1980 Porsche 928

1980 Porsche 928 – 5-Speed Manual | 40,687 Miles | Metallic Black

Before the 911 became untouchable, Porsche built something revolutionary.

The 928 was a statement — a front-engine V8 grand tourer engineered to outperform expectations and redefine what a Porsche could be.

This example is finished in metallic black, showing just 40,687 original miles, and — most importantly — equipped with the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission with dogleg first gear (1st gear positioned down and to the left). A true driver’s configuration, designed for performance shifting with 2nd through 5th perfectly aligned for aggressive driving.

Under the hood sits the 4.5L water-cooled V8, producing approximately 230 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong mid-range pull and classic analog response.
0–60 mph in ~6.6 seconds and a top speed near 143 mph — serious performance for its era.

The 928’s rear transaxle layout gives it near 50/50 weight distribution, while the advanced Weissach rear suspension keeps it planted and composed at speed. This is not just a luxury GT — it’s an engineering milestone.

Manual 928s with low mileage are becoming increasingly scarce. Clean, well-preserved examples in this condition are no longer easy to find — and the market is starting to recognize it.

If you understand what the dogleg gearbox means…
If you appreciate analog Porsche engineering…
If you’ve been waiting for the right 928 —

This is the one.
