Always garaged, always professionally maintained and always driven sparingly, the car’s original 42k miles are documentable through a thick stack of service records, the original service booklet and a completely clean Carfax report. Never in any accidents, the Guards Red finish is entirely original, which is a statement that applies to the rest of the car as well (with the exception of an updated sound system, however an original Porsche factory unit is included in the sale). While all 928 S4s came well appointed, per the car’s original window sticker, this example was also optioned with an automatic transmission, all leather seats, limited slip differential, body side moldings, increased AC, an electric sunroof and a radio with CD player, bringing the car’s total original sticker price to a pricey $77,513 (nearly $150k in today’s dollars, if adjusting for inflation). As Porsche’s first seriously powerful 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 - rather 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. Whether in Cannes or 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 that won’t frustrate 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 Guards Red finish is in truly excellent original 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 any evidence of bodywork, and all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory correct. The glass and rubber are in excellent original shape, as are the dealer installed chrome wheels (with colored crest center caps), wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s interior is equally impeccable, the black leather seats and carpets showing only nominal 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 while the car’s sound system has been updated with a stellar more modern unit, the car retains a Porsche factory unit. As mentioned above, everything else on the car is stock – it hasn’t been modified in any way. The car retains its inflatable spare, air compressor, complete original tool kit and original manual, service booklet, radio booklet and two sets of keys. The car is also excellent mechanically, feeling like a tight, well-maintained, low original mileage example should. Despite its low miles, the car was never neglected for any period of time, rather driven regularly (albeit sparingly) and professionally serviced, always garaged and professionally detailed. The car starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to announce its 316hp 5.0L V8, and it’s a joy on the road, smooth through each of the gears and pulling with impressive 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. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire what is undoubtedly one of the finest, best documented, most original 928 S4s on the market. With vintage Porsches appreciating faster than nearly any other marque (save for Ferrari), the outlandish numbers that 356s and 911s have been realizing have made the 928 a legitimate and unique collector’s car, the epitome of a modern classic. Iconic colors, impeccable condition, low miles, documented history, 5.0L engine, etc.…If you’ve been looking for a 928S4, it would be hard to find a better example. I want this car to go to great home and would be happy to answer any questions, so please feel free to email me or call me at 805-708-2404. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but while I’m a dealer, I’m not an expert, and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my 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 I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your interest. Goodman Reed Motorcars.
