German Camaro: 1983 Porsche 928S

The Porsche 928 was introduced to the world in 1978 as the shape of things to come for Porsche.  The sleek-in-the-front and bulbous-in-the-rear design was penned by Wolfgang Möbius and was one of the first cars to offer a polyurethane front bumper that survived the USA 5 mph impact requirements introduced in the mid 1970s.  A V8 up front mated to a trans-axle finished the design that was decidedly non-911 and very much a luxury grand tourer.  Today the prices for a vintage 911 is through the roof, but a decent running 928 is cheap.  Find this 1983 Porsche 928S offered for $4000 in Alvin, TX via craigslist.

Properly Equipped: 1985 Porsche 928S Euro

The American spec Porsche 928 wasn't a bad piece of metal back in the mid 80s -- trust me, I owned a 1984 edition of the famed V8 Porsche -- but those stingy Germans saved the best version for themselves and shipped a low compression, single cam versions to the USA. However, this next one immigrated as an adult and kept the good engine with over 300 horsepower and a cat-less meaty sound.
