Risky Business Porsche Sells for $1.98 Million at Barrett-Jackson Houston Auction

A total of more than $35.4 million in sales.

The results are in from Barrett-Jackson’s Inaugural Houston auction and they show more than impressive results. Shining as the star of the event was a Porsche 928 from the film “Risky Business,” which sold for a wild $1.98 million. That price set a world record for any Porsche 928 sold at auction, ever. Coming in at second and third place for top 10 sales from the auction were 2019 Ford GTs, showing that the collector world is still more than interested in the American supercar. Interestingly enough, there were five Ford GTs in total in the top 10 list. Barrett-Jackson also offered up a pair of NFTs, which sold for a combined $14,000. You can view the entire top 10 list down below.

We’re far more than a car auction; we’re an immersive automotive experience with exhibitors, thrill rides and activities that rivals any event. We can’t wait for our January 2022 Scottsdale Auction, when we’ll celebrate everything we’ve accomplished over our 50-year history, in true Barrett-Jackson fashion.”
