Up for sale is a 1980 Porsche 928 coupe. For starters in a markefull of 928 project cars this car is the polar opposite. It is an outstanding example of what made these cars so popular over the years and is worthy to be parked in any porsche enthusiasts collection. For starters we have a stack of receipts that go back over 20 years and even have the original window sticker and owners manual.
The he original upgraded factory options on this car include: limited slip differential, heated outside mirror right side, porsche cr stereo radio, 16 inch alloy wheels, power seat left side and power seat right side. This car cost $41,755 in 1980!!
The exterior is finished in it's original color of light blue metallic and complimented wih a navy blue leather interior. The exterior and interior are both totally stock right down to it's original phone dial wheels and blaupunkt stereo system. The exterior has been reprinted at point in the past and it shows very well. The interior seems all original and still in excellent condition. The speedometer quit around 72,000 miles and a new one was installed with 0 miles on it. it now shows just under 1000 miles on it so the total mileage on the actual car is around 73,000.
The drivetrain is the focal point of what makes this car so special and we have all the receipts to document it. First it had a brand new factory Porsche 5.0 motor installed known as a short motor (part#
928 100 911 00). Today's price on that motor is $12,500. It has European heads with larger ports and has larger intake and exhaust valves. It also has euro cams with much higher lift on both the intake and exhaust side. It has a 10:1 compression ratio which is premium unleaded friendly. It also had a new water pump, timing belts and clutch installed at the same time. This motor is strong and pulls hard. It is a solid 100 plus horsepower stronger then the stock 220 horsepower it originally came with. The transmission was also rebuilt in the past and currently shifts great into all gears. It not only runs great but sounds amazing. It has a very healthy V8 rumble and sounds like a true European muscle car that it is.
We just serviced this car and everything we could find and check on the car works well including the ice cold air conditioning. Porsche 928's rarely come around in this condition, yet alone an earlier first generation example. Do not snooze on this car as it will sell fast and be in someone else's garage and not yours.
