1994 Porsche 928GTS

We rarely feature cars that aren’t advertised to the general public at GCFSB, and when we do, it is typically for a very special car. The one here is no exception. It’s a beautiful Gran Prix White over Classic Grey 1994 Porsche 928 GTS automatic with 58,000 miles. Furthermore, this particular example has been owned by the president of the 928 Owners’ Club since 1997. With numerous concours awards under its belt, this car is well-known in among the close-knit community of 928 owners as a top notch example of the final series. To top it all off, this car is a late VIN ’94.

For those who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of 928 GTS production, production for the 1994 model year was divided into two segments; early and late model-year cars. The early ‘94s were specced exactly like 1993 928s (with Cup I wheels, the RDK tire pressure monitoring system, and weaker conrods). The late 1994 models received a few upgrades which included Cup II (993) style wheels with no RDK, a cabin pollen filter, and reinforced connecting rods. These were the last upgrades that Porsche ever gave the 928, which remained in production until 1995 (thus, aside from a differing term denoting the model year in the VIN, 928s built as late 1994 models and as 1995 models are exactly the same).

1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 Limited Edition – REVISIT

The 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 Limited Edition we featured last year is back up for sale, this time surfacing in California. Wearing Euro market headlamps, this final year W201 has accumulated just under 5,500 miles in that time and comes at a considerable discount since when we last saw it. Rarely do you get a chance to acquire such a rare piece of Mercedes-Benz history for such little cash. Given the choice between the new CLA and this stately compact sedan, I’d reach for the keys to the original baby Benz every time.

1997 BMW M3

While the BMW E30 M3 is experiencing epic levels of popularity, for yours truly, it’s not my favorite of the lot. No, my favorite would be the E36 M3. I’ve always had a thing for this car, even if it’s heart was based on the M50 inline-6 found in lesser E36 models. There is something about the crisp lines of the E36 that grabs my attention, as the E46 which followed was a bit softer in appearance. Today, we no longer have a two-door M3. Instead, we’ve moved up a number to the M4. Even though it’s “technically” an M3, I’m not too keen on driving a car with the same name as a motorway in the United Kingdom. So let’s take a look at this 1997 M3 for sale in Illinois. Finished in Estoril Blue, this one has yet to cross the 70,000 mile mark.

Porsche 928 Roundup

Last month, I had the pleasure of stopping by the 19th annual 928 Frenzy in Sterling, Virginia. In all the years of being a car enthusiast, rarely have I come across a more tight knit and dedicated group of enthusiasts devoted towards one model of vehicle. I’ve learned a lot about these V8 GT cars through fellow enthusiasts over at flüssig magazine and from Jim Doerr at 928 Classics. If you are a fan or owner of the 928 and haven’t checked out either of these sites, you would be well advised to do so. These are people who are helping keep the dream alive when it comes to Porsche’s beloved V8 coupe.

The 928 is a special car and really stands apart from both its contemporaries and modern sports cars of today. While some of the 911 set deride it, the 928 was the first clean sheet design from Porsche. So good was this design, it would last almost 20 years, still looking strikingly current at the end of its production run in 928GTS form. Taking a cue from Carter’s 924 Roundup earlier in the week, let’s take a moment to pay homage to this great GT car and take a look at the different variants throughout the years, staring off with this 1978 928 for sale in Italy.
