1982 Porsche 928 Description

Absolutely stunning and rare US Spec 1982 Porsche 928, finished in Palisander (Rosewood) Metallic with Chocolate Brown interior, and 5 Speed Manual Transmission.
As an avid Porsche collector, lifelong PCA member and enthusiast (this was P-Car #13 for me, 928 number 3) I acquired this 928 in June and took it to the next level.
Reason for selling? Doing the same to two more 928s as we speak to preserve and share the experience to others...these cars are absolutely wonderful, unique, and have been vastly misunderstood. They are finally receiving the respect they have always deserved and I hope that by reviving them one at a time, more people can enjoy them.

Issues (all run of the mill for 928’s):*Sunroof is slow to open and close, left rail needs to be prepared for smooth operation.*Rear Wiper Motor turns but does not catch aperture arm, again a very common issue*Horn Contact strip is backordered, so horn does not currently work.*Dash pod has a leather cover and dash itself has a plastic cover, which has some waviness to it

Please note that this is a 35 Year old Porsche, and it is not a 'perfect' car...there are tiny touchups and bits of wear you would expect, but it is a VERY good early example and is priced accordingly. I've personally logged about 1500 miles on several long/spirited drives, and this 928 excels at high speed cruising. Many sit for extended periods of time and have a lot of deferred maintenace, driving anywhere out of town feels like “rolling the dice”...this car is the exact opposite= reliable and ready to run with the best.
No warranties expressed or implied. All reasonable offers will be entertained. No bidders with 0 feedback, no exceptions.
I buy and restore at least 3-4 cars a year and am very flexible with both buyers and sellers to coordinate and provide forms for registration in your home state. Always happy to accommodate as needed. While I'm not a dealer/doing this for the money, have confidence that is not my first rodeo.
Lastly, while I do not advocate doing road trips in cars of this age anymore, I would give this particular 928 a stamp of approval to easily do 500+ miles if you would like to fly in and drive it home if you want an adventure :) Free shipping to lower 48 states included with Buy It Now.
