Vehicle Description
An affordable survivor exotic that's built for grand touring
comfort. Yes, this 1986 Porsche 928S is the perfect car to take on
a weekend adventures, and it's so original (right down to the V8),
that you might go hunting for far off car shows to fully enjoy this
beauty.
The 928 has aged gracefully as it has become a classic in its own
right. Smooth and purposeful, it still generates a ton of attention
out on the road, and despite its modest asking price, folks will
still think you won the lottery if you park it in your garage. The
sheetmetal has been well cared for over the last 30+ years, and so
the coupe retains its distinctive shape that was on so many bedroom
walls growing up. As you get closer, it becomes apparent that blue
paint is likely factory original, which is the kind of item that
people love to see these days. And originality on these cars still
comes with plenty of desirability. The 928 was Porsche's most
expensive model by a wide margin in 1986, and you received
exceptional build quality for your house-sized sticker price. Fit
and finish are exemplary, so you can shut the doors with confidence
every time. The later S model offered a larger rear wing, updated
factory alloys, and of course, continued those instantly
recognizable retracting headlights.
Typical Porsche focus on the driver dominates the interior, with
comfortable blue leather buckets and a perfect driving position. In
fact, all four seats are buckets to provide the best individual
comfort in supple leather. The carpets, door panels, and dash are
all in coordinating blue hues. As a true grand touring Porsche,
this comes loaded with features like power windows, power seats,
cruise control, an upgraded Kenwood AM/FM/cassette stereo, and
provisions for air conditioning. You'll love sitting behind the
newer three-spoke wheel and watching the full gauge pack do its
dance and you dig into the deep tones of the motor.
Under the hood is the original 5.0-liter V8. This motor had more
displacement than many previous years, and it pumped out a very
respectable 288 horsepower. The overhead cam V8 provides the best
of both worlds as it has muscle car-like low-end torque, yet
shrieks to redline like an exotic when you prod of the accelerator.
The exhaust note is truly a symphony for the ears that you control
all with your right foot. The transxale setup makes for a
wonderfully balanced feeling on the road, and that's exactly where
this car belongs. It has so many great driving features, including
a fully independent sports suspension, performance-mined four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and four-wheel
disc brakes.
The market is catching up to the 928, but there's still time to get
into a survivor like this one. For a short period, the Porsche
mystique and performance is within reach for those of us with
modest budgets. Call today!!!
