Upon completion, this 928 S4 was shipped to California where it was
sold by Bozzani Porsche of West Covina, CA. The first owner, a Mr.
Schwier, of Garden Grove, CA took delivery on 5-12-87. He only kept
the car until February 1990 when he sold it with just over 21,000
miles on the odometer. The second owner, also a Southern California
resident, kept the car from 1990 until 2019 when it was sold to
European Collectibles. Service work during his lengthy ownership
was entrusted to his local Porsche dealer, Newport Auto Center, and
a well-respected independent shop, DeVitos Porsche Service. A
complete file of records from the first owner is on hand, but we
only have a limited supply from the second owner. However, during
his ownership, all repairs and maintenance items were addressed
immediately and this car benefits from never sitting for too long -
it has been in road-trip ready condition its entire life. For
example, Newport Beach Porsche replaced all motor mounts and
rebuilt the front suspension after some sagging and poor handling
were noticed. More recent major service work included timing belt
and water pump replacements five years ago (less than 500 miles
since) at DeVito's. Once European Collectibles purchased this car,
we replaced all four brake rotors, all pads and sensors and bled
the braking system. Additionally, we fitted four new Michelin tires
and passed California's stringent smog testing program.
This 928 S4 runs and drives very well and the power from the
32-valve V8 engine mated to the 5-speed manual transmission is a
lot of fun. The body is in excellent condition without any
noticeable dents and VIN tags on every panel proving they are
original to the car. The Silver Metallic paintwork shines nicely
and is free of any major scratches. Understandably, the nose has
some stone chips, but the light color helps to conceal them. Where
this car really stands out is in the interior department - the
seats were covered in sheepskins from 1990 to 2019 and they did a
wonderful job of preserving the leather. The seats are soft and
have a minimal amount of wear. This car was garaged and covered for
its entire life and doesn't have any interior fading, panel warpage
or the dreaded dash cracks. The original stereo head unit was
upgraded at some point and is working well. Other minor
modifications include the fitment of 17" Turbo Twist wheels with
correct offset that allow to the tires to fit perfectly under the
fenders. A roof-mounted antenna that became standard on later 928
models, was installed. Included in the sale are the original
owner's manuals, Bozzani Porsche plate frame, all spare tire
equipment, a complete tool kit and some service records. We think
this is a rapidly appreciating Porsche that is well-worth the
present asking price.
