Isn't the 928 still the only V8 production Porsche or do they stick an 8 in the Cayenne?
Also, the upcoming "Panorama" sedan will probably have an 8.

The paint looks in great shape for "rotting".
Couldn't say the same with todays cars if left out in the sun for years

But, then, a 928 can still be hiding thousands of dollars worth of damage under immaculate skin.

i am sure there is dry rot everywhere....
take the newer one, strip it down and drop a 600hp chevy crate motor into it.

I find it ironic you said these cars are rotting...in *WORMLEYSBURG*, PA of all places. I'm guessing both cars are between 82 and 85 in vintage.
Anyhow, I like 928s, but I didn't really understand Porsche's insistance on having 2 cars that were about the same size, but completely different in the engine bay. To me the 924/44 and 928/68 were fighting twins. Neither was necessarily prettier than the other, though in that Scarface pic, the 928 looks rather basic and unflattering.

928=bigger, heavier GT, V8, around $120k in today's money.
They don't really have much in common aside from a vague silhoutte.

The 928 is a completely different Porsche line. Only came with an N/A V8. Heavy, high power GT type car.

The 924, 944 and 968 are all the same family...Looked down upon by many.
