Another illiterate trying to sound like an expert in their description:
"The front sway bar busings are outfitted with the Westminster, larger sway bar, with Hemi Rod Ends. The car has a KNN Air Cleaner. This fabulous, sexy, road–runner has been treated like the jewel that it truly is. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles. It uses Mobile One 15/50. The sump holds about 8 quarts. The tires are Kuma Tires costing $145.00 for each one. The upper and lower, aluminum, control arms (ball joints) and the front and rear rotors were updated with slotted/vented rotors. The brake pads are Porterfields and to raise the car a Devic Carrera Kit was installed. This 938–S has additional amenities.The S means it boasts better tail–lights and also headlight squirters and cleaners."

He also installed a much hotter coil and used spark plugs with real silver tips. He re–gapped the plugs wider which allowed more advance and added 8 to 15 horse
Used spark plugs? Is that like using a heat cycled race tire?
The Porsche pictured below has the same specs and body type as the burgandy Porsche being offered here.

Since there is no photograph of the car and the narrative is pure BS (wow,--spent $145 for EACH tire!!) I would stear clear of this beast. It looks like a scam to me.

OMG! That is way too funny. Here's my fav quote:
I wonder of the muffler bearings or blinker fluids were ever changed? 
Instead of using BOSCH spark wires with a rubber core he had the special wires built with stainless steel wire which conducts and gives a much hotter spark.

'...Because he wanted more power out of the engine, both the intake and exhaust were modified for extra horse.'
All that for one extra horse...

Let's not forget that the 928 has two back seats, not just one!
Sounds like the owner consigned the car to a seller which has no clue about cars. Might be worth investigating
