& Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1978 Porsche 928!
This is a car we're very excited about. It's not very often you
come across a first-year 928. With the bulbous, spoiler-free rear
end, dogleg five speed manual transmission, sunroof-delete, and
excellent silver over pinstripe color combo, this is certainly a
special car. We love the bullet-like shape of these early cars,
it's a very clean and sleek design. The car gets attention
everywhere it goes, whether that be from enthusiasts who recognize
it as an early Euro, or bystanders who are struck by the car's
unique shape. Exterior: The car wears a respray of it's original Z2
Silber Metallic. The finish is nice, but isn't without a few
imperfections. Blemishes include a light scuff on the front lower
driver door crease, a couple touched-up small scratches on the
driver door, a mark on the rear bumper from where the previous
owner had stuck a Porsche crest sticker, and a bit of a rash around
the key holes on the doors and at the top corner of the passenger
side tail light. Rubber window trim isn't in great shape, and the
rear quarter window trim shows some fading. Of course, as you can
see in the photos, there are plenty of good things going for the
car as well. It's a non-sunroof car, which we really like. It adds
to the clean, uninterrupted lines of the car. Aside from the
aforementioned blemishes, the silver paint shows very, very well.
Rock chipping is really only present on the black trim around the
windshield. Original Phone Dial wheels are in nice shape, with no
curb rash and just some slight weathering. The body is in excellent
shape, with no dents or dings. This car retains its original
singular side mirror look, which only adds to the bullet-like shape
of the car. Black front spoiler is in excellent shape, with no
cracks or damage. Interior: Pinstripe interior is a beautiful
thing, and looks great against the silver exterior. Seats are in
very nice condition, with just a couple small tears on the upper
outside bolster of the driver's seat. Pinstripe centers on the
front seats are in great shape, but do show a bit of age by way of
a very slight green hue. Rear seats and door panels are excellent.
Rear seats fold down in these early cars, opening up space for a
massive cargo carrying capacity. Original Blaupunkt stereo is in
place, though not currently functional. Heat and front and rear
defrost are functional, air conditioning blows but is not cold.
Front and rear wipers work, as do all lights (inside and out) and
signals. Power windows are functional, though the button has to be
pushed down with some force. Dash is in very nice shape; there's a
crack at the top right corner of the glovebox, but the forward-most
portion of the dash is free of any cracks. There are a lot of cool
features to the interior of these cars; the whole gauge cluster
moves up and down, not just the steering wheel, and the door panels
have a very clever fold-out storage area. All gauges are
functional. The car will come with a set of 928S floor mats, though
not original to the car. The sill plate on the driver's side has
been colored in gold, while the passenger side sill plate remains
the correct silver. Under the Car/Hood: The underbody is in very
nice condition, with no through rot. Rust is limited to surface
rust at the corner of the battery tray, nothing of concern. Floors
and rockers are in excellent shape. The car retains its original
4.5L V8 and 5spd manual transmission, with just over 67,000 miles.
The car runs and drives quite well, with just a couple tendencies
to be aware of. On a cold start, the car needs to idle for about 30
seconds before you can rev it out wit
