Being a Japanese import shouldn't it have the additional fender flairs? It would appear some body work behind the rear wheels where the flairs would attach. I would suspect a full respray and the interior was completely redone and it would appear to be a brighter color than the original. I would assume that is why the stickers on the door arm rest aren't there as well. Not sure why they didn't mention that?? Or just omit this picture.
Agreed, being a Japanese destination vehicle from new it should have both the front & rear flairs from the factory. Somewhere along the way this car was likely modified/painted to have them removed...possibly after an accident. Interior looks too good for an 80K car...refreshed and shined up for a resale.
86.5 auto that appears to be Prussian Blue. Seller says: "Greg Brown of 928Motorwerks in Anaheim did an inspection said it was a solid California car." Might be some engine bay, undercarriage pics in the dropbox link on the eBay listing:https://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Porsch...5bs8zi&vxp=mtr
looks interesting Tony. I can see it has a dash and pod cap - the kind that warp. seats look good.
Hi Ed, Yes appears this 86.5 has spent a bit of time in the sun but still appears to be in overall nice condition. The dropbox link on this eBay side does not work for me...maybe someone with a dropbox account can download some pics of the engine bay and undercarriage then post up here ? Bidding so far has been comical even though there does not appear to be a reserve. As usual...I've got no dog in this fight T https://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Porsche-928-S/232950019380?hash=item363ce73534:g:qSsAAOSwV45bs8zi&vxp=mtr

Dave - please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the shaft migration became an issue for the 85MY forward, since after 84, Porsche stopped using the circlip at the engine end of the shaft (per the WSM)?
Yup. You are right, I’m twice wrong. This ‘87’ mistake is stuck in my head hard. This is what seems to be true: Circlip disappears after 84. Driveshaft accommodation for circlip disappears after 86. Still TBF (non-belt kind) seems almost(?) unheard of on pre-‘87.
make sure to mention its had a recent intake refresh and lots of other sorted out things, including a hot post cover.
GLWS you might try BaT
The way things are going you might get more than what you paid for it and, you got to drive it to boot!

Yes, it's a great car.
It's why I feel it's a shame to leave it sitting in storage.

I had a 930 several years ago that was Prussian Blue. Totally awesome color! Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes purple. (It's much more attractive in person than that sounds.)
Too bad one of those couldn't have been a 5-speed.
