I just added some photos of the engine, etc. along with the vin#. and some addtl. info provided by a fellow Ebayer. For sale is a very nice example of the first year Porsche 928. It is an extremely rare European delivered model. The American -vs- European models differ in that the Euro models are sleeker. Euro models only have one side rear view mirror on the drivers side, and do not have the considered unsightly rear side reflector markers. This 928 is completely original, interior, exterior, etc. This 928 is in very very good condition. No rust that I can see. The pictures will speak for themselves. The only reason I am selling her is because I just dont drive it very much. It starts, runs, and drives excellently. This 928 is a 5 speed manual model. Tires and brakes are in excellent working order as well. The only thing that does'nt work is the in dash cassette/radio. I realize that most folks would likely want to upgrade the radio anyhow. An interested party did some research on my 928. Here is what he kindly informed me of; 

Regarding the vin# 9288102430, the 8 after 928 indicates the Model Year, 8 for 1978.
The 1 incicates that it is the European Model with 177kW/240PS, American models have a 2 instead (169kW/229PS)
The 0 means Coupe
and the last 4 digits are the ongoing serial number. So, the European models like this one have more horsepower (240 hsp -vs- 229 hsp) than do their American counterparts. The auto can be seen, and driven in Carmel, Indiana. Pls. feel free to call me with any questions. Thank you! Brian 317 771 9294

Porsche Pajun to go all-electric as Tesla rival

Wed, Jan 28 2015

Porsche has been rumored to be working on a smaller counterpart to the Panamera for nearly four years now, but we have yet to see any sign of the model dubbed Pajun coming to fruition beyond a digital rendering hidden in the background of another Porsche design. Apparently Stuttgart has been having trouble making the business case in an already crowded market segment. But that doesn't mean the project is completely off the table. According to the latest from Germany's own Auto Motor und Sport, Porsche is now planning to launch the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior just like the Macan project was previously called Cajun) purely as an electric vehicle. With an eye evidently fixed on how dedicated hybrids and EVs are gaining traction in the marketplace (to say nothing of actual tarmac), the electric Pajun - almost certain to carry a different name to the showroom – would be different enough to distinguish itself from existing four-doors of that size like the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, et al. Word has it that Porsche believes that battery technologies will advance enough over the next four years to give its four-door EV a range of nearly 250 miles on a single charge. The model's arrival would be just the latest in a series of environmental concessions made by the company with the broadest range of plug-in hybrids on the market. Aside from the E-Hybrid versions of the Panamera and Cayenne, Porsche arguably led the charge (so to speak) towards hybrid hypercars with the 918 Spyder, is downsizing many of its engines and is turbocharging almost the entirety of the 911 range.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
