Porsche introduced the 928 in 1977 and the car was somewhat of a departure for a brand that had built a reputation on building rear engine cars. The 928 was built to be a GT supercar. With its front engine, rear wheel drive and 2+2 seating configuration the car checked all of the right boxes. The 928’s transmission was mounted in the back, referred to as a transaxle, this mounting position allowed the 928 to achieve a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution. While its initial sales were slow, these cars overtime have developed a following for their unique look, powerful engine and great handling characteristics. The 928 was produced through the 1995 model year.

This Porsche 928 is presented in white. The car is powered by a 4.5-liter V-8 engine which is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. Power equipment on the car includes windows, sunroof, steering and brakes. The interior is completed in tan, featuring a 2+2 seating configuration, air conditioning and a radio. The car rides on new tires which are mounted on refinished factory “telephone dial” wheels. The vehicle comes with a complete set of original books, window sticker, temporary registration card, dealer addendum sticker, Porsche Metal Plate Warranty card, brochure, tire changing gloves as well as the full toolkit and jack. This Porsche is reported to be an original, one-owner car since it was sold new.
