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 becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel
Fri, 17 Oct 2014We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
Chris Harris hits the track with the Porsche Cayman GT4
Wed, Mar 11 2015The Porsche Cayman GT4 offers the first legitimate chance for Porsche's more compact coupe to really step out of the long shadow of its brother the 911. By placing the 385-horsepower Carrera S engine into the center of a Cayman and sweetening the package with a ton of truly high performance parts, the model can now really show off. The ever-enthusiastic Chris Harris puts on quite a display behind the wheel of the German brand's latest hardcore creation. As is his wont, Harris slides the GT4 all over the Portimao circuit with little wisps of smoke wafting up from its rear Michelin tires. However, what he gets really excited about is Porsche's decision to fit a real manual gearbox, rather than the PDKs rapidly taking over the company's highest performance vehicles. For anyone who loves seeing a sports car's oily bits, stay tuned all the way through because after hooning around for awhile, Harris puts the model up on a lift to find out what's so special. Porsche touts the GT4's 911 GT3-derivied front suspension, but this really shows just how many mechanical adjustments it offers the demanding driver. Related Video:
Porsche Cayman gets a new face
Fri, 12 Sep 2014We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
