Finished Porsche 928 review | Casey's 80s Garage

Casey Putsch reviews the 1979 Porsche 928 in this episode of Casey's 80s Garage.

I daily drove my '88 S4 for 6 years here in NJ, all year around. Put close to 88K on the car doing that.. Awesome car and very reliable despite of what you might hear.

[@F3Y3F3]

The 928 was to me the most drop-dead gorgeous Porsche ever. Also, fabric is far superior to leather.

[@donwilbanks2226]

The 928 is my Holy Grail car.

[@edb8120]

I used to have a co-worker that had a 928. He would loan it to me to make business trips. Best road manners ever, and enough power and speed to get into trouble.

[@ricvis44]

I have always liked the 928 the best of all Porsches. “Risky Business”

[@bicyclist2]

I've always loved the 928 ever since I first saw one. I perfer it to any supercar ever made. I hope to own one some day. I love the beautiful interior. The fabric is period correct. I see too many that get modified. Thanks.

[@lancairw867]

928 Some of the best pop up lights of the 80s and the C4 Corvette flip around 👍🏼

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Got your movies mixed up there, Casey. Tom Cruise was the "U-Boat commander" in Risky Business. But, Al Pacino (who was in The Godfather) drove a 928 in Scarface - "Give me a phone, with a scrambler. And put in a radio with one of those scanners, so I can pick up flying saucers." The 928 has an absolutely gorgeous silhouette, and I love the fastback design, but one thing that you failed to mention is the beautiful shut-lines of the doors. Drop dead sexy!

[@dB_944]

Can’t wait for 9/44/20!!

[@jimmccomb6849]

Its because of the 928 i started fallowing you, at the time i had a 1983 944 and still have my 79 928 which i found funny as I explained to my wife that I wasn’t the only fool with these 2 cars and your were same years respectively. I really hope you get another 928 would love to watch you do some service on it, timing belt etc. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@dreyn7780]

NO. Casey is fooling himself. Who does he think he is? GarryWarren Smith? You don't even like the conservative German brand called Porsche. Casey said he wanted a white Porsche. Well, They're not just white. It's a shade of white that's had all the harshness taken out of it. But Casey never wears all white clothing.

[@cornerstoneboxingpromotion3120]

That is literally the best pascha interior I've ever seen. All else have been worn to the threads!

[@MurlocRacing]

One of my favorite cars ever. Love the 928

[@irdmoose]

I love Casey's attitude about the 911... It's basically, "You can hate me because I'm right. I don't care."

[@kopski6531]

Love how this beast turned out! Between the Avalon King, Pasha seats, and overall great look and performance!

[@dreyn7780]

The seats don't show a shape. When you look at the car, you notice wheels and something at the seats area. Our mind doesn't recognize seats. We see checkered flag patterns in the middle of the seats. We understand It's a racing style car.

[@itstheweather5859]

I didn't like the print in the beginning, but since I know it was original as an option, I like it a lot more.

[@itstheweather5859]

I've seen the pasha as door panel print with leather seats which looks lovely too.

[@itstheweather5859]

The fabric vs leather is correct via history. wool velvet was used in train seat upholstery and car seats before leather. The velvet is supple, beautiful and lasts a long time.

[@jasonvanevery5594]

Mr. Putsch is on point. A 1983 928 followed me home 6 years ago. It is a lovely straightforward car to work on and enjoy. My biggest gripe is previous “mechanics” german-torquing the threads out of aluminum housings of the drivetrain. Helicoils are your friend. Most spares are readily available. When not, the is a cottage industry rebuilding or fabricating replacements.

[@edwardgreenjr167]

My lord that interior came out incredible. I cannot be looking at 928s online now.

[@dB_944]

One of the best things about Porsches is that they sound very mechanical from the outside. I think putting a loud exhaust really detracts from the car.

[@dreyn7780]

Porsche is fun and conservative.

[@pederfallbom]

Sign of true quality🙂👍

[@gregorycasey7358]

I have loved the 928 the day it came out. I had to get the hot wheel when it came out. Still think it’s beautiful.

[@george-rt7nd]

Your 928 came out beautiful and looks very original ! Love the interior.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Glad you like it

[@jaredharris7385]

It looks absolutely stunning, the interior and exterior are great throughout.

[@ScottJ175]

Every time you mention Bosch FI my mind wanders back to that '87 Alfa Spider Graduate I had. Rebuilt title. Bought it for $1,000 in 2005. Enjoyed it for about a year and the clutch went out. Let it sit until 2012 and pulled the drivetrain. Then let it sit like that until 2015 when I decided to punt and put it on Ebay. Bidding war ensued and it sold for $800 to a local buyer. Contacted him recently and learned he put it all in a storage building and it's still sitting there. Occasionally think about trying to buy it back for $800 and rescuing but I now have a Miata to scratch the roadster itch so I dunno.

[@wolframgeuting562]

So sad you let go the cool 928 ! Very special car !

[@hilanddoug]

Love that color. Still rather have my 951 back, but if I get a chance to get a 928 at a good price, I'm doing it.

[@Lessenjr]

Someday I'll have an 87ish S4. Been my dream car for 20+ years. Hard to find the sticks though. Mught be darn near impossible to find an affordable one when im finally able.

[@OttoTheWeim]

That’s a gorgeous car. I’ve always loved the 928. Who doesn’t love a Porsche with a V8.

[@mmonkeyman1403]

The 928 and 924/944 are cool, but i think the front engine configuration really isn't in the spirit of the brand. I know its part of why they exist, but still.

[@chesswizard31]

@@mmonkeyman1403 It makes zero sense when people say this. Any other sports car manufacturer is allowed to make mid and front engine cars, as well as GTs. But not Porsche, lmao.

[@pederfallbom]

​@@mmonkeyman1403So wrong. Most cars Porsche has ever produced, road or race has been either front or midengined setup. Why cant many of the Porsche crowd just be greatful of all the incredible engineering Porsche has given us!? Remember that even the 911 is now mid engine in the RSR racecar.

[@xg5zm]

Great job. Well done. Great result for a sensible budget. That's the difficult roling restoration. How many of us end up spending too much, and the result... well mine is great! 😁

[@dreyn7780]

And he experienced the sensations of FUN and swiftness through conservative means.

[@OnPointFirearms]

Aw man, just came from your original 928 video and was hoping to see bronze wheels and houndstooth cloth. That cloth is fucking crazy mad shatter!

[@dreyn7780]

Thank you casey for explaining the driving sensations. Now the object becomes something we can understand.

Ha ha ha. I’m literally in middle while watching this video of putting the scirocco back together after putting a new fuel tank in it. Lots of rust flakes in there.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

This car is crazy hard to drive. You got to go fast. Other cars are all in the way. It's tough to get through the gears.

[@cschnauz]

Well done. Love the 928. Love you kept it the way it should be. Looks immaculate Sad you didn’t keep it

[@BennysBenz]

I agree with you about the car speculation crowd.

[@Chris-hq7nl]

I really prefer cloth seats to leather if it's good cloth. It's more comfortable, it's easier to care for, and it wears better.

[@JAGDTIGER12345]

Woah! It's beautiful! Sorry I haven't been able to stay up to date as much as I'd like, but when I do tune in; quality. 👌

Non sunroof 928s are kind of hard to find

[@aserta]

Especially since in the late 90's early 00's everyone kept putting them in. I never understood why you'd cut a hole in your perfectly good roof, to put a window, that doesn't really ventilate unless you run the air, which nobody did, and that's covered in smoke wrapper anyways, so it's not like you enjoy the sky through it. So stupid.

914s are coming up in value and respect now that Porsche is officially part of the VW Group. Ironically, I posted a short video with all these three Porsches. I had a 1975 2.0 914 back in the day. Also use to drive my rich friend’s father’s brand new 1986 930, silver, red leather, 4 speed. Now that’s a car, and also felt like driving a VW bus, but with crazy mad turbo lag. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ3Unn6mqJyob80

I just absolutely hate seeing the clouds of dust that perpetually fly out of cloth seats anytime you tap them... 😰🤢

Very true sir But nobody breaks out the shampoo machine to clean their seats every week. Sad but true. Everything designed today for the workforce. There's no time to clean everyday.

[@RzogL]

Lovely, pure Sharknose with amazing Pascha trim and a Casey Putsch signature behind the driver's seat. Not sure about that 986 rear view mirror though. Did that come from the Zero car?

The new owner actually asked for the signature.

Maybe 928's and 944's don't rust, but every 914 I've seen for sale has somewhere between minor rust and catastrophic rust. Maybe that's why some people don't consider the 914 a "real" Porsche.

[@Ermy1996]

I wish I had one. From '94-'95. Too bad they're too expensive. By douchebags of course. And I disagree with you Casey. Leather seats are generally better. Fabric seats will boil your ass and groin if it's hot. Also they're easier to clean.

[@Bill-up5vi]

How did you fix the dash and the shift boot?

[@realdata1378]

100%. The 911 is the poor man's 928. Sorry - I gotta call balls and strikes. the 928 was European "Car" of the Year 1979. No other sports car including the 911 has ever won "Car" of the year. The 928 has won 2 production car land speed record at Bonneville (1986 and 2020) - the 911 has exactly won none. Even 911 enthusiast Magnus Walker has started his 928 collection - its Now or Never for the 928 still the biggest bang for the buck in classic Porsches. Singer/RWB/RUF could easily reimagine 928s - its just a matter of time before someone specializes in customizing and outlawing 928s - There is no substitute.

To Quote Michelle Pfeiffer From Scarface (another film that had a 928 too no less) it looks like somebody's Nightmare lol like that would drive me nuts looking at that seat covering through the rear view mirror all the time, as I think dark grey and black would have worked better for the checkerboard and made it abit more subtile and easier to live with all at once. like I like the idea but......... lol

Can you remove the rear spoiler, if it has one? For the cleaner look.

[@justinlafever5653]

You “can,” but you will need to swap the rubber molding and aluminum molding around the con-caved rear quarter windows. The models with the rear spoiler had different window moldings to shape around the spoiler on the quarter windows. Also, same problem with the *aluminum* molding around the hatch window. That will also need to be swapped with spoiler-less molding. There’s also obviously some bolt holes that will need to filled in. Other than that it’s good to go. If you’re talking about a S4 or newer, then you just remove the spoiler/wing from the hatch and fill in the bolt holes.
