What more can I add? Except that we have two splendid 928 CCs in the archives, so indulge yourself in some big butt love:

Seems reasonable to me. If you can own a 928, who cares what you’re living quarters look like?
LOL, that timing belt service really is a killer! Great shot!
This 928 owner doesn’t have a house at all.
Makes great use of all that V8 torque!
The white 928 appears to have a hitch, could be the same story here. Looks like he’s parked next to his ‘shop’.
What a coincidence, I saw a 928 just this morning. That one was a metallic brown, and I was surprised to hear an exhaust that sounded a lot like a SBC.
For some reason there seems to be an inordinate number of 928s in Florida.
It’s worth it.
I love 928s, always have, always will. They were new when I was tiny and in the context of 1970s cars, looked like a prophecy of the future. The interior is just as cool, especially the op-art version.
Theres gotta be a tradeoff somewhere I guess.
I like the 928, and I cannot lie.
Very nice, Sir Imperial-A-Lot…
This is what happened in the up coming film “Middle Aged Crazy 2”.
LS1 swap to the rescue!
Tony Montana Witness Relocation Program?
So this is what happened to Joel Goodsen after Lana divorced him…
“Who’s the U-Boat commander?”
Cannot lie. Have seen the same thing except the 928 is normally a $50k pickup and the shack is a run down trailer.
Living quarters are the least of your problems. Sanity, pride and order are the first victims.
One did recently get Jeremy Clarkson kicked out of Argentina.
The right front fender seems to be black. What would you paint first, fender or shack?
….because you know…priorities and stuff! I once saw a brand new Z28 parked next to a shack not much bigger or nicer. The car was on blocks, because all 4 tires were up on the (tin) roof holding it down in high winds!
I first saw the 928 in the flesh at the 1978 New York Auto Show. Around that same time, Road & Track had just obtained a test car to put thru its paces. Because the 928 was such a departure from the established Porsche platform (air cooled/rear engine v. water cooled/front engine), R & T had invited an unidentified Porsche enthusiast to try the new car. When the 928 was first cranked up in the Porschephile’s presence, his only comment was, “It sounds just like a Pontiac!”
I’ve also had a thing for these since I was a child–one of my favorite Porsches. Helped in part by the Matchbox model, one of the late “Made in England” Lesney Superfast 1-75 series. A brilliant metallic turquoise and an unusually high level of detail for a matchbox, right down to the “PORSCHE” lettering engraved across the rear panel.
Still have that one in well-loved condition, missing most of its paint, along with a much mintier example purchased on eBay to keep it company. Just another example of our playthings influencing our real-world desires…
