the same model and color. Those seats are OEM Recaros built to Porsche specs, better than any of their aftermarket ones. I purchased used 928 seats for my current cars.
Bending and kneeling to work on any car is rough, I totally understand! YESS, the seats are made by Racaro! Great seats for long drives! 😎
Ok. You sold me on a 928!!!
Go drive a few, you’ll love it! Finding the perfect one is also part of the fun!
Robert Grey thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
My first car was 928 in 1985. I still have the very same car. 1985 288 horse power.only 72000 miles on it.
Incredible story, that’s a looong time! Sounds like you know the Porsche 928 very well! Thanks for sharing 🙌
Charleslee58 thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Ok. 928 vs. 968 in a track context. Which car do you take?
Ohhh man, that’s a loaded question! If they’re both stock? High speed track: 928! Tighter track: 968! But these cars are rarely raced stock, I’ve seen many 968 turbos ripping it up at the track!💥🚀
Robert Bell thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Q: I live in California. If I buy a 928 from another state, will I have to invest more money in getting the car smog ready ?
Hi! If the 928 is a USA spec, it’s 50 state legal. All 928’s imported by Porsche are okay👌✅ Sooo, you should have no problem passing smog!
Cars to avoid 1) modified cars, especially if the Catalyst has been removed. 2) Grey market cars. These are Euro cars that were imported in by independent dealers, they might not have all the smog equipment fitted. They can be a headache in California.
Is this the trick to getting the automatic S4 to start in 1st gear - have the shifter start on 2 and then upshift gears (>3>D) as RPMs reach redline?
Correct, that’s one of the tricks. But there’s more… Tighten the trans cables at the throttle (most are loose!), add an auxiliary kick down switch at the shifter, and tighten the pressure valve next the the trans for firmer shifts. After the trans is tuned by someone that knows, it’s INCREDIBLE! 🚀🚀 Most 928 autos feel sloppy because of this, a slight tuning transforms the car.

@@HernanSpeed Thanks so much! Your content is awesome! Your method is definitely too scary for me to try myself, but I will look into having a pro so that to mine. Should be picking it up later today. Your method could even have been done to it already. The previous owner was really into making everything better (visually and mechanically).
Thanks! 🙏 These little tricks are usually not done as maintenance, it’s more for enthusiastic driving. You can find tutorials “how to” on Rennlist, it’s a great resource that has very detailed explanations! The 928 transmission is essentially a Mercedes unit, super reliable 🤌🤌
Yes.

Im considering getting one but its very hard to find one here in Thailand. There is one on the market at the moment but the price is very steep......about $50k..USD..and there arent many around either.
Can a normal porsche mechanic fix the 928????
Need more info on this model.before i pull the triger
Hi from Miami! These are incredibly easy to work on for most owners, that’s why so many are still on the road today. If you have reservations about the servicing, I’d find a trusted mechanic in yourarea ‘before’ purchasing.. 928’s are easy to work on, but you don’t want someone ‘learning’ with your car. Best of luck, these are great cars!
And… Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed thanks for the reply and insight.
There are a few well-known porsche service shops but most of them are for 911, hardly seen them doing the front engine at all.
Well, i'll keep looking
Thanks again. Good video, keep them comming
Hi guys, my dream is still to own a 928, but seriously are there major costs that i should be aware of?
It’s not a cheap car to own, no classic Porsche is. Budget anywhere between $2k-$3k for maintenance annually on a car that’s in minty condition, stay away from projects...they’re not deals.
The clutch. Or the transmission in an auto, they are fond of chewing up input shafts. Secondary air pump is a favorite. Power steering rack pump and lines. Rear main.

These cars are over engineered, but they aren’t bulletproof, no car is, they are costly to run, because they are over engineered, parts are expensive when they go wrong. Now they are over 30 years old, you will have added maintenance costs, unless you buy a well sorted restored example. Even a low mileage car will have its problems due to the age. They have a very complex timing belt, very hard to get to as well, will cost a pretty penny to replace. They are great cars, but know what your getting involved with before buying, any older car will have added maintenance costs, these cars were so well built, parts won’t be cheap.
Many great points! You’re correct - I wouldn’t cross-shop a Porsche 928, with a new Toyota….that’s for sure. It’s definitely a car for people that are really ‘into cars’ vs people that just happen to like cars. If you love classic cars, very few can truly compare to a Porsche 928.

I brought up that same point in a comment here.. they arent problem free especially atthe 30 plus yr mark and then if you try to go cheap, ur pretty much gonna have to deal with issues and lots of them...
Don’t skip gears!!
On a 928?? Always, especially in normal traffic. The car was even designed to start in 2nd once warmed up...
just found one abandond.. how much do you think is neccesary to revive it again
Depends on year/condition. If timing belt didn’t go, a few thousand to get it running. To restore into something decent, $25k minimum
Jose thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed thank you! Is a 1980ish 928S. Its been seatin a long time
Those are super simple to work on, lots of support on line for everything. But it sounds like a restoration job, that’s where it gets ultra expensive. So figure $25k minimum on top of the car, I haven’t seen anyone do a decent job for less
This guy spent the first 10 minutes repeating himself and the video is only 8.02 mins. long. "it's over engineered." I get it.
Bo Hanan thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
is it possible to put a 928S4 rear bumper conversion to an early 928s?
Yes, I actually did it on my first 928 when I was 16 years old. The front bumper is easy, just trim the fenders. The back is not so simple, you have to cut into the structure…it wasn’t easy but we did it. I wouldn’t do it again, the older ones are going up in value fast 💨
@@HernanSpeed it just looks so much better the rear 91 bumper
Yes 🙌🏻 those have a beautiful rear! 🥇🚀🚀
@@HernanSpeed My friend, considering getting the car. Where can i get the best prices for parts for the 928s? Any pages you recommend?
For new parts: 928sRUS.com
Used parts: 928International, or Facebook 928 Groups, and FB Marketplace
I own a 1979 manual 928 and a 1999 996 coupe. Love them both but want to sell them and a kidney for a late 70's to early 80's AC 911.
If looking for an older air cooled 911, check out the 87-88 years. Why? The G50 transmission… Totally changes the driving experience, but still keeping the manual steering (awesomeness!). They’re priced a lil bit higher, but you’ll see why after one drive ☝🏻

@@HernanSpeed Do you offer 928 repair work / upgrades for the 928 in Miami ? Can’t find anyone local who’s comfortable and knowledgeable with working on the 928
@@gregorymccallister7739 The only repair shop in Miami that I can really recommend is Vertex Auto in Coral Gables. I’ve known the owners since I took them my 1st 928 in the late 1990’s. They’re fast and reliable, and...they know 928’s.
@@HernanSpeed thanks great great video !!! yeah I’m familiar with Vertex.....this is crazy but I THINK my ex girlfriend and I purchased a fantastic gold 81 or 82 928 with burgundy interior, automatic during 2001 or 2002, ( regret selling it ) from you. You look like the guy I brought it from...who had a brother...if it was you, you also had a 911 at the time as well but you preferred the 928...I have 4 928s now...live in the Redlands close to the track...
@@jagporsche could be! We’ve had countless 928’s, I think you understand...it’s a sickness! 💥💥
I would settle on a Ferrari 308 as well.
Gotta love those old school Ferrari’s!
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Yeah but gas engines are going to be obsolete except for a backup generator.
But it was a well described video of the 928. I would say a Koenig or Gemballa body kit might be good.
These cars are great if.... you never get into a crash or accident, have enough to pay for its insurance, its gas, and maintenance costs.
There’s always the bus, or a bicycle for those that are scared 😎👍🏻
Thanks for watching man!
@@HernanSpeed In my opinion, the Porsche 914 was their best or most economical sports car and just needed a turbo and a body kit to make it right.
I love the 914, I just don’t fit in it! Lol! I agree, it was a great car! But definitely not economical anymore, prices have been going up on them for the past 15 years!
I have been in to the 928 since 1996 when I bought my first S4. I have had 15 since that first one. I still have 5 of them, and had 14 at one time for over 5 years! I owned all the GTS models for 5 years. I totally agree with your perspectives here. Many more 928 videos on my page: ruclips.net/video/QqZZ5N_PvhU/видео.html
You’re a true Porsche 928 fan! Great videos, everyone should check out your page☝🏻😎

@@HernanSpeed VERY kind of you to say! Thanks so much! Clearly you are a big fan of the model as well!!
James Morrison. Can you give me a 1987 manual one? Please.😁
Now, the question, where do I get one and won’t break the bank.
The best deals pop up in the Winter time, when many are in storage. Prices always go higher when the Spring comes around ☀️☀️
Arts Model Station thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed how easy is it to remove the wing from the back ?
The larger rear wing on the S4’s is only 4 bolts. The rear wing on the early cars is more involved, I believe it’s about 10+ smaller bolts. If you want to do a wingless backdate conversion, you’ll also need the rear window/hatch trims from an earlier wingless car….it get involved. It’s very doable, lots of people do it to get that ultra smoooth look 😎
You have to mention the 968 as front engines Porsche to the 928, not the 944. The 968 is a more advanced car and a much better comparison, although not close, to the 928🤨🤷🏾♂️
To me the 968 is like a 944 S3. More advanced for sure, but the driving experience is very close 944 vs 968. I love both if them, and the convertibles are incredible here in Miami. ☀️

If people just maintained the 928 and not leave it neglected for decades, it will serve you well.
My Automatic had an engine fire, I paid 1,200 for it. When I’m finished with it, it will sing 🎶 on the road again. 5-speed is getting new fuel injectors. Both are 1985 S models
@@diegohorton869 1,200 for an 85s? bro, you Know its gonna have issues at that price,its guaranteed LOL but dude, how can you complain? you Stole it at that price! Heck I'd even grab one for that money..I thought 10 grand was the lower end limit for these.. had no idea!

Thick aluminum, steal mechanisms, a bank vault, refreshing ride, a 1000 lbs over weight. That doesn't sound good.
A bank vault with no fat. Early 928’s were in the 3,100’s lbs range, with a V8! Figure….over 1,000 lbs less -compared to today’s muscle cars.

Pretty good info. You don't need to sell me on the 928. Bit of advice on future videos, though. Do away with the splicing effect. Annoying and unnecessary

Very annoying, indeed
Started with part 2 and 3 and now im here and have to say im so happy i found your videos. Amazing knowledge,, super useful. mega nice. Do you have a discord or could you maybe open it up? i want to be in your community of porsche 928 lovers. thank you
