1986 Porsche 928S � ... one of the greatest and most overlooked GT
cars of all time. �€"Mike Musto, Hagerty � A word about that most
overlooked bit: Over the past 24 months, Porsche 928 values have
definitely been on the rise. Now it seems the only cheap cars out
there are ones with significant maintenance needs, very high miles,
too much evidence of wear or misuse... or all of these. Happily for
its next owner, the 928S offered here suffers from none of those
shortcomings. So, if you listen to the age-old Porsche advice: Buy
the best one you can afford, this just may be your next grand
tourer. � For many in the Porsche community, best one often
translates to a car with unique characteristics, so a close look at
a car's provenance is worthwhile. In this example, we are confident
the car was special-ordered through Metropolitan Motor Cars
(Porsche dealer #1432) and delivered on July 29,1986 to the
dealership in Marlow Heights, Maryland. The car's option list
(codes are shown below) is unique. Included are sports seats in
front (both with electrical height adjustment), sport shock
absorbers, added engine cooling (for warm climates), rear-seat air
conditioning, 16-inch flat-dish alloy wheels, and upgraded
raised-hub steering wheel. The four-speed automatic transmission in
combination with the sport-oriented options suggests the car was
ordered with true grand-touring use in mind.� � The car's Silver
Metallic paint-code L936 from the under-hood paper VIN
sticker-retains an even gloss overall, including on the lower
valances.��If the car has been repainted, the work was extremely
well done. Front and rear spoilers are crack- and
dent-free.�Inside, the deep burgundy leather interior-also a rare
optional selection-- makes for a perfect complement to the exterior
color. It, too, shows no signs of neglect or abuse. � The other
definition of best one relates to maintenance history, and overall
condition. As to the former, Carfax records show extensive recent
(2016) service to the car including the important timing belt
replacement. Other systems attended to included the air
conditioning, automatic transmission, electrical system, wheel
bearings, engine belts and more. Overall, the car displays
exceptional condition. Exterior paint, engine bay, undercarriage,
wheels and tires all show evidence of owner attention to detail.
The 5-liter V8 is a work of automotive art, and attention to its
upkeep is evident. VIN stickers and other factory decals are in
place and unaltered. Inside the car, some patina is evident on the
steering wheel and seats, but it's consistent with loving use over
the car's 33-year life. This 928S was clearly never abused or left
to the whims of a careless owner. More than 150 photographs are
witness to the car's condition. At under 2,000 miles-per-year since
new, this 928S definitely qualifies as garage kept. � The next
owner of this fine automobile will have the pleasant task of having
to decide whether to enjoy it in a collection, or enjoy it on the
road.� � The beauty of the car is that Both is perfectly a
reasonable answer. � Option codes: CC2 �€" Unkn factory code P36
