Description

This 1983 Porsche 928S a shows 51k miles and was located in Massachusetts from new until the current owner imported the car to Belgium in 2018 where it stayed in a private collection. Originally purchased on European delivery, the car stayed with its original owner until 2003 and then with his friend until 2017. Power comes from a 4.7-liter SOHC V8, which sends power through a torque tube to a rear-mounted 5-speed manual transaxle. Prior to the sale, the engine, gearbox, and differential oils were changed and a new fuel pump and fuel filter were fitted. Since purchasing the car, the current owner has had the A/C re-sealed and recharged. This 928 is sold with Belgian registration.

The car was ordered from the factory in Slate Blue Metallic (Schiefer Blau Metallic) with factory side moldings (code 418). The previous owner had the finish inspected and found that the hood had been repainted. All other panels are said to be original.

Some chips, scratches, and other marks are present in the finish, and some flaking is visible in the black exterior trim. The driver-side taillight shows some cracking, and per the seller the anodized finish on the wheels shows some flaws.

Since purchasing the car in June, the A/C has been re-sealed and re-charged, and the system now works correctly. The leather seats show minimal wear, and the original embroidered floor mats are still in place. The original steering wheel has been replaced with a leather Momo item.

Per the seller, an issue is apparent which causes the transmission to not go into second gear when cold. The original radio has been replaced with an Alpine head unit, and the additional factory amplifier (code 494) has been replaced with an Alpine amplifier.

All of the instruments are said to work correctly. The odometer shows 51k miles, which is consistent with the mileage updates on the Carfax, as well as the available records.

The 4.7-liter SOHC V8 sends power to the rear wheels via a rigid torque tube and a rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle. The car was reportedly resided in a private collection and was not driven that time, only started. The last timing belt and water pump service was performed in 2020, and the belt was last inspected in 2022.
