'Risky Business' - 1981 Porsche 928
"Risky Business" is the 1983 teen comedy that made Tom Cruise a star. He plays a suburban Chicago teenager left home alone by his parents for the weekend, with explicit instructions to keep his hands off of the stereo and off of his father's 1981 Porsche 928. Neither instruction is heeded, and the fun begins.
Six Porsches were used in filming, and in 2007 a fan of the movie, Lewis Johnson, told the Porsche enthusiast publication Excellence the story of his decade-long quest to acquire one. After much legwork, he was able to track down a 1979 model used in some wide shots, which he donated to the Forney Museum of Transportation. "I realized that what I was really chasing was an illusion," he told the magazine. "And you can't drive one of those home and park it in your garage."
