Description
Overview: This 1983 Porsche 928S features its original factory Porsche blue exterior with a matching dark blue interior. It is equipped with A/C, a power sunroof, power seats, and an automatic transmission.
Documentation and Accessories: The vehicle comes with the original owner's manual, the original spare tire, jack, and the factory tool kit, preserving its heritage and completeness for collectors.
Condition and Mechanicals: The car has been parked for an extended period. While it starts and runs, it may have a head gasket issue. It serves as an excellent project for a Porsche enthusiast, requiring both mechanical and cosmetic attention.
Registration: The vehicle holds a clean California title and is currently registered on 'Non-Op' status, ensuring there are no outstanding back fees for the new owner.
Market Highlights
- The Collector Entry Point: In 2026, the Porsche 928S has transitioned from an unloved grand tourer to a sought-after classic. As 911 prices remain out of reach for many, the 928 offers a unique V8-powered alternative that represents the pinnacle of 1980s German engineering and design.
- SoCal Enthusiast Market: Southern California remains the global epicenter for Porsche culture. A Chino-based car on Non-Op status is highly desirable because it likely avoids the rust issues found in Eastern cars and has a clear path to street-legal registration without the burden of unpaid state fees.
- Project Potential: While a head gasket repair on a 4.7L V8 is labor-intensive, the 1983 S model retains enough value in 'Good' condition ($15,000+) to make this $4,000 entry price financially viable for a DIY mechanic or a dedicated restorer looking for a complete, original car.
