You'd flood the market make them worthless. Plus they wouldn't have any patina cause they'd be brand new! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Porsche 928 1978-1995... one of the most technically competent cars available over its entire lifespan.
If you've ever driven one, you'll agree with me, they are a sheer pleasure to drive, and drive fast.

Jim, I had a red 84 s with ss exhaust, no cats, somekind of HP cams and 18" wheels. I'll try to find some pics. You are right, 928's are one of the neatest cars ever made. I think I only put about 5000 mi on it in 12 years. Glenn

Hi Glenn, my dad had an '83 (non S), somewhat low mileage, crunchy 2nd gear syncro, otherwise a very sound car. I have yet to drive a car that was so well rounded, braking, acceleration, grip...comfort.... they really do it all. Bad thing is the repair costs. Timing belt, water pump, transaxle, clutch, cooling, you name it...it's made of German Gold. Still, they are great cars. see you Saturday.  Grin
