Description
Listing my 1988 Porsche 928 S4 with the rare manual transmission for sale. I have been working on this car for the past year but at the moment do not have the time it needs to finish it, so i’m thinking of passing it off to another Porsche enthusiast. When I bought the car it did not start but now it runs and shifts through all the gears. I have a folder full of documents with maintenance dating back to the original California owners.

Our Take:
- Rarity of the Manual Transmission: The 1988 Porsche 928 S4 with a manual gearbox is like spotting a unicorn in the wild. Most 928s were fitted with an automatic, as the car was designed to combine luxury with performance. This makes the manual version particularly coveted among purists and those who revel in the tactile connection of shifting gears themselves.
- Engineering Marvel: The 928 S4 was equipped with a 5.0L V8 engine, pumping out around 316 horsepower—a serious muscle contender back in the '80s. It was one of the first cars to prove that Porsche could make a grand tourer, not just a sports car. If you've ever wondered what it's like to cruise at high speeds with the purr of a V8, this is your chance.
- Design Heritage: The flip-up headlights are a nod to a bygone era of automotive design. They add a quirky kind of drama that modern cars often lack. They’re not just functional; they’re a conversation starter and a reminder of more playful designs in car history.
- Condition and History: Given the car's California origins, it’s seen little to no rust—a blessing for any classic car hobbyist. While it’s not showroom-ready, the included maintenance documents and parts sweeten the deal. It’s a project, sure, but one with solid foundations and a story to tell from its meticulous caretakers over the decades.
