This is my 1984 Porsche 928S 5-speed in great collectible condition. I've had this car for about a year; I've loved it, and now it is time for someone else to enjoy it. I believe this is one of the finest 928S models for sale in the country.
I would not hesitate to drive this car to California and back. This is a reliable, dependable, great-driving car with no known mechanical problems.
The 928 is one of my all-time favorite Porsches. This car was the pinnacle of design and technology that Porsche could acheive at the time. The 928 was meant to replace the 911 and as a matter of fact, a 1984 928S beats a 1984 911 in every category, including horsepower, torque, acceleration, handling and braking. Not to mention that the 928 is far more comfortable and luxurious than a 911. The problem with the 928 was price. It was something like $20,000 MORE expensive than a 911, and sales suffered for it. Subsequent owners often failed to properly maintain these cars, and it is all too common to find horribly neglected and dilapidated 928s that require more work than they are worth. Stay away from those cars- my car is NOT one of them! This is a clean, original, well-kept, great-driving 928S that runs, drives and performs beautifully.
I bought this car for the rare 5-speed manual transmission more than anything else. Only about 15% of all 928s were made with the manual transmission- the majority were automatics. The problem with the automatic in my mind, is that in addition to being much less fun, it starts in second gear, meaning that the automatics were very slow off the line and functioned basically like a 3-speed. The 5-speed manual, like in this car, is the only way to go if you're looking for an enthusiast's car.
This was the second model year for the higher-horsepower "S" model, and you can really tell the difference between the earlier 1978-1982 models and this car.
In the last few years the 928 has begun to get the respect that it deserves, and values have continued to climb and show no sign of stopping. You could easily buy this car now, keep it for a few years, then sell it for a profit.
This car has the following equipment and options:
- 4.7L all-aluminum V8 engine
- 5-speed manual transmission
- leather seats
- power driver's seat
- power locks and windows
- cruise control
- tilt wheel
- automatic climate control with A/C
This car has 17" wheels from a Porsche Boxster with good tires. This change really updates the look of the car, in my opinion. It makes the car look totally modern. I took someone for a ride last week and they could not guess how old this Porsche was. They were shocked when I said it was almost 30 years old!
This car starts, runs and drives great. The V8 rumble is outstanding and will make your hair stand up. I just replaced the transmission with a warranted unit (the synchros had begun to go bad) for a cost of $2500. The transmission shifts great, and goes in and out of all gears, up and down, with no trouble. The clutch is tight and the brakes are good. The suspension is tight and stable, and this car feels right at home taking an entrance ramp curve at 80 mph. This car is tight, stable, solid and drives VERY WELL. There are no noted fluid leaks.
Included are the previous owners' receipts, paperwork and registrations. There is a note indicating that the timing belt and water pump were replaced at 108,380 miles. If you're a 928 enthusiast you know how important that is.
This car has what appears to be all-original paint. The paint is in very good condition for being 29 years old, and looks good. The body is straight and clean with no major flaws, dents or dings. Of course the car is mostly aluminum, but still there is no noted body panel rust. This car looks beautiful, clean and original; not messed-around-with.
The interior is original. The leather seats are often a weak spot for these cars, and these seats have held up rather well, considering. They are still in very presentable condition, not cracked, shredded or falling apart like you see so often. The driver's outside seat bolster is worn thru a bit, and the seats do show their appropriate age, but otherwise the leather is all intact and in decent shape. The cost to reupholster these 928 seats is about $2000, so be sure to buy a car with decent seats like mine, or be prepared to pay plenty. The shift knob and shift boot are brand new.
Keep in mind this is a nearly 30 year old car and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Both headlights come up properly and work fine. The HVAC temp controls and blower motor work fine, but the A/C doesn't blow cold and I haven't looked into it. The entire A/C system is intact, so there is no reason it couldn't be made to work if someone wanted. Both driver and passenger windows work properly. The cruise does not appear to work.
This is probably one of the best 928S cars for sale in the country. This is a clean, original, great-driving car that will be tons of fun for the new owner, not to mention a greatly appreciating investment.
This car is kept in my heated warehouse in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped, I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.
This is a no reserve listing, but I have a number in my head that might buy the car now. Email/call me to discuss this possibility.
If you have questions, please email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341.

Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against
Tue, 07 May 2013One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"
Porsche's latest Driver's Selection keeps enthusiasts happy at home
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Porsche fans - and there are certainly plenty of them out there, even in here on the Autoblog editorial staff - can be pretty emphatic about their enthusiasm, insisting that the 911 is the very definition of the sportscar. And for some, merely admiring one from afar or even leaving theirs parked outside isn't enough. For just such enthusiats, Porsche Design has expanded its Driver's Selection with some tantalizing additions for the home and office.
First up is a desk chair made from the bucket seat in a 911 Carrera, which we have to admit we'd rather be sitting in right now over this blasted, rather unexciting ergonomic office chair. It's covered in black leather (the same you'd find inside an actual 911) embossed with the Porsche emblem and features electronic backrest adjustment.
There's also a wall shelf made from the carbon-fiber rear spoiler a 911 GT3 Cup racecar that can support up to 264 pounds of downforce in the form of books, trinkets and whathaveyou. And there's a limited-edition resin model of the 918 Spyder in 1:8 scale. The items haven't hit the Porsche shop just yet, so we don't have pricing information, but if they tickle your fancy, the online store has plenty more to offer.
