1982 Porsche 928 WEISSACH EDITION #46/205
The vehicle shown is an original condition, 14k mile, One-Owner example of one of the rarest front-engined Porsches built: A 1982 928 M462 SpecialModel 82 otherwise know as the uber-deluxe, ultra rare, and ridiculously expensive Weissach Edition. The Weissach Edition was built to commemerate the 10th anniversary of the opening of Porsche's Weissach R&D facility as well as the 20th anniversary of it's groundbreaking and was limited to 205 units. Each unit was individually numbered and issued a Certificate of Authenticity as well as gold Porsche crest for the dash. Both items are present with this example, the certificate still held in it's original gold leaf envelope and the crest (never installed onto the dash) in it's plastic sleeve. The Weissach Package was a $5,940 option in 1982; equivalent to the price of a new Honda!
This Weissach was number 46 of the 205 unit production run, was purchased new in the Bay Area at Porsche of Burlingame, and has never left the Bay Area. There are no signs of corrosion or having been driven in wet conditions, and portions of the factory cosmoline are still present on the underside. The 4.5 litre V8 engine is dry and shows no signs of leakage, and the rare 5-speed dogleg manual gearbox shifts flawlessly as it should. The vehicle is finished in the Weissach exclusive Hellbronze Metallic with Two-Tone Brown Full Special Leather with handstiched leather dash, panels, console, luggage compartment, etc. Further Weissach exclusive options include the Matte Bronze finished alloy wheels that appeared later in the decade in a silver finish on the 928S, as well as the aero package that was also found on the 928S, Electric Sliding Roof, Blaupunkt Bamberg QTS digital radio with Amplifier System, and a Porsche Luggage Set by Seeger matched to the interior of the Weissach. All factory options are still present including the impossible to find matching luggage that in this case is still in new condition complete with the original Seeger tags and paper stuffing. All panels still show to be factory paint, and the interior is free of damage or wear and is commisurate to a 14k mile Porsche. All records are present from new as well as all manuals, certificates, and the original factory window sticker. This 928 is shows all original equipment with the exception of a stainless steel performance exhaust that was dealer installed just after the original time of purchase.
This is truely a collector's grade Porsche that is not only exclusive and rare, but incredibly preserved, in original condition, and fully documented. It will surely not disappoint in any way, and is more than likely the closest thing to a new Weissach in existence outside of the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen.
