Porsche 928 from 'Risky Business' up for auction, expected to fetch at least $1.4 million

The movie exploits of Tom Cruise from behind the wheel wouldn?t put him in the same league as fellow actor/drivers James Dean and Steve McQueen, but Cruise?s co-star in ?Risky Business? ?�a 1979 gold Porsche 928 coupe ? did help to burnish his reputation. Three Type 928 cars were used in the production of the film, and one will be on the block at Bonham?s Quail Auction event in Carmel, California, scheduled for August 16. The estimated selling price is set at between $1.4 million and $1.

At the culmination of the chase, reportedly in this car, Cruise then stared directly in the camera and uttered the forever marketing line, ?Porsche. There is no substitute.? The Bonhams press release notes that Cruise learned to drive a stick shift in this particular Porsche, which was built with a five-speed manual. Producer Jon Avnet supposedly helped with the training.
