Initially delivered at Alan Johnson Porsche Audi in San Diego, California, this 1979 Porsche 928 is finished in Mocha Brown over a brown leather interior. It was further configured with a 5-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, heated side mirrors, power seats, and more.

This example is finished in the seldom-seen shade of Mocha Brown. Equipment includes pop-up headlamps, headlight washers, integrated fog lights, heated side mirrors, a rear window wiper and defogger, and dual exhaust tips. The car rides on polished 15” Phone Dial alloy wheels with Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 tires from 2022. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

 

The cabin presents brown leather, matching carpets, and previously reupholstered front seats. Options include power seats and an alarm system. Standard amenities consist of air conditioning, automatic cruise control, an adjustable steering column, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and power windows, door locks, mirrors, and a power antenna. All gauges and accessories are confirmed to be in proper working order.

 

This first-generation 928 is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5L V8 engine that was factory-rated at 230 HP and 253 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a desirable 5-speed manual transaxle. Standard performance features include electronic ignition, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel vented disc brakes, and a brake booster. A major fuel system service was completed in February 2021 along with the replacement of the timing belt, water pump, and some trim pieces. Additionally, an aftermarket exhaust system was previously fitted, and a collection of service records is provided in the gallery.

This sale will include a clean title, a window sticker, owner’s manuals, and service documentation. 

The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for checking out this 928. This is a beautiful example, sold new in California, with just 50k original miles. Retro Metallic Brown with a 5-Speed Manual and a V8 up front. Has all the books, manuals, tool kit, spare tire, and the original window sticker as well. You will be hard pressed to find another 1979 in this nice of condition. Happy bidding!”
