Every time I set eyes on a Porsche 928, I still am amazed by the fact that this car was introduced in 1977. This was one of those landmark cars, much like the Citroën DS over 20 years earlier, that moved the chains in terms of car design. Integrated bumpers and a streamlined greenhouse took the world by storm in an era where disco music had yet to die. While I prefer the later GT and GTS models, the early 928s have merit in their own right. This 1980 example for sale in Miami has covered under 50,000 miles and is equipped with the automatic gearbox.
