1987 Porsche 928 S4: Gorgeous, 38k Orig. Mile, 2 Owner, Sunroof 928 S4 on 2040-cars
Year:1987
Mileage:38079
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is a beautiful, 38k original mile,
mechanically strong, two owner 1987 Porsche 928 S4, finished is its factory
correct and ceaselessly tasteful Diamond Blue Metallic over Navy Blue leather. Ordered
new by its original owner in Columbus, Ohio, he would own the car for the
ensuing 24 years, always keeping it garaged and maintained and always using it
as a weekend driver. In 2011 he sold the car to an acquaintance, a gentleman
with a large Porsche collection that owned a regional automotive parts
franchise. The second owner had known of the car for years, as he’d sold many
of the parts it needed for routine maintenance. In the two plus years he owned
the car, he rarely put many miles it, and consequently the original 38k miles
showing on the odometer is correct and documentable via Carfax and the car’s
stamped service booklet. When the 928 first hit the showroom floor, it was
absolutely the car to have. As Porsche’s first seriously expensive GT car, the
928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as
soon as they realized it wasn’t built to replace the beloved 911 (just to compliment
it in an enthusiast’s garage), opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, the
928 was far more civilized than the 911, boasting big comfortable seats, power
everything, usually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era
futuristic design elements that a successful 1980’s man could ask for. From
Cannes to Beverly Hills, if you were somebody you would have walked into a dealership
and bought a 928 S4. Whether making a vacation trip from Milan to Monaco or Los
Angeles to San Francisco on business, the 928 was (and arguably still could
be), the car of choice, providing a wonderful drive quality without frustrating
your wife. It’s a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable with a V8 that has
great torque, making smooth, enjoyable driving effortless. Furthermore, in
following with Porsche’s legendary legacy, the handling is great and the looks
are timeless. The Diamond Blue Metallic finish is in excellent
condition, deep, lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of
imperfections, none of which are significant enough to register in the
pictures. The car’s body is entirely straight, free of dings or evidence of
body work, and all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory
correct. The glass and rubber is excellent original shape, as are the original
alloy wheels, wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s
interior is equally as clean, the navy leather seats and carpets showing only
minimal wear. The power sunroof, power seats, power windows, power rear hatch
locking device and all of the other electronics work exactly as they should,
and the car retains its original, functional Blaupunkt Reno radio. For that
matter, everything on the car is stock – it hasn’t been modified in any way. The car is also excellent mechanically, feeling like a
tight, well-maintained, 38k mile example should. Despite its low miles, the car
was always regularly driven and serviced and always garaged and professionally
detailed. It starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to announce its 316hp
5.0L V8. It’s smooth through all of the gears, pulling with incredible force
when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, it’s very easy to look
down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you’re doing 95mph when you
assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it’s a front engine V8,
it’s still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons as well as on the
freeway. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability
to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due
diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid
Fri, Nov 7 2014The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."
