1984 Porsche 928

1987 Porsche 928 S Coupe Gracing our Hallowed Halls here at Classic Auto Mall is this 80s dream car, the Porsche 928 from 1984 showing a non verifiable 65,322 miles on the odometer. Owned by our consignor for the last 12 years and coming with service paperwork dating back to the original owner, this car has very nice paint, an original interior, and all the bells and whistles. Ok, so whos the German U-boat pilot?? Exterior Stunning and menacing deep end of the pool black paint drapes the straight rust free steel and aluminum rounded panels for this sports car. Flipping over rounded headlights which are fascinating to watch come to life with the flick of the switch, and appear to be floating on top when open. Low, low drag coefficient had this model car pegged at the fastest normally aspirated car clocking in at over 146 MPH in 1984. The floor pans, roof, and rear quarters are galvanized steel, and totally rust resistant. Integrated bumpers all around, all body matching and rounded inset taillights complete the aero package. Slotted 16-inch flat fronted wheels help with the drag as well. Interior Certainly not perfect, but original and tear free as well as fairly clean. High backed infinitely power adjustable tan leather buckets with a high sleek back reminiscent of the 911s are up front and a 2 plus 2 setup is in back sporting a center storage console and armrest. This houses the power window and sunroof toggles and the shift lever with a black leather boot. Way back is a storage area accessible from the rear lift gate. The dash contains all the essentials, and the central console maintains enough buttons to satisfy even the most discriminating 747 pilot. Tan carpet floods the floors and is looking nice and clean underneath the protective carpeted mats. A sunroof is noted in the smooth black vinyl headliner. Drivetrain A 4.7 liter V8 fed by electronic fuel injection gives this light 50/50 weight distribution car the green light. The 5-speed manual gearbox is on back for that weight distribution, along with the famed Weissach axle. Its purpose is to increase the amount of cornering grip and stability by eliminating the toe-out tendency caused by mid-corner throttle lifts. This translates into incredible mid-corner composure and grip and with that 50/50 weight distribution, make it not just fast in a straight line but in the corners as well. The Weissach axle is one of the earliest passive rear-wheel steering setups and a precursor to active rear-wheel and even four-wheel steering systems. Undercarriage Rust free, leak free, and looking garaged and covered in a nice patina that comes with maturity on any car. Just fine and structurally sound underneath. Plenty of ground effects panels the German engineers were famous for, and front and rear wheel disc brakes extra-large for plenty of woah when you need it. Drive-Ability Slipping inside this car fired right up, and off we went to the test track. Here it handled very nicely, had tight steering, and straight bias free panic stopping. This car will keep you on the edge of your seat due to its perfect balance... well more like your butt at the back of the seat! Porsche, there is no substitute! . We noted a few frowns during our drive. Those being the AC not blowing cold, the rear wiper not wiping, the odometer and trip meter being non functional, as well as the fuel gauge not tracking the fuel level. This car has newer tires, a fuel pump in 2023, and new shifter bushings in 2024 and has tons of service records dating back to the mid 1980s all available for your perusal. A rounded look, and a star of the 1980s where the rich and famous women would shuttle their kids to the Academy.
