Anyone who remembers the plot of Risky Business (1983) will recall the film was a wild ride from start to finish. They’re also likely to recall Joel Goodson’s (Tom Cruise) dad’s car, the impeccable 1979 Porsche 928, which is now listed for sale.

Car collectors and movie buffs alike will collectively turn their attention to Houston, Texas on September 28, 2021, when the vehicle lands on the auction block, without reserve, at Barrett-Jackson.

As far as Hollywood blockbusters go, few rides can compete with the backstory, smooth quality, and overall sports car essence of the Porsche 928.

Spoiler alert: we all saw Joel’s pain when this car bubbled its way down to the bottom of Lake Michigan after another misadventure. Imagine the pain of losing a ride as sweet as this to forgetting to use the emergency brake! Luckily, this model has no water damage.

A few versions of the car were used throughout the 80s flick’s production, but the one being marketed now spent the most time on screen. It was part of the famous car chase that led the protagonist to coyly utter the unforgettable line, “Porsche… There is no substitute.”

The car’s presence is so grand that it inspired another movie, a documentary rather, of its own: The Quest for the RB928 (Risky Business 928) by Lewis Johnsen, a filmmaker who opted to locate the cars used in Risky Business. 

The car up for auction is in pristine condition. As adored in the movie, the gold exterior and cork leather interior remain intact. With appearances in the Porsche North America exhibit and a museum, the ride certainly has earned a few additional badges of honor since its original debut.

219 horses ensure the two-door car’s powerhouse looks are backed up by an impressive performance. The hood covers a 4.5-liter V8, and the car tops out at 143 MPH.
