The 928 was designed and built to be the flagship Porsche automobile rivaling Ferrari and other exotics. The 928, when new, commanded the highest sticker price of any production car. Good examples are still available for $10,000 and under. The turn out of 928s at the PCA events I attend is increasing. Sometihng is happening though what may not be clear at the moment. Get in a nice one and drive. Then you will no why "There is no substitute" Given that 928s easily outdrive and outperform most classic muscle cars it is only a matter of time before the price of well kept, well reconditioned, and well restored cars begins to escalate.

If you have a low mileage, near perfect 1995 (last year) GTS. There never were more than 104 and now there are less than 70 on the road. One of the 19 or so manual gearbox cars would be even better.

There are a few out there who will buy a 928 at a lower then average price, then turn it over for a profit. But, big but, they are doing it for that profit, not for the pleasure of owning and driving a fine piece of automotive engineering. I have put many dollars into my collection of '86 928S super cars and don't expect to sell them as an investment. My return out of these is sanity, the pure pleasure of putting one on like a glove and feeling it accelerate me down the road with the grand musical symphony of a Porsche V8 at full song... Another unexpected bonus of owning these is the great group of people you meet that are like minded and understand your passion. Understand all the little things that will bore the dickens out of your spouse or non-owner friends, these people will get it, and have the same perma-grin that you have. Can a 928 be an investment? In my mind no, not for $, but for the hobbyist that is willing to turn wrenches and spend the time to do his own work and reap the rewards, Yes!!

While I agree that the "shark" was/is a beautiful design (the GTS and S4 being my favorites), the 911 is an "icon" of sports car design.I've heard rumors of a new 928 in the near future (after the release of the Panamera). In fact, it's my opinion that a lot of the design styling/cues for the Panamera come from the 928 Tarek,
