Holy sh**...there's so much win in this build it's amazing. I absolutely love how the 928 looks with a flat paint job....hadn't seen it before.

 

It's builds like this - that add amazing new life to tired old cars in a truly unique way - that really speak to me as a wanna-be hot-rodder living in 2016. :thumbup:

I can't believe the dichotomy: later-model 928S or 928 GTS approaches $75k....pretty much the SAME body/chassis in a 10-year-older configuration (with understandably more wear)can be had for less than 1/10th of that price.

Not with the cost of 928's in the 4-figure range. THIS WOULD'VE BEEN CHEAPER BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!1!!11

I'd totally have blown the engine in my 4 cylinder 318 instead. :fa:

Just like the 996, or many other german cars. You can buy for nothing because the possibility of an expensive problem drops the values into used corolla territory.

well to be fair....it isn't like the FR layout 1980's Porsches were paragons of reliability. 1989-1991 944s sell for 5 times what 1982-1988 944s sell for (considering you can get a 944 for $1500 that still isn't much) and 968s are still touching $20K. nothing about a Porsche is cheap to maintain which dictates the price - the older more problem prone cars are cheap, the newer and more advanced cars are not. Plus as much as my nostalgic ass loves a Porsche styled in the 80's they do look dated comparatively speaking.

 

 

I like this home built p-car hot rod. I hate the article in that it manages to almost provide no real technical details. this is the problem with modern internet journalism, anybody thinks they can do it.

Shit, this is me too. I don't spend shit on cars anymore, meanwhile I'm buying up as much as I can in the stock market while everyone's freaking out and selling... :cool:
