A great opportunity to own one of  the rarest and excellent example of the  prestigious 1989 Porsche 928 GT.   One of the rarest and most desirable 928's in the total years of Porsche's 928 flagship production.   Well kept. up to date maintenance. of one of Porsche's most iconic models with the short production (3  months). premiere year of the 928 GT.

This 928 GT has been with me for the last 14 years about. nbsp; the longest ownership.   I think I am  the 3rd or 4th owner according to records.    Presently reside in Las Vegas area for the  last couple of years.   Prior to that. nbsp; it's been a California car it's entire life.    Always garaged and well kept maintenance  records.   Clean title & registration.    Pink slip in hand.   Clean CarFax  record. no accidents or salvage.   In  the 14 years I've owned this car. I've  put on only 25k miles. presently sits at  198k miles from 172k purchase reading.   Runs strong and smooth.    Never raced or any rough driving.

The  "works". maintenance & repairs  done 6k miles ago. was done by  Precision Motorwerks. Greg Brown's Porsche shop  which was down the hill from my house in Calif.    GB. if you don't know. is one of the most  respected. and well known  "928" minds  out there.   So rest assure. nbsp; mechanically. it's sound.   (more read  below of all the works done - water pump. nbsp; timing belt. GB teflon fuel lines. nbsp; etc).    Most recent repairs were done  1500 miles ago. nbsp;  locally (Carl's Place. Brent). new brakes. nbsp; rotors. and master & slave cylinders. nbsp; hydraulic lines. as well a service. fluids. nbsp; oil. done on 10/2015.   That work was  done by another well experienced 928 tech  there!  I've spent about $20k in the  last 4 years going through most everything. nbsp; mechanically.   Most all the tough expensive areas have been taken care of.    Runs excellent!

This GT  is currently running on 18" Black Carrera IV's from a  P997 ($3000).   It looks  great and are my fav.   *But what's  great (from some old pics below) is that this car sale also includes the original "RARE" Chrome Club Sport  wheels & tires. which are lightweight and rare. nbsp; especially the 8" fronts.   They will  come with this car as well. so you can switch it up if you desire.   So in  all. "2" sets of awesome wheels for the GT!

  From web source:

In 1989. Porsche ups the ante  again. this time delivering a 'serious  sporting machine for the solvent'. The GT is  a special version featuring a revised 5. 0  liter 330HP V8. sport suspension and all new  seven-spoke Club Sport rims (note 1). the  rears the widest yet from Porsche measuring  16 x 9" wide. As such. the GT comes only  with a manual trans. Visually imperceptible  but an improvement functionally. the  shiftrod is shortened 1" from the manual S4.   New low-pressure tire warning system is  standard.    

From 959 technology. the 928  GT is fitted with an electronically  controlled limited slip differential. The  LSD has a progressively lockable multiplate  clutch installed with the rear differential  (note 2). A computer monitors wheelspin and  clutches the affected wheel. Also new is a  tire pressure warning system utilizing a  pair of sensors integrated into each wheel.   The wheels themselves made a change from the  original Club Sport wheel in model year 1989  to the Design 90 style beginning in 1990.    Price: $76. 00

The  928 GT is identified by Porsche only as "928  S4" This same anomaly may apply to Club  Sport / SE editions as well. *Verifying engine code M28/47   and trans code G28/55 (note these are 'type' not serial numbers) is a   safe bet that you are indeed looking at a real GT*  Yes. this is a GT.
