Oh to read the ad....

Car runs strong. Engine and Transmission is in excellent condition.
This car had its motor&transmission professionally rebuilt from bottom up to the head like one year ago. All suspension was renew. The oil just changed. Brakes are very strong. Pads just renew.
This Porsche 928 S has only 75,550 driven in Florida and was always garage kept and well cared for.
All switches work.
I just bought the new battery for $260.
No accident CLEAN TITLE !!! The body of car is still like new !
Believe me this car is going to go for another 32 years.
You need to test it on a highway to got understand what the car is it.

Just need minor work.
The A/C is runs but have problem with a cold.
Odometer stoped to work after the rebuilt engine,dont have a time and patience to go to shop.
Must let you know the car is real head turner draws plenty of attention.
I can ship the car.
Dont hesitate to ask question.
but please serious buyers only!

Unfortunately the AC has a problem with a cold and the new battery is so expensive he mentioned it twice.

Glad to know the transmission and engine were rebuilt cause it looks like a 1972 v8 setup.

That's a whole lotta fugly.

He said that it's a head turner. I believe him. In his defense, he didn't say which direction heads were turning.
There is one thing missing however:



The Scarface Bobblehead.

Multiple choice question:

I would buy that and
a) return it to stock
b) bring it to a CA smog check station
c) take it to Burning Man and ... you know... burn it.
d) give to someone I really don't like as a Christmas present

Is this one of Maverick's 928s?

I really like it! Just enough Miami Vice there to satisfy just about anyone.

The scoop in the hood and the louvers on the fenders are....well done.

However, I think it needs a stumble ram (AKA-Tunnel Ram) sticking through the hood to really finish it off. Tall enough to have to move your head from side to side to be able to see.

Maybe a blower?

Perhaps Catorce's new intake manifold along a couple of Holley Dominators and velocity stacks might do it? (mounted sideways, of course.)

BBBBBad to the bbbbbone.

Meh. Not my taste. But still rather see that than the BAZILLION I see that are dead from pure neglect. At least somebody cared enough to work on it, in whatever direction it took.

The fenders at least look nicely done, and the interior is salvageable. For like 3K I might be tempted to buy it and drop an LS1 in...

I know I shouldn't...but I kinda like it. The fender gills are cool, and the hood scoop is as tasteful as one could be. I know exactly which gray 928 to park it next to at Frenzy Easiest big improvement would be to remove stuff that is stuck on the back. Put a 928 motor back in, or an LS.

That is a 928 motor. 16v, which is a bit odd for an 85.

I'm trying to figure out where the water bridge went. And using hard fuel line to link the oil filler to the carb is...

Interesting.

The butcher job on the rear bumper cover is pretty hideous.

Although I have to admit that the fog lights down in the spoiler are interesting looking. Not that they'd do anything being 6" off the ground, but still an interesting idea...
No, it's just stupid.

If you drove it backwards through Pep Boys, would it turn into a 928?

OMG! I never looked past the intake thing! So weird. Wow, someone liked it more than keeping $7K+ in their pocket.
