Under carriage and engine bay are clean, no oil leaks or rust anywhere on the car. No body or paint work has ever been performed on this vehicle. Factory service manuals and car cover included.

Full maintenance, including timing belt, rollers, water pump, and all fluids performed at 18k miles by a local Porsche expert. Prior to that, car was meticulously maintained by the original owner, who is a mechanic by trade.

This Porsche is factory original. With the exception of the radio (replaced with factory equivalent), all parts on the car are original. Additional accessories such as tool kit,tire air compressor and aftermarket wheels are included. Runs and drives great, needs nothing!


Options ($50k MSPR)
• Upgraded brakes from 928 S4, including steel brake lines
• Upgraded turbo with 247 hp
• Sport chassis
• Limited slip differential with transmission cooler
• ABS
• Airbags
• Sunroof with electric tilt

Read further down. The 'All Cloth Seats' is standard in the 'Turbo S' package, then the Options list adds the Partial Leather upgrade for +$591

Thank you. I forgot to mention that I also have the factory service manuals in addition to the owners manuals.

Looks like you have some beautiful classics in your collection!

The window sticker is great to see! What does "removable sun roof" mean? Is it really removable?
The younger folks here may not remember/know that before the 1991 recession, there was a long wait (6 months at Stoddard) to get one of these cars. When I bought my '88 turbo cab from them in the fall of '91, the salesman was pining about "the good old days" of full prices and long waits.
GLWS - it does look like a true time capsule.

You can completely remove the sun roof in these cars and store it in garage of back of car.

Hope not. That would be a major bummer in an otherwise pristine example.

Hopefully the seller still has the original Porsche CD-1 stereo, too. Those are rare as hen's teeth and extremely valuable now.

There is an antenna in the front left fender - i guess the windshield one wasn't good enough. I do not have the original radio - that is the only thing that is not stock.

Both sets of wheels are included - the aftermarket (which I installed in 2014) and the original club sports, which are in excellent condition.

I bought the car from a family member 2 years ago with 18k miles. The major service was complete in Aug 2014 immediately @ 18k, with a follow-on oil change in Sept 2015.

Thanks for the updated information.

Has the windshield been replaced?

great comments, I have an '89 951 and I have the window sticker, no inclusion of the info in starred box section, for example "larger turbo charger", "sport chassis" almost as if marketing department wrote that part, mine has the Porsche CD-1 stereo and no fender antenna (that's an interesting item) and yes the sunroof is huge and removable, great cars
