Roofless Porsche 928: Custom Coachwork, Not a Factory Convertible (7 Photos)

This Porsche 928 didn't just lose its roof: its iconic pop-up round headlights were swapped for rectangular units, while the folded soft top stows neatly beneath a custom rear deck cover. The green 1982 model was converted by California-based coachbuilder Richard Straman.







Porsche itself never produced a series 928 Convertible. According to the listing by Broad Arrow, this example was converted into a drop-top around 1990. Remarkably, the builders managed to preserve some trunk space despite accommodating the soft-top mechanism.







Inside, the cabin retains the model's signature dashboard, trimmed in terracotta leather. The photos show the car with its soft top raised, as well as views of the rear seats and engine bay. The result is an open-top grand tourer that Porsche's factory lineup never offered.
