Default '86 Euro

One would hope that the reserve is low because it doesn't have a sunroof(?), and has those uncomfortable seats.

Funky federalization on the warning lights.

VIN# - WP0ZZZ92ZGS840430

(1986 Porsche 928 S)

Is a 32V or not?

The Euro 1986 32V are really rare.

PorKen, you are kidding RIGHT?! That car would be AWESOME, but I am betting it needs a new paint job AT LEAST!

Paint, TB/WP, AC work, window reg, door panel, various elec gremlins, hood/hatch lifts, door stays, spoiler. Call it an even $6500 in needed mx with a good/fair paint job and you're all set.

It would be very rare if it was the European version of the early 32v engine. They are definitely "hen's teeth" compared to the twin dizzy 4.7 16v.

Shamefully hijacking this thread. John, will you post some pics of that beautiful green racer in our picture thread?

BTW...where's Shane E..? That color fits his profile perfectly.

On a side note, it's cool to see the early panels with later seats...old style auto shifter handle and although it's an early 86...I believe all Euro 86ers had S4 suspension and brakes.

There's another minus, down option, or no stereo when delivered. (Available on euros, no multi-speakers, so older style perforated leather panels are used, same with the rear quarter panels.)

No rear air, nor extra safety bumpers on the back. Pshaw.

At least it has the pretty chrome rings around the headlights, bump strips, and automatic trans going for it.

Anemic?!?!? Riiiiiight... It's so bad that mine, in stock form, was half a second faster in the 1/4 mile than the S4 or the GTS.

You did know the euro 32 Valver was 9:1 CR .... M28/45 engine code... <-----note smiley after statement is for the lack of ability to note sense of humor over the interwebs ..
