Slideshow Maker Low mileage 928s - Excellent Investment Opportunity! Up for sale is our latest project car, a 1984 Porsche 928 S. We found this car a few years ago sitting in a storage room in Pennsylvania. The owner put it there in 2000 with the intention of one day restoring it. After failing to start it (not knowing anything about 928 he sold it us. The car had at least a quarter inch layer of dust and dirt, and the interior was completely destroyed - which is typical for most non-maintained 928s. We brought the car home and immediately went to work on the interior and the drivetrain - the results you see in the pictures and videos below. No expense was spared in restoring the drivetrain and interior to working order. We are moving on to another project and are letting her go, but our loss is your gain: The Good Clean title, clean Carfax car, mileage records kept accurately. No accidents. only minor scuffs. See CarFax Mechanical hundreds of hours were spent on making sure the car runs the right way - the mechanics in the car was our top priority. 1 All of the 928 grounds were sorted and cleaned - including the main battery ground, which was replaced with an aftermarket, heavy duty braid.

The Bad The front bumper, hood, and sunroof need to be resprayed. We keep the car waxed and clean at all times, but the previous owner did not. The sunroof was starting to show rust, so we sanded it down and put anti-rust around the edges - see pictures. The overall exterior of the car shows wear and tear. The front left fender has dent - see PCA sticker. The front right fender is slightly bent, so we placed a GoPro mount to conceal it. The air-conditioning does not work - we changed air compressor, but did not finish charging. The oil sender needs to be replaced or contact issue with two wire pig tail connecting to the sender. Why is this 928 so expensive? Hagerty, the classic car insurer currently places the average value of 1984 Porsche 928s at $11,400 for "Good" condition vehicles and $19,800 for "Excellent" rated vehicles. We think that because of the extensive drive-train and interior work, this car falls somewhere in the middle of this range. Prices for early 928s on eBay are spread wide, some even asking above $19,000. We think you won't find a car where this much detail went into making the car a great daily driver - and we don't think you will find a seller with this much knowledge and care that went into maintaining the 928s drive train.

On Mar-25-16 at 09:49:28 PDT, seller added the following information: People asking me "...how much did it relay cost you to make this car run well?". The honest answer is $15,000 in parts and labor, not including the interior. I will lose money on this sale. I had a great time and I need to move on. 928 and 944 are money pits. When buying 928 do not assume you will be able to restore the drive-train. Changing "bolted" components does not require an expert. Make it run "Right" does. "It is not your father's Oldsmobile". I do not believe in reliability of 30 year old car without removing the original gaskets and rubber. Case in point; All 928 radiators have plastic sides crimped on to a metal cooler-grill. If you are convinced 30 years old plastic, under the temperature and pressure does not deteriorate, then we have nothing to discuss. The gasket change is required to the rest of this car's "top collection" of paper gaskets, especially the water bridge between two heads and the rear gaskets of the cam towers. 928 are known to leak everything like a sieve. The vehicle we offer have all these components restored or replaced with new. When buying 928S do not be fooled by a statement "It runs great!". Ask questions, if not, it will hit you in your pocket later.On Mar-25-16 at 10:13:09 PDT, seller added the following information: Another question posted. “What is the purpose of anodizing fuel rails?” I did this for two reasons; Number one. This finish is an original finish for all 928 fuel rails. It is why components like, fuel damper and fuel regulators, have similar finish. Number two, my 928 developed scaly rust on the fuel rail return lines under the air box. The reason for the rust was water-dripping condensation from the AC lines above on the firewall. Many 928 are plagued with this problem.On Mar-25-16 at 10:58:47 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi “ You did not mentioned anything about a clutch and transmission” Yes. My apology. This action is becoming a “literary art trials” for me. I like to spend more time with screwdrivers and bolts. Ok. I have the whole pile of original receipts. According to the records, the clutch was replaced shortly before the car was abandoned. I did examined the clutch disk and found it to be good with no scarring or popping rivets. What I did however is I bled the clutch cylinder together with all break lines. This transmission works “928-S well”. What does it mean? 928 S models with manual transmissions had problems due to the faulty synchro design. In later years Porsche revised the design and even changed the supplier. You can read all about it if “Googled”. Previous owner did changed synchronizers on 1st and 2nd. However, it was done years ago with most likely the same shitty synchro’s because it does not slide sometimes without an effort. It does not grind or kick, it just needs to “click in to a gear” between 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It is not a problem. It becomes less annoying when you adapt a different, more patient shifting habit. Other words, when shifting you need to wait a second for the gate to let you “in”. Then it is smooth shifting all across. As you get used to it, it becomes less effortless.On Mar-25-16 at 11:13:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Why this car was abandoned? Yes, there was a reason. I know the whole story. Unfortunately it is not for a public forum. Nothing sinister. Whoever buys this car will know it all.
