The electrical panel is in the front passenger seat area and notorious for getting wet, rusty, inoperative and disabling random circuits on the car. The 928's production span 1977-95 roughly coincided with my tenure as an electrical/electronic editor of automotive shop manuals. :-(
Parked in my ‘hood.
There are plenty of nice cars around here, but this is something a little out of the ordinary.
Cool 928 …
Looks in great condition, not an easy car to maintain due to the complexity of electrical systems. I had one many years ago, fondly remembered.
The dream car of my youth.
And one of my favorite cars of all time. If money were no object this is the only car I would purchase as a weekend car just to enjoyt it once in a while.
My brother-in-law
had two 928's at various times, fond memories in those cars,
They were a hoot to drive. Moved quite well for a relatively
heavy car.
So cool.
One of my friend’s mom had one back when I was in junior high school and she gave me a ride home from Soccer games in it (I had to sit in the back as my friend was up front but I didn’t care). I thought it was the coolest car at the time.
Luckily you were in the back
They are exciting cars to drive when new and depressing when old.
Here's how the panel should look when new or in a car that never gets driven hard in weather.
Here's a typical used car.
Funny, I’ve seen 3 in the last two weeks as some cars and coffee meets.
And I don’t think I took a picture of any. Next time I snap one or two.
When I was 20 years old,
Working in Luxembourg, there was one parked near where I lived. I admired it each evening coming back (I had no time in the morning, was rushing).
