Exterior: This Porsche 928 boasts the timeless and unmistakable design that made it an instant classic. While it's a head-turner on the road, it does need some cosmetic work to bring it back to its full glory. The exterior was repainted under previous ownership and there are a few chips and scratches, but with some TLC, it can be restored to its former splendor. The body is straight, and the wheels have been upgraded to Porsche cup wheels which provide a wider more aggressive look and performance in the rear.

Interior: The interior of this 1979 Porsche 928 features the driver-focused cockpit design that Porsche enthusiasts adore. The current seats are replacements from another 928 and are in decent condition. The originals, which come with the car, could benefit from some reupholstering. The dashboard is in decent shape, but some cracks are present. The analog gauges are a testament to the era in which this car was born, and the original Porsche steering wheel adds a touch of nostalgia.

Mechanical: This Porsche 928 is equipped with a manual transmission, a true driver's choice for a sports car like this. The 4.5L engine starts up and runs well. Car has recently gone on multiple 1-2 hour road trips. Maintenance history is included with the car. $6000 in transmission repairs were completed in 2022 including linkage repair, new transmission plate and other routine maintenance. Shifts like new since the repairs.

Needs: Has a slight oil leak probably from the oil pan. Could use a gasket replacement. AC does not work. Pop up light motor currently only works by hand. Power Steering rack needs a rebuild.

Ownership History: The current owner has had this Porsche 928 as part of their collection and enjoyed primarily as a weekend driver. Prior ownership was in California and after some time not being driven in the early 2000's, 10-15 years ago it was put back on the road with all needed repairs at the time. It's time for someone with a passion for Porsches to take over and restore it to its full potential or just enjoy a fun drivable classic.
