Porsche 928

Vehicle Description

The previous owners must have really enjoyed driving this Porsche with its classic black/ black colour scheme, how else would you explain the far above average mileage of an unwarranted 326,895 mls? Of course, this also speaks for the build quality of the Porsche 928 in general.

It goes without saying that this US import displays traces of wear and tear that give witness to a truly eventful life of the car: The seats, dashboard and leather headlining show cracks. Exhaust system, wheels and stereo are not original. the car was repainted in moderate quality. The features’ list includes power windows, air conditioning and subsequently tinted windows.

In view of the vehicle miles travelled, which correspond to a 13-time circumnavigation of the world, this Porsche will require extensive work on running gear, brakes and body. With regards to this, the car is being offered as a salvage car/ restoration project.

The other great Porsche

This was supposed to be the heir to the throne, successor to the forever-young 911, which in the late 1960s was thought to be way past its prime, with not much of a future ahead. Hence a radically different layout was favoured: The new top-of-the-range model was designed to be a luxury touring car, with a powerful watercooled V8 engine in the front, providing 176 kW (240 hp) from 4,5 l of displacement and a transaxle layout, which enabled a weight distribution of nearly 50/50 (front/rear). The 928 debuted in 1977 at the Geneva Motor show. In 1978, it won the coveted “European Car of the Year” award, as the first sports car ever – a clear indication of just how advanced the 928 was both technically as well as with regards to styling. Many Porsche enthusiasts, however, greeted the 928 with something ranging from suspicion to downright rejection, as the 911 continued to sell. Nevertheless, the 928 became a success in its own right, with a construction period of no less than 18 years. Later models featured a 5.4 litre engine with up to 257 kW (350 hp). Only about 1/5 of all 928 came with a manual gearbox!
