1986 1/2 Porsche 928 S; near perfect and all original w/ the very rare 5-speed and sunroof delete, owner, ll significant records since new.
All original and near perfect 1986.5 Porsche 928S with the very rare combination of 5-speed manual transmission and sunroof delete (providing 2 inches of additional headroom for taller drivers). Owned by a tech executive, his lovely car has spent its entire life in the San Francisco Bay Area, ovingly garaged and maintained according to factory specifications. All significant maintenance records from new are included, long with the window sticker and original owners manuals and extra keys. You will find no rust or corrosion anywhere. The car runs and drives superb.
The car is all original with beautiful meteor gray paint and gray beige interior with very nice original leather seats and carpet. It has never been in an accident and there are no dents or dings. The original leather seats are in very good condition with no cracks and only minimal wear in the leather on either seat. At 97k miles, his 928 looks nearly new. The paint is all original and high gloss with no sun damage.
Owned for 30 years by a Porsche 928 enthusiast. This is the fourth and favorite 928 that was purchased from new (the others were a 1978, 9, nd 82).
The 1986.5 cars have the 32v, cam, .0L 288 horsepower motor, nd big brakes (with ABS) and suspension of the later 928 S4 cars without the added weight of the S4. The 5-speed is the smoother shifting Borg Warner transmission with the more durable and functional syncros. This makes for a very lively and sporting car to drive that is a favorite among 928 enthusiasts.
Air conditioning and heating perform properly. The AC system was recently serviced and blows very cold (38 degrees). The optional rear AC functions properly too. All of the gauges and lights function properly. The factory alarm, ower windows, ipers and windshield washers function as new.
In terms of significant maintenance, he major common 928 items have been recently completed. The timing belt was replaced at 47k and 75k. The steering gear and power steering pump are new (at 94k) and the clutch was replaced. The Michelin Sport Pilot tires have about 9k of use and are in excellent condition. The brakes were last reported to be at 80%. Spark plugs and wires were recently replaced. The fluids were recently changed and the mass air sensor was adjusted to factory spec. The rear hatch weatherstripping is new. Many other items were taken care of over the years as needed. The car needs nothing.
The original tool kit, ehicle jack and unused air compressor are also included. There are a few small chips in the paint and a few small cracks in the dash that were repaired.
Not many original and well maintained Porsche 928 vehicles remain and few come up for sale. Fewer still have the 5-speed without a sunroof. This is a wonderful vehicle and will reward you with many years of enjoyment.
