Tom Cruise's 'Risky Business' Porsche sold for record $2 million
Fox News
A Porsche 928 featured in the Tom Cruise film "Risky Business" was sold at the Barrett-Jackson Houston auction for $1.98 million setting a record for the model. According to the film's producer, Jon Avnet, he taught Cruise how to drive a stick shift in it.
The gold V8-powered coupe was one of four that appeared on camera and served as the so-called "hero car" for exterior shots with Cruise behind the wheel.
It took a little effort to get him there. The 20-year-old Cruise didn't know how to drive with a manual transmission and had to be taught in this very car by producer Jon Avnet, according to the documentary "The Quest for RB 928." The film recounts the search for the car, which had disappeared from the public eye into private ownership before being rediscovered and turned into a celebrated Hollywood artifact.
The car had been repainted for the production and several times afterward, but has been restored to its on-screen color and retains its original interior. The signatures of "Risky Business" actors Bronson Pinchot, Joe Pantoliano, Curtis Armstrong and Francine Locke can be found within it, but it'll be up to the new owner to track down Cruise for his autograph.
