Very Handsome 928GT

Description for Porsche 928 1991

Up for bids is a 1991 Porsche 928GT. Just one of 145 made for the US market in model year ’91. This car is dark metallic blue over gray leather interior. This vehicle comes to us from a long-term owner here in Cincinnati. The vehicle was purchased at the local Porsche dealership with approximately 37k miles on it. The car was used regularly and shows excellent service history. In about 2004 the car was put into warehouse storage for approximately eight years. In 2012. the car was taken out of storage and delivered to the selling dealership with the idea that it be readied again for regular use. At that time a significant amount of servicing and repairs were performed. Most importantly. the car received a timing belt. water pump. radiator. new A/C compressor. clutch and new tires (along with many other smaller items). Approximately $8. 00 was spent at that time. More recently. the car has had a fluids and filter service. new hood and trunk struts installed. and fitted with an original style Blaupunkt radio. Cosmetics: The car is a very clean. handsome car. There is some evidence of paintwork on the left rear fender. This is apparent in what appears to be some sanding marks visible in the right light and view at the right angle. There is some very light blistering under the paint on the left rear fender as well as the fuel filler cap. Otherwise. the body is in excellent shape. There does not appear to be any evidence of accident damage. Inside the car is in very good shape. The carpets are very clean and show little to no wear. There is no staining or soiling. The leather is very clean and fairly supple. The headliner is clean with no splits or sag. The dash is very nice with no shrinkage or splits. All the glass is in excellent condition. The only wear is to the driver’s seat bolster which is worn through. Otherwise. the interior presents as a very tidy car. The paint is good driver quality. There is plenty of depth and luster. However. there’s the previously mentioned paintwork at the left rear. Additionally. there is some evidence of bird droppings or acid rain in the clear code. This is noticeable as water spots in the clear coat. Just how visible depends on lighting and angle. The finish of the wheels is very nice with some curbing on the outer lip of some of the wheels. The engine bay is very tidy as is the underside of the car. Overall. it’s my opinion that the car can be used and enjoyed exactly as is for some time before any cosmetic work needs to be taken on. Mechanicals: Mechanical condition of the car is very good. The service records indicate the car was well cared for and issues noted were addressed promptly. The car fires right up and idles smoothly. The ride is firm but not uncomfortable. The brakes pull the car down quickly with no chatter for pull. All of the electrical features work with the exception of the clock. It runs but the knob to adjust it is broken. The windows. sunroof. seats. and door locks function as they should. Heat output is very good and the A/C blows cold. The only drawback is the blower for the HVAC system. It blows well but the fan speed switch only works on higher settings. All interior and exterior lights are functional. The Blaupunkt radio works well and gets good reception. The speakers have good sound quality. Driving: The car is a real pleasure to drive. The V8 just sounds great. The car is quite quick. The dogleg gearbox shifts through the gears nicely. Clutch pedal feel is good. The brakes slow the car down quickly with no drama. The car is rock steady at higher speeds. If I had to travel long distances. quickly. this would be a wonderful car to do it in. Overall. this car represents a great opportunity to acquire a very rare. handsome. capable GT car. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions. Good Luck!
