Description for Porsche 928 1985

Up for sale 1985 Porsche 928

This car belongs to my father. It was last registered & driven in 2003.It was stored under a covered patio for all these years. He parked it when the “change timing belt”light came on. He as always gonna…butnever quite got around to replacing the belt.

We trailered it to myhouse Oct of 2019. He could not find thekey, all4 tires were dry rotted & flat. I tried to sell “as is” at the timeand the ebay auction finished at $5K only to have the buyer back out of thedeal when he ran into trouble having it shipped in that condition.

Since then, we found the key, installed a set of tires. Idrained & flushed the fuel tank. Replaced the fuel pump. Installed abattery, topped off all the fluids & now she starts, runs & drives. The check engine light is still on, but to mysurprise, it sounds purdy good.

With the battery installed and car running I now know of afew more items that work.

·Engine & transmission

·Power steering

·Brakes

·Emerg brake

·Alarm system…. (not that I know how to workit. Something to do with the way youlock or unlock the car? I managed to setit off a couple of times.

·Both elec seats

·Elec mirrors

·Stereo

·Dash fan & blower (hoo boy… a lot of dustcame out of that baby when I turned it on)

·Replaced the gas hood shocks, so the hood willstay open.

This car is all original & complete, right down to theOEM alloy wheels, tool kit in the removable panel at the hatch back. Has theoriginal “hide a spare & jack”

Front & rear seat upholstery look good. I cleaned themup with some Maguire’s leather conditioner

There are things that don’t work. What I know so far, tThe fuel gauge did not goup when I added fresh fuel. Oil pressure& tach do work. One of the pop uphead lights came up once, but does not want to work now.

The clear coat has started peeling on the driver side front, below the hood. Belowthe rear hatch & sun roof cover.

The plastic air dam under the front bumper is cracked…. Dam parkingstops!

Some of the alloy wheels have lost their finish

There is a small (gotta look for it to find it) impression (dent?) on the top of the passfront fender.

The dash pad has shrunk up.The plastic dash bezel around the cluster has a crack.

The plastic bracket that mounts the hood pull cable leverinside the car broke

Few stains in the carpets.

All & all in purdy good shape for a car that old.

It seems the 1985 was a special year with that awesomeintake system? This car would be a greatcandidate for full restoration as it is all original with 117K miles.

I have videos of the engine starting the first time aftersitting forever. I also have later videos of the car running. The exhaust tone. And the car driving out ofmy driveway and back.

This was a California car that has spent the last umpteenyears in Arizona. My dad titled it withhis summer Alaska address as they are not a greedy when it comes to autoregistrations up there. He/we have freshclean title in hand. The care is locatedat my home here in Yuma, Arizona.

I’m not really a Porsche or even a car guy… I’m sure haveleft out information that would be important to those of you that are…. So, askaway. I will do my best to answer anyquestions, provide more photos or videos… Just let me know how I can help.
