UP FOR SALE IS A 1981 PORSCHE 928. IT IS FINSIHED IN IT'S ORIGINAL COLORS OF A WHITE EXTERIOR COMPLIMENTED WITH A CHOCOLATE BROWN LEATHER INTERIOR.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN A LARGE PACKAGE OF CARS FROM A VERY GOOD CUSTOMER WITH A 200 CAR COLLECTION. IT WAS PURCHASED ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO ON A WHIM AND PARKED IN THE BACK OF HIS WAREHOUSE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR IT WAS NOT RUNNING. AFTER CLEANING THE INJECTORS, PUTTING FRESH FUEL IN IT AND A NEW BATTERY, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT NOT ONLY STARTED RIGHT UP BUT RUNS FANTASTIC.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PAST HISTORY ON THE CAR AT ALL ASIDE FROM WHAT WE DID TO GET IT RUNNING SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK WHEN THE TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED. IT HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AND A CLEAR TITLE. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS 77,000 AND CARFAX VERIFES THE ODOMETER READINGS BACK TO 1987 AND ARE CONSISTANT. FOR SOME REASON THE ODOMETER READS 677,000 MILES.
EVERYTHING ON THE CAR SEEMS TO OPERATE FINE INCLUDING ALL THE LIGHTS, WINDOWS, SUNROOF, STEREO AND SEATS. THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATES AS WELL BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT BLOW COLD AND PROBABLY WILL AFTER A RECHARGE.
THE CAR LOOKS OUTSTANDING FROM 5 FEET AWAY BUT HAS SEVERAL SMALL SCRAPES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BODY FROM STUFF GETTING TOO CLOSE TO IT WHILE IT WAS IN STORAGE. IT HAS A FACTORY FRONT SPOILER BUT IS BROKEN OFF ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT END. IT HAS 18 INCH STAGGERED LATER MODEL PORSCHE REPLICA WHEELS ON IT WITH PAINTED CENTER CAPS AND BASICALLY BRAND NEW TIRES FRONT AND REAR.
THE INTERIOR IS COMPLETE AND SHOWS SOME WEAR ON THE SEATS. THEY ARE NOT TORE UP LIKE MOST OF THESE OLDER 928'S AND THE PICTURES SHOW THE CAR AS IT LOOKS IN PERSON ACCURATLEY. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH IS FOR LOW WASHER FLUID AND PROBABLY HAS A BAD SENSOR.
MECHAINCALLY IT SOUNDS GREAT AND STARTS RIGHT UP. IT RUNS AND DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD SURPRISINGLY WELL AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO EVERY GEAR WELL. I AM NOT SAYING FLY IN AND DRIVE IT 1,000 MILES HOME, BUT WITH SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE, THIS SHOULD BE A VERY RELIABLE CAR AND REALLY IS NOT A PROJECT CAR. WE HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL KEYS WITH IT, THE TOOL KIT AND SPARE TIRE ARE INTACT AS WELL.
PLEASE REALIZE THIS IS A 33 YEAR OLD PORSCHE AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITH IT. IT IS NOT A NEW HONDA SO DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE AS RELIABLE AS ONE. IT IS A FAIRLY CLEAN, CHEAP EXAMPLE OF A DESIRABLE OLD PORSCHE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE MAINTENANCE THESE CARS REQUIRE THEN YOU PROBABLY NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON THEM. WITH THAT BEING SAID THERE ARE MANY PROJECT 928'S OUT THERE THAT EITHER BARELY RUN OR DON'T RUN. STEER CLEAR FROM THOSE IS LESSON NUMBER 1, DON'T LET SOMEONE ELSE'S NIGHTMARE BECOME YOURS!!!
