We don’t deserve Wes. We are distracted by stupidity to truly appreciate the genius that has been presented before our human eye balls. Continue to be the hero Automotive TRvid needs Wes. The knuckle draggers will eventually catch up.

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

These are very kind words, I appreciate it. I'm upset that it takes me so long between videos.

Robert R Yıl önce

@Wesley Kagan dont. At least not for your subs. (but if you want more money its understandable) you deliver quality content and that's why we love your channel. I personally prefer fewer quality videos over more but lower quality videos and im sure many more are with me. I love your videos so obviously I would like more but i understand that it takes a lot of time and work to produce a quality video and i don't want you to overwork yourself. So just keep posting quality content and don't worry about it

The 928 is a beauty , my father owned a 928S in "grandfather spec". brown exterior paint and brown pattern seat interior. I absolutely adored it as a kid. Such a unique car with it's round pop up headlights.

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

This one is White on Red, and I feel most came in "grandfather spec" Honestly. This is a Euro S, so It was imported.

WatchTool Yıl önce

Loved this review. Perfect for me. Not as absurdly high energy and overly hyped as most car reviews and not as much over reaching satire as regular car reviews. Still passionate, but realistic. Loved the history review and comparison to the 911 as well. Cheers

Thank you! I was going for something right along those lines.

Took a 928GTS to Denver from New Orleans with my Brother, we drove the car an extended period leaving DFW towards New Mexico in excess of 140mph, the car was quiet, stable, exceptionally comfortable, we stopped for fuel made the trip in a tad over 14 hours. We picked up an M6 to bring back to New Orleans we were stopped 1 time in New Mexico near Raton Pass and told to slow down, traffic was non existent at that hour & the State Trooper was genuinely a decent guy. The M6, as nice as it was, was not nearly as comfortable or quiet but likely as fast or nearly as the 928. My Brother passed last year but we talked about that run many times, while we did plenty of these type runs, the best was that one from New Orleans to Denver in the 928. Wonderful machine.

I've always loved the 928, it's the only Porsche I've ever really coveted. One rather suspects that the exhaust on your example is not as the factory originally specified it ;-)

A most excellent review, Wes. You’re a masterful storyteller. I used to repair these under-appreciated machines, as such I developed an admiration for the engineering that went into them. Quite a difference to their air cooled stablemates of the era.

Welcome to the 928 club. Wait until you decide it needs 500whp! I've had several 928s over the years. Current has a 2.1l twinscrew. It's nice. Great, albeit impractical, platform for hot-rodding. Enjoy the journey!

It sure is a great car. I pulled one out of storage a few years ago, coolant had gone bad and taken the radiator and engine block with it. It's in working order now though, might keep it forever :) Also a manual 928S.

Just drove one of these yesterday. V8, RWD, manual European GT car? That is... very much my thing.

It's honestly an amazing car and is diverse in that you can strip it down and make a track car, or in stock form is very comfortable and "GT". I too have a thing for big GT cars. Did you drive Hoovie's?

You are absolutely correct. I almost ended up owning a 928S4, and I regret not being able to own one. My consolation prize was an F355 though.

Been in a pair of 928s, both in Phx and one was at PIR.. The one at PIR was owned by the owner of I think it was "Phx fire equipment" (supplied race car fire systems) and that was one of the most fun rides I have ever had.. that 928 hustled around the PIR road coarse with some pretty nice sounds (custom fuel system done by a local machine shop.. I think Jerry Rhoads? dunno too long ago).. You are in a great area for your skill sets.. Surprising number of great race innovators out of the phx area...

Nice video. Back in the ‘80s I bought a four year old pristine ‘83 black on black stick. Best driving car I’ve ever owned. Drove it year round in New England (surprisingly good on snowy roads with studded winters) 130,000 miles with virtually no issues. Second kid forced a change in daily transport 😢 fun while it lasted 🏎

K Bar Yıl önce

85 928 owner here since 2007 and 56k miles, currently at 148k. Just a wonderful car to drive and even to work on though we have had a few parts go NLA recently which can make relatively common jobs a bit more challenging. My car is now work 3x or so what I paid for it 15 years ago but I can't think of anything I could buy for the same amount of money that would give me as much satisfaction as an owner.

Welcome back! The rear trailing arm bushing and how it's made to flex to induce tow in when cornering and braking is nothing short of brilliant! As a curiosity the engine has the same bore spacing as a Chrysler 440 or 426 Hemi

I always found the Wissach axle very cool!

Maximus Lockhart Yıl önce

It's funny how good it still looks, before really knowing anything about this car I'd seen a few out there and immediately been drawn to them, I now definitely would like one as a project car, they seem like a lot of fun.

peter schmidt Yıl önce

I hope you give it a go, here's some tips. I've been doing restoration on a Hong Kong 87 auto for the last 3 years. Mechanically very solid cars, at this age the electrics and the awful vacuum system. The vacuum is a single system, one break effects so much. The car will run without vacuum, but the auto gear change is harsh, no cruise control, a valve in the intake manifold wont work, no climate control with permanent heater on in the cabin. Then there's the engine and cabin air vacuum actuators, the diaphragms will be shot. And definitely check if the timing belt is good, change if unsure. DEFINITELY change the radiator, there is either 1 or 2 oil heat exchangers built into the side tanks - one to heat / cool the transmission oil and one to cool the engine oil - The transmission heat exchanger in mine ruptured, filling the transmission with radiator water and the engine cooling system with trans oil - even though the auto gear box was not broken, it needed to be disassembled and rebuilt, VERY expensive - Just put a new radiator in if its still original. There is heaps of information online, pretty much any information I have needed I have found instructions, manuals, videos to show me how.

trwsandford Yıl önce

Yes! the 928 is glorious machine. I'm loving your quote "The 928 is the Porsche for people that don't care that it has a Porsche emblem" It still looks current, and will always be relevant. This is my 3rd favorite Porsche. 914/6, 944 turbo.. then the 928. Yes, I'm a fan of the obscure. I used to crave a mid 80's 911 with the iconic whale tail (because I was an impressionable kid in the mid 1980's... and bought car magazines. Ruff twin turbo anyone?), but when the prices started going up silly fast I decided I liked my cash more.

Kirt Fitzpatrick Yıl önce

Great video Wes. I little different from your norm. I'm into it. Love all the nostalgia in this video. I've always been a little partial to the 928 body style myself too. Not sure why.

Jettemotor Yıl önce

My -81 euro S told me to thank you for this beautiful homage. Sure mine's a stripped out and a LOT lighter track tool (and honestly not very good at being neither a GT or a sports car), but siblings look out for each other and it has so much "soul".

mbclk65amg Yıl önce

I wanted one of these for the longest time. When I could finally afford one, I bought an E39 M5 instead because I couldn't afford what the prices are these days. Oops forgot to add, this is a damn fine video. Thank you

Oh, that sound.... beautiful. Jeremy Clarkson has a touching story about why he likes the 928.

Bill Klement Yıl önce

Wesley, great video! In the 80s, a friend was working for a company that imported grey market cars. He had the opportunity to drive a 928 out on I95 between cities ant got it up to 150 for an extended time! He said it was awesome! It had been through a German performance shop before it was imported. Not uncommon for their customers. I didn't get to drive that one, but I did get to drive a 911. It was stupid fast! They also got Mercedes that went through the AMG custom shop. And BMWs that were just ridicules! And models you couldn't get here. Cool times! Thanks again for the video!

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

Might of been this one, it was a grey market imported in '85. Thanks!

test 5 aylar önce

love these cars. my favorites are the 90s gts ones where they successfully stretched the 1978 design to look just as, if not even more modern than its competition with a couple facelifts. can you imagine a 1978 bmw or a mercedes being still sold in 1995? well maybe you could, but theyd look clunky and odd and obviously dated like a late model XJS jag. a 928 GTS you could park next to an R129 SL (1989), 300ZX Z32 (1989) or a E31 BMW(1990) and it would not look particularly older. (much love to all the cars i mentioned. all among my favorites)

As a 1/2 of a 928 engine owner ( a 944 ) -great video. Love to see more on this car, and what is the exhaust system?

Biggus Dingus 10 aylar önce

An 84 928s was my first car. I got it in fairly rough condition because that was what I could afford at 16. I learnt; how to fix things with it, how to keep things running, electricity, how to drift, and how to drive on the edge. I got my racing license with it, and I've driven it every day for 4 years and it's never left me stranded(knock on wood). It's 38 years old but nothing squeaks or rattles, it's fun to say I drive a Porsche but that doesn't really matter to me. It just a beautifully engineered car, and a car which should be the standard for all.

Liten Fara Yıl önce

You did something to the air intake and the exhaust headers of Your 928. And You did it very well.

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

It has mufflers, and that Euro cam is something else for sure.

My wife bought me a 928 for my birthday in 1989 and I loved the car- never got so much as a door ding until 2002 when a woman rear ended me at a stop light, I took the insurance money and kept the car. We needed a shop truck, and I thought- a truck is just a car with a box on the back- I have a car and I can build a box. 3 months later the 928 was a 6 wheel pickup truck. Drove it for another 3 years until a guy from Germany heard about it and made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

This platform (including older supras, older Rx7, some of the S and most Z chassis Nissan’s etc) are the best start for a race car project. So aerodynamic.

Yeah the Porsche *edit* 944 and RX-7 FC offer amazing beginner platforms for track racing. Super cheap good handeling cars.

They really are, although depending on the track a 944 is a bit lighter to start. The V8 is easier to make power with though.

Vic Loma 11 aylar önce

Back when I was a kid I would see these on the road from time to time. But not very many and I lived in Palm Beach. Lots of 911's and way more 944's in the 80's for P-cars. I think this car was misunderstood by the car buying public that equated the V-8 engine with stoplight performance and this was wasn't that. Then came the C4 vette and kind of stole the show. I'm glad they are starting to get some love as a cool car because there's tons of these in people's driveways broken. Once they get the repair bill and faint the car then sits for a decade or two. But now it's awiting on that brave soul with a love for Porsche and a fat wallet.

As someone who’s had the luxury to actually drive and work on a 928 I have to say they are an amazing car to be around in general.. it’s something Porsche in every opposite way a Porsche would be yet somehow it just works perfectly.. tho sadly the automatic transmissions they were sold with along side the manual.. just turn the whole experience into something akin to a American muscle car more than a sporty touring car

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

Yeah, an Auto and a Manual 928 are two VERY different experiences.

"The 928 is the Porsche for people that don't care that it has a Porsche emblem" - so true. My favorite German GT.

LegacyMuse Yıl önce

That's an incredible sound you've gotten out of it. I saw in another comment that it's the Euro cam and some different mufflers, but is that it?

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

Pretty much. True duals and the Euro motor. That's it. K- jet will always have more intake noise, though.

David Voss Yıl önce

@Wesley Kagan - Honestly, it sounds terrible. I thought you had had swapped in a “local” V8. I had a chance to get a 928S in the early 90’s, but found a ‘73 914 2.0 in perfect condition for $5k cash, and never looked back. Ok, I’m looking back now; thanks.

So, couple questions. 1. You said you’re moving, bigger garage?😁 2. Do you still have the vette or v12 or are those projects gone? 3. You’ve said you’re not an engineer but 99% of your videos are engineering leading me to think that if you’re not some type of engineer, what in the hell do you do for a living because I know you’re not flipping burgers.

My buddy back in the day (early 90's) had a German spec '78 928 built to ridiculous specs. And by 'ridiculous' i mean as much added lightness as possible and making 750hp on the dyno. He got it from a dead Miami drug dealer, the car next to it in the garage got carbombed, it took fire and blast damage, and he got it for next to nothing, basically for the scrap value. He picked at it for years doing a build from the ground up including internals, pistons, titanium valvetrain, wide open intake, ground shaking exhaust and a crazy color changing purple/green paint job. I used to drive it sometimes (we'd swap cars, i had a classic Benz) and it was wild! Thing was a drift beast lol, one of the easiest things i've ever slid, pinpoint accurate and more power than you could ever need to break it loose.

Car fans who've not driven an air cooled 911 and/or a 928 are not likely to get it...as the 911 gets so much attention. Even mid/late 80's 911's felt like driving a riding lawn mower with the pedals that hinges downward, they weren't fast, sounded a bit better than a Beetle and some were ugly. The 928 was comfortable, felt like a very modern well made vehicle as it was and the v8 sounded nice and had nice torque and power, better shifter feel as well.

Wesley Kagan Yıl önce

Exactly. The 911 is great as a large go-kart, the 928 is a car
