1980 Porsche 928 Euro S

Pick this one up yesterday. Exterior looks decent, engine runs good. Interior is shot. Need seats, dash, door panels, etc. Very fun car to drive, very unique looking car. I will get the interior work done, then I will bring it out more. I am not sure if it is available in MY, I saw a few long time ago. Here are some pics.

When I was a kid, saw the car from the rear and that image is imprint in my mind. I wish I can find it and get it in-expensive in MY. Very nice combo of handling, appearance, and performance. The sound of the exhaust from V8 is amazing, wish mine is 5 speed. Maybe I will do the conversion later on. I am enjoying the car very much.

hi they have here price range between 60k to 1**k over and if its an original GTS nearly 200k.last time saw one guy trying to sell it for 280k but i think the dude was a bit high ahaha.anyway bring this baby to her original condition and have fun.used to be one of my "must have car"list too now i am driving a TVR chimaera wich is also a V8 so like u i do know how it feels to drive a big cc V8.keep up the good work and show more pics take care

Thank you. At least now I know what to expect when I am in MY. Seriously, US is still one of the place for car guys like me. I get to drive car that I would never think of or never have a chance to do so. You can get a show room condition and low miles 1995 GTS for like 34K USD. That is a little over 110K MY. I an starting to re-upholster the interior first and replacing the worn out seats, then just keep driving it. There are choices of the 4.7L (300hp) or the 5.0L (330hp), then the 5 speed swap. I always wanted a V8, but don't really like the style of US V8 car like mustang and camaro. Corvette will be nice, but still expensive.

You own a TVR chimaera in MY?? That must be very expensive to own one and maintain it. I do my own mechanic work, so I can keep the cost down. The low rumble of V8 and the screaming of high rpm really nice to listen to. I think I will put a muffler to soften it a little. Good luck in your V8 and maybe you can give me a ride when I am back home :)

Thanks.
