(Please note: If you happen to be viewing this 1984 Porsche 928 S
on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible
that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due
to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the
more than 150 photographs, as well as a short start-up and
walk-around video, and a link to the 928's accident-and-damage-free
Carfax history report, please go to our main website: Garage Kept
Motors.) Like all Porsches, the 928 began as a challenge: to build
a car that would satisfy Professor Porsche's obsession with
technological leadership. And keep R&D entertained at the same
time. - Porsche 928 period magazine advertisement Here's how the
legendary editor of Car and Driver described the Porsche 928 at its
launch: About once every ten years, some car comes along that
forces the automotive community to re-examine all of its
preconceptions and conventional wisdom. The Porsche 928 is exactly
that kind of automotive phenomenon. It will blow your mind, knock
your socks off, toss your hat in the creek. If some Philistine
should suggest that you could buy a pretty nice mobile home for the
same money, stick your fingers into his nose and rip it off his
face. For ten years or more Motor Trend and Road & Track have been
bilking gullible citizens into purchasing magazines with 'The
All-New Mid-Engine Corvette for 1968-70-75-80-85' (choose one).
When this Porsche hits the street, an all-new mid-engine Corvette
will look at least a day late and a dollar short. Offered here is a
1984 Porsche 928 S in Ruby Red Metallic over tan. The 1984 model
year is the first of only three years that the S model (with its
increased engine displacement and output) was produced. Originally
delivered in Massachusetts with long-term ownership in Arizona,
this beautiful, well-maintained example shows 70,602 miles on its
odometer, roughly just 1,900 miles per-year on average since new.
The car's full list of standard and optional equipment is shown on
its laminated factory window sticker available in the photo
gallery. Extensive $8,000 recent-service records are in the gallery
as well. The original paint on this 928 S retains excellent gloss
and a deep shine across all body panels, including the plastic
composite front and rear bumper (with Porsche identification)
covers. In general, darker colors are thought by enthusiasts to
better showcase the design's curves and subtle cues. Previous owner
care shows in the absence of any dents, dings, or other body
damage, including on the factory aluminum side trim. Another
indication is the absence of discoloration of the black window trim
often seen on cars exposed to the sun over extended periods.
Similarly, front and rear spoilers are undamaged or faded. Lightly
tinted cabin glass is free of damage, including on the beautifully
curved expansive rear hatch. The finish on the factory
power-sunroof is similarly excellent. Bespoke pop-up headlights are
clear and operate properly. Other lighting lenses, including the
lower-front driving and signaling lights, side-marker lights, and
taillights, are likewise undamaged. Factory body trim is all
present and undamaged. Barnum® (now part of Continental®) Bravuris
3HM 215/55 tires are mounted on original-equipment, 16-inch
Gullideckel alloy wheels in factory matte finish, with
Porsche-crest center caps. Inside, tan leather covers not only the
seat, but also door inserts and rear-center armrest (hence Special
Leather option shown on the window sticker). The front buckets in
the 928 were among the most comfortable seats then available on any
car, as befits a luxury autobahn cruiser. The excellent overall
condition of the leather with only expected light creasing is
another indication of owne
