Bringing the house down: This 1979 Porsche 928 used in the film “Risky Business” shattered records when it sold for $1.98 million.

 

Barrett-Jackson’s debut auction in Houston took the collector car world by storm! From the finest classics and Resto-Mods to icons of the silver screen, the energy in Texas was immeasurable, an experience that only The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions could deliver. Shattering all expectations and leading the pack was the Tom Cruise-driven hero car from the film “Risky Business.” The 1979 Porsche 928 sold for an astonishing $1.98 million, eclipsing all previous auction records and becoming the world record auction sale of any Porsche 928 from any year. But the sleek Porsche wasn’t alone. Ford’s premiere hypercar, the GT, caused a bidding frenzy only matched by the incredible 1966 Shelby GT350 owned and raced by the great Sir Stirling Moss.
