Up for auction is a metallic tan 1978 Porsche 928 with a 5 speed manual transmission. The car has 102,406 miles and has spend its entire life in Colorado, so there are no rust or corrosion concerns. It's a very solid car that just needs some TLC. The engine runs very smoothly with plenty of power and no major leaks. Many components on the fuel injection system have been replaced including the fuel distributor, both fuel pumps, the fuel accumulator, the warm up regulator and the fuel filter. The transmission seems okay. The clutch master and slave cylinders were recently replaced. The car was repainted about 10 years ago and it was definitely not a very good paint job. There are some runs in the paint, and the masking job was not very good, so the whole car needs to be stripped and repainted. In addition, there's a small dent and a deep score on the passenger side door and another small dent on the right rear bumper that happened when my dad had a little mishap getting it out of the garage one day. The current color is metallic tan. The car was originally dark brown. The front fog light trim on the driver's side is not the correct part for this car. The original got lost when the car was repainted. The interior of the car needs some serious attention. Both front and rear seats need to be reupholstered as they were destroyed by the sun. The dash is covered with an aftermarket fabric kit, as it too was decimated by the sun. The carpet is faded, but presentable. The headliner and trim in the back hatch area are also faded. My late father was in the process of installing new speakers in the doors. He put one big Pioneer speaker in the passenger door, but never got to the left door. I do have the original factory speaker as well the other Pioneer, so you can decide what to do with it. I went through the trouble of getting most of the interior electrical items to work as well as installing a new Kenwood/CD/Ipod/MP3 stereo unit. The ignition switch and cylinder are new, but are keyed differently than the hatch and doors. The AC system does not work. It probably needs to be recharged. The auto door locks and the headlight washers don't work. The tires are like new with very little mileage. Two of the Porsche center caps, however, are missing. This was my father's car, and unfortunately he passed away last year. The car sat for a few years, but I got it up and running in the last year or so. I've driven it around the neighborhood and everything seems to work properly. However, the car isn't currently registered, so I haven't really driven it on the highway or major streets. It would probably make it 30 or 40 miles up the interstate to Colorado Springs. Any further than that, and I would probably recommend hauling it or getting a transport service to get it home. With a paint job and interior TLC, it could be a very nice car.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Early guesses put the engine output somewhere around 560 horsepower.
Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine should propel this rear-engined heathen to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Top speed? Try somewhere around 200 mph. If that's true, the next-generation 911 GT2 will be the fastest 911 in Porsche history.
