THE ULTIMATE GERMAN MUSCLE CAR (Made Better)

If you're not seeking a squeaky clean garage queen then skip this listing


Imagine what this 928 was like new, if it were built today. Nothing looks or appears "worn" on this Porsche because if it was, it has already been replaced. This is what museum quality means.

This 928 literally lights up a room and provides both a visual and auditory experience to go with it. Although this custom can be driven daily (if you so desire), it has only been used for show purposes and presently sits in my private collection. Did you catch that? This collectible is not from a dealer lot, dealer inventory, or third party agent. NO, no. I am the real owner.

NOT from some backlot dealer inventory or third-party consignor, this Porsche is offered from the collector who knows how it was built. Commissioned to be fabricated by the lead CANADIAN pursuit vehicle installer, this Porsche not only looks and sounds great, it also includes the interceptor performance package to go with it. There is no other one in the world that has ever been built to match it.

More photos of the operating light bars and flashing sequences are not permitted in this online advertising source. Neither is the use of law enforcement words. Therefore, you will need to go to the website (upon request) to enjoy the entire show. And only if this truly intrigues you. Not to satisfy any curiosity please. This is a real car for a real buyer.

Being sold from my own private collection to another serious collector of fine automobiles. If you are a serious collector of unique automobiles, chances are this one is missing from your stable. There is no disappointments here. It is a WOW Factor car upon first glance in person.



Now Read on...

IF YOU LIKE SUPER CLEAN. I MEAN CONCOURS CONDITION. MUSEUM PIECE. SHOW READY. THIS IS THE ONE.

THIS IS A NICELY APPOINTED HIGHLY OPTIONED 928 WITH FACTORY DUAL HEATED AND POWER SEATS AND DUAL POWER LUMBAR FEATURE WITH FACTORY ALARM. IT BOASTS THE ORIGINAL MARINE BLUE LEATHER INTERIOR AND ORIGINAL EXTERIOR FACTORY PAINT WITH GTS UPGRADES. ULTRA CLEAN. SPECIALTY CUSTOM.

THE HEAT-WRAPPED HEADER INSTALLED CUSTOM BUILT MAGNA-FLOW EXHAUST SYSTEM IS MEANT FOR PERFORMANCE. THE WAY AN UNRESTRICTED V8 SHOULD SOUND AND GO. THAT'S RIGHT, A TRUE DUAL EXHAUST WITH CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS (something real 928's never had). EVERY REAL PERFORMANCE CAR HAS TWIN TIPS. IT COMPLETES THE REAR LIKE A 911.

IF WORDS LIKE: UNIQUE, EXCLUSIVE, MEMBERS ONLY, OR ONE- OF-A-KIND ARE IN YOUR VOCABULARY, THEN THIS PORSCHE MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU. I'M NOT BIG ON EXTRAVAGANT SALES PITCHES AND FLAMBOYANT ADS. THIS PORSCHE REALLY SELLS ITSELF. I'M LOOKING TO MOVE A CLASSIC CAR OUT OF THE COLLECTION AND THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE IF A TRULY INTERESTED BUYER COMES ALONG. AS THE VALUE OF WORLD CURRENCIES FALL, CLASSIC CARS CONTINUE TO BECOME REAL TANGIBLE USEABLE INVESTMENTS. HERE YOU HAVE AN APPRECIATING ITEM OF TRUE AND LASTING VALUE.

I REALIZE 928's BRING ALONG A DIFFERENT BREED OF BUYERS THAN DO 911's. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE THIS COLLECTORS PIECE TO GO TO ANOTHER COLLECTOR AND NOT SOMEONE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHEAP 928. THIS PARTICULAR 928 WAS IN PORSCHE PANORAMA MAGAZINE FEATURED IN A PCA CLUB DISPLAY AND REMAINS IN SHOW STATUS. OWNED BY A PERFECTIONIST, EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IS DONE.

ON PRICE... MOST RECOGNIZE THAT YOU COULD NOT COMPLETE A BUILD OF THIS QUALITY FOR THE STARTING PRICE SEEN HERE. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER TAKEN ON A 3-to-5 YEAR CUSTOM CAR PROJECT KNOWS WHAT I MEAN. FINANCIALLY, THE BUYER ALWAYS GETS THE BETTER DEAL WHEN THE CAR IS PRESENTED AS "DONE".

THEREFORE, THE PRICE IS FAR BELOW THE VALUE OF WHAT IS OFFERED HERE AS A CUSTOM BUILD. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO PLACE BIDS FOR SOMETHING THEY NEVER REALLY HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PURCHASE, LEAVE THIS FOR THE REAL BUYERS. FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE MARKET, THE BEST PART: NO RESERVE.

SO PLEASE... TEXT, TALK AND TYPE ON DISCUSSION FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS AS THIS DOES ME A GREAT FAVOR. IT ADDS TO GETTING THE WORD OUT (free advertising for me). REGARDLESS OF THE IMHO COMMENTS, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT THIS PORSCHE, THE BETTER. THIS IS THE BEST FORM OF ADVERTISING, SO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

NOTE: Actual law enforcement pursuit roof light bar and interior emergency light bars and related accessories will be removed prior to shipping. These can be made available to the buyer if so desired. In addition, the tactical vest and accessories and special order DMV Germany plate will also be made available separately. WHY? These "flashy" items add no real tangible value to the actual car. So I'm told. Of course, all are available for viewing "in action" if one desires to consider having them as part of the collection.



SPECIAL NOTE ON PROVENANCE: This car has a very CLEAN and CLEAR title (history). It was hand-built by Porsche in Stuttgart for the Canadian market and has never left Canada since arriving here. To those in Canada and Europe, this means it's given similar specifications as EURO spec models which makes it more desirable and more rare than a traditional U.S. spec 928. Sold and owned in Canada from new, it boasts having EURO instrumentation with a 300km/h speedometer from the factory. More importantly, it's traceable right to the day of its initial sale from the Porsche dealer in Vancouver, B.C. CANADA on January 2, 1988. That's right, 26 years ago. Therefore, this officially classifies it as antique status in Canada. Once again, this is not an import from the U.S. or overseas with a multi-owner background. We all know, the three most important qualities in real estate is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In a classic car, it's PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE, and PROVENANCE which only adds to its value as a collectible.



OVER THE TOP IN EVERY WAY...

You want something unique? You want something already "done"? You want a Porsche you can drive or show? You want a Porsche you can be proud to own? It's right here... A newer interior with original leather seats and body. A clean history and clear title. Yes, it can be registered and driven the way it is. Yes, the custom decaling and light bars and controller and LED amplifier and sirens and air horn and flashers and strobes and red and blues and intercom and DMV Germany plate and even the gold plating will all be disabled and removed.

The point is even with all that "jazz" out of the way, this is still a concours condition 928 so you get to start off with something FRESH. And that is the best way to begin the new season ahead. The opportunity to enjoy life comes only once. So enjoy the journey... it is the reward... and it continues right here... beginning with your bid.




ONLY TERM & CONDITION (FINAL BID NOTICE): The winning buyer will be invoiced 10% of the final bid price to be paid within 48 hours as a non-refundable deposit to confirm sale of the vehicle.


NOTE TO POTENTIAL U.S. BUYERS: This is not a listing for the U.S. market. Yes, it can be imported into the United States. I just find that from past experience most buyers have no clue how to go about doing that. If you are truly interested, contact me. The simplest way is to hire a broker. After all, this is an investment so invest to have it imported easily.


...IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST…

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep

Fri, Dec 12 2014

If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.

Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer

Sun, May 5 2024

Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more.  Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.
