Vehicle Description 1987 S4, runs and drives, vehicle needs cosmetics and upgrades. Interior is showing it's 24 years ! drive train works well but tune upgrades would be a plus. This vehicle is priced well below market for what it is, this is my 13th 928 since I started enjoying the model. I need the space in the garage so it's going for a real sweet $. Doubt you would find anything similar for 5900$ Not going to go through a barrage of questions that one would ask on a unit of say 10,000 or more $$$ If your looking for a toy to fix up with minimum investment this is the one, if your looking for concourse diamond then I suggest searching in the champagne price range. Vehicle has Turbo Twist wheels. Spent it's life in Miami and South Fla. Same model as used in movies Scarface, Risky Business etc // Shipping source available for USA shipping at great rates. link to new carpet sets http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Polyester-Full-Carpet-Set-Porsche-928-Automobiles-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a1dcf933QQitemZ290478422323QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories The Porsche 928 was a sports-GT car sold by Porsche AG of Germany from 1978 to 1995. Originally intended to replace the company's iconic 911, the 928 attempted to combine the power, poise, and handling of a sports car with the refinement, comfort, and equipment of a luxury sedan to create what some Porsche executives thought would be a vehicle with wider appeal than the compact, quirky and sometimes difficult 911. Since its inception in 1949, Porsche has manufactured only six front-engined models, four of which were coupes, including the 928. The car has the distinction of being the company's only coupe powered by a front-mounted V8 engine, and the company's first mass-produced V8 powered model. During 1983 the 928S was the fastest car sold in North America, with a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h). Incidentally, its appearance in the 1983 film Risky Business attempted to capitalize on this fact. 1987 Model designation: 928 S4 Weight: 3500 lb/1590 kg Engine displacement: 5.0 L Valves: 32 Power: 316 hp/320 PS (236 kW) North America and ROW / 300 PS/296 hp (221 kW) Australia Changes: Different style pistons, cylinder heads, camshafts, intake and larger intake valves compared to earlier 5.0 L engines.

Although it weighed more than the difficult-to-handle 911, its more neutral weight balance and higher power output gave it similar performance on the track. The 928 was regarded as the more relaxing car to drive at the time. It came with either a five-speed dog leg manual transmission, or a Mercedes-Benz-derived automatic transmission, originally with three speeds, with four speed from 1983 in North America and 1984 in other markets. More than half of production had the automatic transmission. Exact percentage of manual gearbox cars for entire production run is not known but its believed to be between 25 and 30%. The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under guidance of Anatole Lapine, was mainly galvanized steel, but the doors, front fenders, hood, and roof were aluminum in order to make the car more lightweight. It had a substantial luggage area accessed via a large hatchback. The new polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic; an unusual feature for the time that aided the car visually and reduced its drag. Porsche opted not to offer a convertible variant but some aftermarket modifiers offer convertible conversions. The 928 qualified as a 2+2, having two small seats in the rear. Both rear seats could be folded down to enlarge the luggage area, and both the front and rear seats had sun visors for occupants. The 928 was also the first vehicle in which the instrument cluster moved along with the adjustable steering wheel in order to maintain maximum instrument visibility.
