1981 Porsche 928 Manual Gearbox European model ROW
Driving-Video-2 This 1981 Porsche 928 is finished in Tin Metallic and powered by a 4.5L V8 paired with a dogleg 5-speed manual transmission. The car was reportedly imported from Germany in December 1984 by the Tennessee-based previous owner, and the seller acquired the car 14 years ago. Features include power-adjustable Recaro seats, an Escort radar detector, and an aftermarket stereo. Now showing just under 43k miles, this 928 is being offered with its original tool kit, spare, records dating back to 1985, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name. The Tin Metallic (956) finish is shown up-close in the gallery below. Exterior features include headlamp washers, a rear window wiper, ROW side markers, protective side moldings, and a rear fog light. A sunroof is not equipped, and a dark tint has been applied to the windows. 16″ 7-slot wheels have a polished finish on this car, and wear Kumho Ecsta Supra tires. The interior is finished in black and came equipped with power windows and air conditioning. Factory seating has been replaced with Recaro seats up front that feature striped inserts, along with power functions and lumbar support. The rear seats feature matching upholstery. Controls for the power front seats are pictured above. Additional modifications include a Clarion head unit and Denon sub-woofer/equalizer, though the speakers are not working. An Escort radar detector is hidden in the ash tray, and the dash lights are said to be dim. The sticker above shows the odometer was changed from 28,579 kilometers to 17,862 miles in June 1984. A 180-mph speedometer was also installed at that time. The odometer currently indicates just under 43k miles, with the seller adding approximately 3k during last ownership. The 4.5L overhead-cam V8 is mated to a rear-mounted 5-speed manual transaxle and utilizes Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. The last timing belt service was reportedly performed in 2004 at 40k miles.
