Price: US $6,500.00
1986 Porsche 928 S
automatic transmission; exceptionally rare, low mileage – 47, 000, high option
original car in near perfect condition and impeccably maintained.
This
Porsche 1986 928 S looks like it could be a new car sitting on the showroom
floor of a Porsche dealership. It looks and drives like a new car. With only
47k miles, the car is not even broken in.
The car has led a pampered life with no expense
spared in maintaining the car in excellent original condition. All significant
maintenance records from new are included, along with the window sticker and
original owners manuals and extra keys. $4k was just spent installing new
performance tires, timing belt, water pump, oxygen sensor, and AC service
(R134a that blows under 35 degrees). The car could be a luxurious performance
daily driver or stored to appreciate in value.
Nearly
every available option is included, including the rare limited slip
differential, full leather interior with 8-way power adjustable heated seats
for driver and passenger, and anti-lock braking system (among the very first
production cars with ABS braking). Also included are the typical standard and
fully functional features: air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, locks, sunroof, wipers, rear hatch release, etc. The original Blaupunkt stereo
remains intact and functional except the amplifier (also uncommon among used
928s).
The car
wears a beautiful Garnet Red metallic paint and an exceedingly rich cordovan
brown interior with perfect supple, original leather seats and wool carpet. It
has never been in an accident, but there was a small repair to the paint on the
right rear quarter panel, otherwise the car wears its original paint in
beautiful condition except for a few stone chips. The car has no dings or dents.
This car
comes equipped with a luxurious full leather interior covering the dash, door
panels, arm rests and other interior trim in addition to the seats. The leather
is perfect and remains soft and supple, with no signs of sun damage.
The 1986
cars have the 32v, four cam, 5.0L 288 horsepower motor, one of the most
advanced engines of its time. The engine produces 300 ft. lbs. of torque from
2700 rpms, offering effortless power at any speed. The engine sounds like a
mechanical symphony, producing wonderfully smooth and powerful induction and
exhaust notes all the way to its 6000 rpm limit. It is truly a masterpiece of
German precision engineering, in 1986 and now.
Unlike
the later S4 cars, the 1985-86 928 S models have more aggressive shifting and
are lighter, making them much more sporting to drive and more nimble than the
87 and newer S4 cars. Not until the GT and GTS arrived with more horsepower did
the 928 recover its sporty feel, in my humble opinion. The 85 and 86 cars are
my personal favorite of the Porsche 928 line. If you do wish to improve upon
German precision engineering, chips are available for the 85-86 cars that allow
these engines to produce over 300 horsepower.
Very few
original, low mileage Porsche 928 vehicles remain and they seldom come up for
sale. I will probably regret selling this car. This is a wonderful vehicle that will reward you with many years of
enjoyment, while appreciating in value along with other classic Porsches.
Payment and shipping
$500 deposit required within 24 hours of the end of the
auction otherwise I will offer the car to another buyer, and full payment is required within 7 days. The deposit is
refundable if for some reason you do not believe the car was fairly
represented. I will help coordinate shipping on my end, but the buyer is
fully responsible for arranging and paying for the cost of shipping. For those in California, the car will have a current smog certificate and registration paid through 2016.
I may cancel bids from those with negative feedback, particularly those with a history of not following through. Please contact me if you have no or negative feedback and you wish to bid.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I am a long time
Porsche enthusiast and happy to answer any questions. This is a great
car - you will love it!
