note: If you happen to be viewing this 1984 Porsche 928 S on a
website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that
you've only seen some of our many photographs of this vehicle due
to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the
more than 185 photographs, as well as a short
walk-around-and-startup video and a link to its Carfax report,

unique car that was in many ways significantly ahead of its time.
�€"Automobile Magazine, January 2018 Originally meant to be a
replacement for the Porsche 911, the 928 debuted as the fastest
naturally aspirated production vehicle in the world. Over the
model's run, the 928 went on to automotive legend status. As the
magazine writer cput it: Even today, it invokes many oohs and aaahs
when one rolls through town. And for many, it served as a poster
child for many people's dream car, particularly for those who grew
up in the 1980s. The 1984 928 S offered here in Guards red
single-stage paint (rarely seen on the 928) over rare brown leather
interior is an excellent example of this autobahn grand-tourer.
Originally owned in Arkansas, the car has been freshly and
comprehensively serviced here in Michigan. That maintenance
included all new engine belts, including the timing belt,
installation of a new alternator, and replacing all seals and
bearings. The only blemish on its record is a damage report arising
from an unspecified incident some 19 years ago and more than 30,000
miles ago. Because the location of that damage on the car was
apparently never recorded, a very careful inspection was recently
completed. The result? It is impossible to see any evidence of
repairs, and indeed, it's virtually impossible to identify what
might have been repaired. Every panel gap shows Porsche
factory-fit; there are no dents; the doors, hood, and rear hatch
are perfectly aligned, and the Guards red (G1/Indishrot in Porsche
speak) paint is uniform, shiny, and free of blemishes. All emblems
are present and properly located, and both front and rear bumper
areas and spoilers are pristine and undamaged. The car's polished
alloy wheels (mounted with Cooper Zeon RS-3A performance tires) are
free of curb rash and obvious wear. Inside, the condition of the
leather, carpeting, and switchgear (including the console-mounted
automatic-transmission t-shifter) is uniformly excellent. The car's
original Blaupunkt AM-FM-cassette stereo head unit is mounted. The
dashboard is free of cracks. The surfaces on the bespoke 928 bucket
seats (front and back) show no damage or sign of abuse. The
cleverly branded 928 S steering wheel shows no significant wear.
The light-tan 928-branded carpet mats alo show little wear. Under
the hood, the 4.6-liter V8 engine is nothing short of a work of
automotive art. Most enthusiasts agree it is far more captivating
in appearance than the later iterations. The remainder of the
engine compartment is clean, tidy, and complete. Photos of the car
from below also show none of the sort of damage that can arise from
abuse or track use. The exhaust system is complete and properly
installed. The detailed condition of this 928 S is faithfully
presented in the more than 185 high-definition photographs together
with a short walk-around-and-startup video available at the
GarageKeptMotors site. That said, there is no substitute for an
in-person, up-close inspection. We encourage such inspections by
interested parties at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. We ask
only that an appointment be made by phone or email in advance. Our
showroom is not open to the public. As to investing in a Porsche
928, Hemmings Motor News advised not long ago: Overall, the 928
