- This series documents the restoration of my 1990 Porsche 928 s4. The 928 was my teenage dream car. I first fell in love with the 928 when it was featured as the hero in Risky Business. In this episode I do a 928 walk around to look at the things on the car that I want to improve. The 928 was a 5 litre Porsche with a V8 and was my teenage dream car. I first fell in love with the 928 when it was featured as the car from Risky Business. With its 32 valve V8 the Porsche 928 s4 was a true supercar breaking the land speed record on the Utah Salt Flats at 172 mph in 1987. This series follows the process of mechanical, paint and body work, and interior restoration. It also looks at some of the unique features of the car and the history behind it.

I’ve had a 1984 928s for ten years now. Spent about on average $3000 per year to bring it up to top order, which also included putting Cup 1’s on the car. Love it. Worth every cent to keep these works of art alive. 🦘🇦🇺🙃.
They are beautiful cars and wonderful examples of the best the 80's had to offer. Thanks for watching.
My first Porsche was a 924 turbo (used) I bought in 1985. Then I bought my first new 911, an '88 and totally skipped over buying a 928 when it was the car that initially made me a Porsche freak. Since then I've had 9 911's, just ordered a 2022 model, a Cayenne and 2 Macans. In June I decided to look for a mint condition 928 and found an '89 red GT with 16 thousand miles on it. I was gobsmacked. When I saw it I couldn't help but buy it. Cost $88 thousand, shipped it from Cleveland, OH to Vancouver, paid the damn 15% taxes and put it another $20 thousand on major service, belts, pumps, what have you. The car looks like a brand new car. Totally flawless outside and inside and is the most unique Porsche I ever drove. Going to park it between Oct 1 and the end of February every year.
That's so cool. Thanks for sharing your story. I'd love to see your car sometime so if your'e going to a coffee and cars or something then let me know.. Thanks you for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already.
@@CENTERLANE - Bruce, let me know of such an occasion and where and I'll try to make it. Cheers
I subbed a while ago. Hoping for your success! Building an audience takes a while...I know.
Thank you! It definitely is work but still fun. Appreciate your support.
My understanding was spoiler in paint colour was an option? Have an original one but without your cracks/scratches…
I didn't know that. I always thought they were black until the GTS's came out. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great Video. Only I disagree with the use of alcantara. Period correctness is all...
I did struggle with that decision but I'm very happy with how it's turned out.
Thanks for subscribing. There'll be more episodes of Bruce's 928 coming. I have 10 episodes planned.
@@CENTERLANE and THAT is all that matters. I love the 928. I lived in Stuttgart when it came out. Cheers!
1987 not 1997 speed record on the Utah Salt Flats at 172 mph in 1997
Thanks for noticing my mistake and pointing it out. I have fixed it now. Thanks for watching!
The 911 is the poor man's 928. Sorry - I gotta call balls and strikes. the 928 was European "Car" of the Year 1979. No other sports car including the 911 has ever won "Car" of the year. The 928 has won 2 production car land speed record at Bonneville (1986 and 2020) - the 911 has exactly won none. Even 911 enthusiast Magnus Walker has started his 928 collection - its Now or Never for the 928 still the biggest bang for the buck in classic Porsches. Singer/RWB/RUF could easily reimagine 928s - its just a matter of time before someone specializes in customizing and outlawing 928s - There is no substitute.
