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. |

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

Good Samaritan pulls key from hit-and-run driver
Mon, Feb 15 2016A man in England stopped a hit-and-run driver from fleeing the scene by grabbing her keys from the ignition. On February 13, Michael Scott witnessed a crash on a busy road in Birmingham, England according to the Telegraph. He watched as a Vauxhall Astra crashed into a Porsche right in front of his vehicle. At first, it seemed like the offending driver was going to stop, but she just kept going. Luckily, Scott had his dashboard camera rolling at the time. "I was shocked when the Astra driver didn't stop, and just carried on accelerating up the road," Scott told the Telegraph. "I thought the driver was trying to do a runner, so when the car in front of me moved off I managed to speed up and block the Astra in. Scott rushed ahead of traffic to cut off the Vauxhall in a turn lane a few hundred feet from where the crash originally occurred. The running driver then maneuvered around Scott, but was blocked by another car from making a clean getaway. Scott then nabbed the driver's keys to keep her from fleeing again. "I was in a rush so I couldn't stop, but I gave her keys to the Porsche driver and left," Scott told the Telegraph. "I contacted the police to let them know I had footage of the incident too." When police arrived they found both drivers were unhurt, though the Porsche will probably need some expensive repairs. The fleeing driver was charged with drinking and driving and is currently out on bail.
