When Porsche unveiled the 928 in 1977, it marked a radical departure for the Stuttgart marque, a bold attempt to redefine the grand touring car and potentially even replace the venerable 911. Conceived as a luxurious, front-engined, V8-powered 2+2, the 928 offered a sophisticated blend of performance, comfort, and advanced engineering. Its transaxle layout provided near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, contributing to its acclaimed handling, while its sleek, aerodynamic design and pop-up headlights quickly became iconic. Earning the coveted European Car of the Year award in 1978 – a first for a sports car – the 928 carved out its own niche as a high-speed, continent-crossing GT, embodying a different vision of Porsche performance that endured for nearly two decades. This 1980 Porsche 928, fresh from long-term ownership, presents a compelling opportunity to acquire an early example of this distinctive model. Finished in a handsome dark grey exterior over a complementary tan interior, this particular 928 proudly displays its California roots with an original license plate. Power is delivered via its V8 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, making it an ideal cruiser. Equipped with desirable features such as four-wheel disc brakes, a sunroof, Sylvania Halogen headlights, and Bosch fog lights, this coupe retains much of its original character, further complemented by VDO instruments, a rear window wiper, and an Alpine radio. This 928 is ready for its next chapter with an enthusiast who appreciates its unique place in Porsche history.
