1978 Porsche 928

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is excited to offer this characterful 1978 Porsche 928 for sale on consignment with our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. When the 928 was initially offered by the German automotive manufacturer it was intended to replace the iconic 911 in the lineup, but being a front-engine car Porsche's traditionalist buyers stuck to their guns and shunned the new kid on the block. However, that didn't stop the 928 being a success in its own right and bringing into the fold a new generation of Porsche enthusiasts with it. The 928 used aluminum for the hood, doors and front fenders to achieve some weight saving and this vehicle comes painted in a deep Olive Green color. The whole vehicle looks very sleek and robust for the late 70's, considering it comes out of an era where even Mercedes and BMW were not using wrap around bumpers. The all-aluminum, fuel-injected, water cooled 4.5l V8 engine in the Porsche 928 was a remarkable powerplant for its era, pushing 237hp and catapulting to 60mph in around 7.5 seconds according to online literature. The 928's 5-speed manual transmission was mounted at the rear axle, a decision from Porsche that helped achieve a near 50/50 weight distribution in the car. The interior of the 928 was top-of-the-line European quality and you can't help but gaze at the “Pasha" checked pattern on the Black cloth seating. A leather covered dashboard, climate control (R-12 Freon not blowing cold), radio, power windows and power mirrors are some of the creature comforts to enjoy; this was considered a suitable Gran Touring car after all. This particular Porsche 928 was a Euro model that was imported to the United States and hits the market for sale today for the first time in 25 years. There are Porsche lovers all over the world who will be taking a look at this car; get your inquiry in there before anyone else!
