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
when needed and this car benefits from never sitting for too long -
it has been in road-trip ready condition for its entire life. For
example, Newport Beach Porsche replaced all motor mounts and
rebuilt the front suspension after some sagging and poor handling
was noticed. More recent major service work included timing belt
and water pump replacements five years ago (less than 500 miles
since) at DeVito's.
After this car was purchased by European Collectibles, we performed
the following service work:
-Replaced all Brake Rotors
-Replaced all Brake Pads
-Replaced all Brake Sensors
-Bled Brake System
-Purchased and Installed New Michelin Pilot Sport Tires
-Purchased and Installed Complete Clutch Kit
-Purchased and Installed New Clutch Guide and Release Arm
-Passed California Smog Testing with Flying Colors
Total Cost, About $5,000
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 notable
dents. The panel gaps are to factory specs. The Silver Metallic
paintwork shines nicely and is free of any major scratches.
Understandably, the hood has some stone chips, but the light color
helps to conceal them. Where this car really shines 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. They are very 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 a correct offset that allows to the tires to fit
perfectly under the fenders and a roof-mounted antenna (that became
standard on later 928 models), was installed. All interior lights,
gauges, power mirrors, rear trunk releases, etc are all working
just fine. 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.
