Introduced at the 1977 Geneva International Motor Show, the Porsche 928 represented one of the most ambitious departures from the company's traditional sports-car formula. Conceived during a period when Porsche executives questioned the long-term future of the 911, the 928 was developed with the intention of becoming the company's new flagship automobile and eventual successor to its iconic rear-engine sports car. Rather than simply evolving the established formula, Porsche engineered an entirely new grand touring platform, combining a front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine, rear transaxle configuration, sophisticated suspension, and a beautifully sculpted 2+2 coupe body. Its blend of high-speed performance, refined road manners, and long-distance comfort earned immediate recognition, including the prestigious 1978 European Car of the Year award, making it the first and only sports car to receive that distinction. Ultimately, the 928 would enjoy an impressive 18-year production run through 1995, with just 61,056 examples produced across all model variations. Although the 911 would ultimately retain its place in Porsche's lineup, the 928 successfully established itself as a distinctive and highly capable grand touring flagship.
Powering the 928 is Porsche's sophisticated 4.5-liter (273ci) all-aluminum V8, featuring single overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, producing an impressive 219 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque in U.S. specification. Its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration incorporates a rear-mounted transaxle for excellent weight distribution and balanced handling, while the smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission provides effortless grand touring capability. This advanced engineering helped distinguish the 928 as a genuine high-performance luxury touring automobile rather than simply another traditional sports car.
Offered here is a particularly appealing 1982 Porsche 928 Coupe finished in its elegant factory Platinum Silver Metallic exterior over an original Black Leather interior. Particularly noteworthy is its exceptional two-owner history from new, accompanied by an impressive collection of original accessories, documentation, and a substantial investment in recent mechanical servicing. According to the accompanying ownership history, this Porsche was originally purchased by F.S. Addy of Lake Forest, Illinois, on October 31, 1981, from Scala-O'Brien Porsche/Audi in Chicago. Mr. Addy retained ownership until May 1985, when the car passed to its second owner in the Springfield, Illinois area with just 14,267 miles recorded. This subsequent caretaker would enjoy and maintain the Porsche for the next 38 years, representing an unusually long and stable ownership period that speaks favorably to its continued care and preservation.
The original powertrain remains in place, including its factory-installed V8 engine and automatic transmission, complemented by a well-appointed list of factory amenities. Features include air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, power six-way adjustable seats, 16-inch Porsche phone-dial alloy wheels, Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette audio system, fog lamps, cruise control, rear window defrost and wiper, fold-down rear seating, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Accompanying the car are both original ignition keys and its red valet key, owner's manual with stamped service booklet, complete factory tool kit, rear cargo sunshade, and all original spare tire equipment.
Since joining our collection in September 2023, this 928 has received considerable attention to its mechanical condition, with an emphasis on addressing recommended service items and restoring confidence in its operation. Extensive work included replacement of the timing belt and tensioner, intake distributor sleeves and manifold gaskets, all accessory drive belts, and new spark plugs. The cooling system received a new water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, coolant pipe, and complete coolant flush. The braking system was thoroughly renewed with new front and rear brake pads, rotors, and sensors, accompanied by a fresh DOT4 brake fluid flush. Additional chassis and driveline work included new steering rack bellows, CV joints and boot clamps, sway bar links and bushings, and new tie rods. The automatic transmission was serviced with a new filter, pan gasket, and fresh fluid, while the differential received renewed lubricant. Further maintenance included new Falken Ziex tires, battery, fuel filter, and engine oil and filter, along with numerous ancillary service items. This comprehensive investment addresses many of the important maintenance considerations associated with early 928 ownership and allows its next caretaker to enjoy the car with considerably greater confidence.
Cosmetically, the exterior has been professionally refinished in a quality basecoat/clearcoat finish to address the normal wear accumulated over its many years of use. The original Black Leather interior, by contrast, remains intact and presents in remarkably well-preserved condition overall, providing an appealing contrast to the refined Platinum Silver finish. The combination of its original interior, retained factory powertrain, exceptionally long-term ownership history, and accompanying original accessories makes this a particularly honest and desirable early example.
Today, this 1982 Porsche 928 offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully maintained example of Porsche's groundbreaking V8 grand touring flagship. With its desirable early production character, documented two-owner history, substantial recent mechanical investment, and remarkably preserved original interior, it represents an appealing addition to any Porsche collection. Equally at home on enjoyable weekend drives or proudly displayed at Porsche Club of America gatherings, this 928 is ready to be appreciated by its next enthusiast.
