When Carl Fausett and team arrived at Bonneville this year in an attempt to break the world record they set last year, they were met by a course that was quite literally below water. A heavy rain had poured on the area the Saturday before leaving large and deep pools of salt infused water.
Imagine driving your beloved Porsche through salt brine like that! Still, Carl had hopes it would …

There's no question that $109,500 is a high asking price for Porsche 928. However, this isn't any ordinary 928. It's a 1994 GTS and a pretty special one at that. You see, the Porsche 928 GTS is already a rare Porsche in its own right. While the numbers vary from source to source, most agree that for the 3 years the 928 GTS came into the US only 406 of them made their way to our shores. …

200 MPH? 210 MPH? Getting closer. When it comes to land speed records speed is measured to the fifth decimal place (hundred thousandths). So when Carl Fausett's Porsche 928 hit 216.63537 MPH, that was more than enough to capture the title of World's Fastest Porsche 928 (previously set at 206 MPH).

The answer depends on the Porsche in question and who you ask. A few months ago I wrote an article about a 928 GTS that sold for the record price of $92,500. This represented a premium of $7,000 above it's original selling price. Not huge, but gigantic when compared to its lesser priced contemporaries (the 928S, S2, S4, 928 GT, etc.).
Last April, Michael Willhoit told me, "I believe in …

Yes, you read that correctly. A one owner 1994 Porsche 928 GTS with 6k original miles sold for almost $7,000 more than the original MSRP of $85,706.00. This particular Porsche was one of only 44 built in 1994 with a 5 speed transmission and was as close to new as possible. If you've been thinking that current market conditions have softened prices, well it depends on the type and quality of …

I purchased my last Porsche from Michael Willhoit a little over two years ago (that's a picture of it below). Since that time Michael and I have become friendly and he even agreed to sponsor my site (hence his advertisement to the right over there). The other night we got to talking shop and I asked him about all the Porsche 928s he has listed for sale and the story behind it (as I always …

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. When it comes to Porsche, I’m a purist. I like my Porsches stock, straight from the factory. It’s not that I don’t appreciate modifications and the extra performance (or in this case utility) that comes with them, I just prefer things the way Porsche meant them to be. That’s why creations like Harry Thomas’ Porsche 928 pick-up seem to …

From time to time someone will wander into one of the online Porsche 928 chat forums and ask about resale value or “investment potential” of the 928. It’s almost always by someone who has never owned a 928 (or any other type of Porsche for that matter).
The issue is a complicated one as there are so many variables (condition of the car, how many were originally built, age, options, etc., …
