Our Take:
- Porsche 928 S4 Rarity: The Porsche 928 S4 from 1991 is a bit of a unicorn in the automotive world. With only 1,792 units ever made and a mere 263 brought into the United States, it's got that elusive "spot one in the wild and your day is made" kind of allure. For context, that's fewer than some of the most coveted classic cars, making it a true find for enthusiasts who love hunting for rare gems.
- V8 Power with Luxury Touches: This car was part of an era when Porsche was experimenting with front-engine V8s, which was pretty groundbreaking for a brand known for its rear-engine 911s. The 928 S4 boasted a 5.0-liter V8 engine, pushing out an impressive 316 horsepower at the time. It combined this power plant with luxurious features like heated seats and advanced air conditioning—quite the plush cruiser for its day.
- Cultural and Competitive Edge: The 928 model line made a splash when it first rolled out, designed to potentially replace the 911—a bold idea that didn't quite pan out. However, it won the prestigious European Car of the Year award in 1978, a testament to its innovative spirit. The inclusion of this model in events like the Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance shows that its appeal transcends mere rarity; it's a respected piece of automotive history.
- Provenance and Documentation: Having over ten years of records, including original booklets and recent documentation as late as October 2024, adds significant value. This sort of provenance is gold for collectors, as it not only paints a picture of the car's journey but also reassures potential buyers of its well-maintained status. The original booklets are like finding an old vinyl album with the liner notes perfectly intact—a slice of history.
