Our Take:
- Porsche's 928 is a fascinating chapter in their history, originally designed to replace the 911, believe it or not! Launched in the late '70s, it was the brand's first luxury grand tourer and the only coupe powered by a front-mounted V8. The 1986 model marked a mid-cycle refresh with some technical improvements over its predecessors.
- The 928 is somewhat rare today, with its production spanning from 1978 to 1995. The combination of luxury, performance, and Porsche’s racing pedigree didn’t initially resonate with purists, but with time, it's gained a cult following. Its unique blend of European design and American muscle remains appealing to collectors and enthusiasts.
- This particular car has an automatic transmission, which, while not as sought-after as the manual, still offers a laid-back, comfortable driving experience typical of a grand tourer. The quirks mentioned are familiar to 928 aficionados, who often love these idiosyncrasies as part of the car’s character.
- Maintenance history is a big deal for these classics, and the recent timing belt and water pump work is a good sign. These are crucial for the longevity of the V8 engine—considered quite advanced for its time. So, while the broken odometer might raise eyebrows, it seems like this 928 has been cared for in the right ways.
