This is an original and well preserved 1984 Porsche 928 S with the
rare and very desirable 5-speed manual transmission! In its
original beautiful shade of Ruby Red Metallic (L810/X7) and
eye-catching chrome wheels, this 928 still shows well today. This
car is owned by Classic Promenade and has been under our care for
the last 4 months. This Porsche was delivered new in Massachusetts,
but has spent much time in California, Arkansas, Missouri and
Kentucky, where we found it. We were drawn to the car for it's
originality and overall very well preserved condition. The service
records dating back to 2017, a rust free body and undercarriage, a
clean CARFAX, and its original gorgeous tan leather interior in
excellent condition were among several of the things we love about
this car. Be sure to see list of recent service work in bottom of
description. Paint meter readings indicate to us that this car was
likely repainted at some time. This 928 still shows beautifully and
runs very nicely. The Ruby Red Metallic has wonderful shine and
luster, but is not without some minor fine scratches as shown in
the inspection report. The depth of the paint is rather amazing.
The small imperfections are from the limited use over the years,
along the edges of the doors, hood and lower bumpers. Today this
928 would perform well at local and regional car shows and touring
events. The chrome wheels really pop out next to the dark red paint
and compliment the look of this Porsche. The previous owner
informed us that the car originally had factory silver painted
wheels which were chrome plated before he acquired it. We really
like the look of the S4 spoiler over the rear deckled, and the
popup headlights are "quirky" to say the least! The interior is
believed to be original. The very attractive Grey Beige Leather
(6FL) and matching carpeting are both in very good to excellent
condition, and come complete with power operated front seats. The
condition of the leather in the front seats is stunning and the
rear seats suggest they have rarely, if ever, been sat in. The
power operated sunroof is unusually small, and though the switch
gear and motor work, it will only open about one inch. It was also
noted that the cigarette lighter does function as a powerpoint, but
that the heating element itself does not work. The dashboard is
free of cracks, but there is some very mild warping around one of
the defroster vents. Overall the interior is good. It does show
it's age in certain places, but the overall appearance is
presentable. The engine compartment is another unique and
noteworthy element of this car. Porsche enthusiasts will already
know that the 928 marks the first production V8 engine ever to come
out of Weissach. The 4.7 liter V8 produces 234 hp, which provides
for a smooth and effortless driving experience. Our test drive
impressions were overall very good. Steering, brakes, clutch and
throttle all feel very good. The transmission engages well, though
the shifter itself feels somewhat sloppy. Nonetheless, it's
apparent that this car is in good running condition, has been well
cared for, and that the 86K miles are original. Overall this is a
solid driving, good quality Porsche which could benefit from some
minor work to make it really excellent. For full details on the
condition of this 928, please see the attached Inspection Report.
The Hagerty Price Guide reflects a No. 3 value of $19,500 and a No.
2 value of $35,000. We believe this to be close to No. 2-
condition. This Porsche is available for inspection at our Phoenix
showroom. For details and information, please text, call or email
