Default All original brown 79 5sp w/ 28,662 miles

I have no affiliation with this listing, actually wish it could be mine but I have to pay school tuition :/. Just wanted to get the word out. Found it on craigslist.

This is what the listing stated:

"For sale is a 1979 Porsche 928. This car has very low miles, 28,662. The car has been garaged for almost all of its life. The car is a manual transmission and is brown on the outside and it. The paint is in mint condition as is the interior. Car is equipped with the original Blaupunkt Stereo and all other factory options. Nothing non-factory issued has been installed in this car, it is all original. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the options installed on this car or any questions at all, please feel free to ask. "

Asking price is $9995

Hope it finds a nice home. Brown is such a great color.

Very nice. What state is it in? If I were in the market for another OB, I'd seriously look at it. I have a friend who might be. He wants a 930 turbo but I'm trying to convince him to get a 928. Same fun -- 1/4 the price!

You know darn well the head gaskets are going to be leaking like a rainbird sprinkler system....because the coolant never got changed....but even so, that is a pretty nice looking car.

Early cars when you tilt the seat back forward automatically move the seat base forward......by a switch. Gets interesting if you are driving and the switch malfunctions Not one of the better ideas !
