Risque' Business: 1984 Porsche 928S Euro

Back in the 1970's through the early 1990's euro cars from the motherland were often fitted with more powerful engines than their USA exports.  Euro 1982-1984 Porsche 928S's were conservatively rated at 310hp (published reports were more like 330hp) versus 240 hp engine for the USA spec engine.  The most obvious way to spot a euro 928 is to look for the rear mounted fog light to the left of the license plate.  The 928 engine has the distinction of having the longest timing belt fitted on any car production engine.  Find this 1984 Porsche 928S for sale in La Crosse, MN for $10,500 via craigslist.  Tip from MB.

10k: German Camaro: 1986 Porsche 928 S

Introduced to the world in 1978, the Porsche 928 was billed in big lights as the shape of things to come.  The sleek-in-the-front and bulbous-in-the-rear design was penned by Wolfgang Möbius (not of the Möbius strip fame - that would have been much cooler looking car...) and was one of the first cars to offer a polyurethane front bumper to survive the US DOT mandated 5 mph impact requirements.  A V8 up front mated to a transaxle finished the design that was decidedly non-911 and very much a luxury grand tourer.  Find this 1986 Porsche 928S for sale in Staatsburg, NY currently bidding for $7,500 with a few hours to go.
