FS: 1978 Porsche 928, 5-speed, LSD, SF Bay Area
FS: 1978 Porsche 928, 5-speed, LSD, 96.5k miles.
Price: $5k. SOLD!
Beautiful cashmere beige 1978 Porsche 928, almost fully restored. 4.5L V8.
I bought the best condition early 928 I could find to fully restore but need to move on to other projects.
Fairly rare 5-speed, and very rare LSD; lightest of all 928s.
96.5k miles. Clean title.
Original window sticker and salesperson card.
Beautiful paint; looks like a well maintained 5-year-old car.
Lovingly maintained; all receipts going back to 1978 (over $20k worth!).
Unmodified apart from large Devek radiator and stainless steel exhaust.
Engine idles smoothly when warmed up (well, as smoothly as a V8 can) and pulls strongly; brakes are strong and the transmission shifts smoothly.
Chrome telephone dial wheels were polished in the recent past and look like new.
Lots of tread left on tires. Plenty of material on brake pads.
Original AM/FM radio/cassette player.
Registered and smogged until August of next year.
Some minor outstanding issues:
. AC does not work. Compressor and lines present but no freon; fan and heater work perfectly.
. Clutch will eventually need to be replaced, though it has been slipping through at least the past two owners so will easily last for 10k+ more miles if you know how to shift.
. Interior is in amazing condition with the exception of wear on the front leather seats (no stains or tears; rears are perfect) and some cracks on the dash.
. Like pretty much every Porsche of this era, there is minor oil leakage - a few drops after sitting for a week or so.

You need to be a member to offer things for sale, and you'll need to put the price in your initial posting. Randy will be at his desk momentarily, so at least get a price in here before the thread disappears completely...
