This is my 1984 Porsche 928S 5-speed in great collectible condition. I've had this car for about a year; I've loved it, and now it is time for someone else to enjoy it. I believe this is one of the finest 928S models for sale in the country.
I would not hesitate to drive this car to California and back. This is a reliable, dependable, great-driving car with no known mechanical problems.
The 928 is one of my all-time favorite Porsches. This car was the pinnacle of design and technology that Porsche could acheive at the time. The 928 was meant to replace the 911 and as a matter of fact, a 1984 928S beats a 1984 911 in every category, including horsepower, torque, acceleration, handling and braking. Not to mention that the 928 is far more comfortable and luxurious than a 911. The problem with the 928 was price. It was something like $20,000 MORE expensive than a 911, and sales suffered for it. Subsequent owners often failed to properly maintain these cars, and it is all too common to find horribly neglected and dilapidated 928s that require more work than they are worth. Stay away from those cars- my car is NOT one of them! This is a clean, original, well-kept, great-driving 928S that runs, drives and performs beautifully.
I bought this car for the rare 5-speed manual transmission more than anything else. Only about 15% of all 928s were made with the manual transmission- the majority were automatics. The problem with the automatic in my mind, is that in addition to being much less fun, it starts in second gear, meaning that the automatics were very slow off the line and functioned basically like a 3-speed. The 5-speed manual, like in this car, is the only way to go if you're looking for an enthusiast's car.
This was the second model year for the higher-horsepower "S" model, and you can really tell the difference between the earlier 1978-1982 models and this car.
In the last few years the 928 has begun to get the respect that it deserves, and values have continued to climb and show no sign of stopping. You could easily buy this car now, keep it for a few years, then sell it for a profit.
This car has the following equipment and options:
- 4.7L all-aluminum V8 engine
- 5-speed manual transmission
- leather seats
- power driver's seat
- power locks and windows
- cruise control
- tilt wheel
- automatic climate control with A/C
This car has 17" wheels from a Porsche Boxster with good tires. This change really updates the look of the car, in my opinion. It makes the car look totally modern. I took someone for a ride last week and they could not guess how old this Porsche was. They were shocked when I said it was almost 30 years old!
This car starts, runs and drives great. The V8 rumble is outstanding and will make your hair stand up. I just replaced the transmission with a warranted unit (the synchros had begun to go bad) for a cost of $2500. The transmission shifts great, and goes in and out of all gears, up and down, with no trouble. The clutch is tight and the brakes are good. The suspension is tight and stable, and this car feels right at home taking an entrance ramp curve at 80 mph. This car is tight, stable, solid and drives VERY WELL. There are no noted fluid leaks.
Included are the previous owners' receipts, paperwork and registrations. There is a note indicating that the timing belt and water pump were replaced at 108,380 miles. If you're a 928 enthusiast you know how important that is.
This car has what appears to be all-original paint. The paint is in very good condition for being 29 years old, and looks good. The body is straight and clean with no major flaws, dents or dings. Of course the car is mostly aluminum, but still there is no noted body panel rust. This car looks beautiful, clean and original; not messed-around-with.
The interior is original. The leather seats are often a weak spot for these cars, and these seats have held up rather well, considering. They are still in very presentable condition, not cracked, shredded or falling apart like you see so often. The driver's outside seat bolster is worn thru a bit, and the seats do show their appropriate age, but otherwise the leather is all intact and in decent shape. The cost to reupholster these 928 seats is about $2000, so be sure to buy a car with decent seats like mine, or be prepared to pay plenty. The shift knob and shift boot are brand new.
Keep in mind this is a nearly 30 year old car and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Both headlights come up properly and work fine. The HVAC temp controls and blower motor work fine, but the A/C doesn't blow cold and I haven't looked into it. The entire A/C system is intact, so there is no reason it couldn't be made to work if someone wanted. Both driver and passenger windows work properly. The cruise does not appear to work.
This is probably one of the best 928S cars for sale in the country. This is a clean, original, great-driving car that will be tons of fun for the new owner, not to mention a greatly appreciating investment.
This car is kept in my heated warehouse in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped, I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.
This is a no reserve listing, but I have a number in my head that might buy the car now. Email/call me to discuss this possibility.
If you have questions, please email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341.

Porsche GT division rules out AWD, SUVs
Fri, Mar 13 2015Any German automaker worth its lap times needs a performance division. Mercedes has AMG, BMW has the M division, Audi has Quattro GmbH with its S and RS models... even Volkswagen has its R line of hot hatches. And though Porsche is a performance automaker unto itself, even it has a performance division. It's called Porsche GT, and though it's been branching outside the 911 range lately, don't expect it to wander too far. According to Car and Driver, which spoke recently with Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger and R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz, there are limits to what the division will do. And while those limits may have been broadened to include technologies like turbocharging and dual-clutch transmissions, they won't stretch as far as all-wheel drive. Take a look at the previous-generation 997 and what separated the 911 GT2 from the 911 Turbo was principally its all-wheel-drive system. Porsche GT isn't planning on doing a GT2 this time around – the new GT3 RS occupying that territory on its own – but the next generation (whether it wears the number 2 or 3) will likely go turbo along with most of the rest of the 911 family. The exclusion of all-wheel drive from the Porsche GT parts bin also means that the division won't be taking on the company's SUVs like the Cayenne and Macan. So the Cayenne GTS will be as extreme as it gets, taking on the likes of the BMW X5 M, Mercedes GL63 and Audi SQ5 without the help of Zuffenhausen's racing department. We can't expect the PDK to stick around though, so to speak. Though the new Cayman GT4 packs a manual transmission, the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS have dual-clutch gearboxes. Moving forward, Preuninger says they'll leave it up to prospective customers to decide which type of transmission they'll build into their most extreme performance models.
2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver
Wed, Feb 13 2019Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
