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.

2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS [UPDATE]

Mon, Dec 1 2014

UPDATE: An earlier version of this story referenced the 911's six-speed manual transmission, but of course, Porsche uses a seven-speed manual in this car. The text has been changed to reflect this. There are no fewer than 19 different models in today's Porsche 911 series. While each appeals to the enthusiast, the race-bred GT3 is the pinnacle of the automaker's rear-engined lineup. Unfortunately, and despite the GT3's racing circuit prowess, its rigid track-tuned persona is too grating for many as a daily driver. To satisfy those who put sporty driving dynamics at the top of their list, but don't want to compromise comfort, Porsche has introduced the 2015 911 Carrera GTS. Raising its performance quotient, the GTS model boasts a handful of standard features that elevate it above its Carrera S siblings. Mechanically, it features an enhanced 3.8-liter flat-six bolted into the tail of the widebody platform (shared with the Carrera 4 and GT3). Other goodies include Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), a black-tipped Sport exhaust system and centerlock 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels (five-lug wheels are a no-cost option). Cosmetically, the GTS is differentiated by its darkened lights, painted black wheels, Sport Design front spoiler, Sport Design exterior mirrors, black engine grille, rear black louvers (or lights on all-wheel drive models) and a 'GTS' logo on the lower doors. Inside the cabin are standard Sport Plus seats, Alcantera upholstery throughout with contrasting stitching, black gauges and anodized black aluminum trim. Offering us an excellent opportunity to put the second-generation GTS through its paces on a variety of roads, Porsche tossed us the keys in the LA Basin and pointed us towards Willow Springs Raceway, in the Mojave Desert. Driving Notes The GTS is offered in coupe or Cabriolet body styles, each with a choice between rear- and all-wheel drive. Buyers are also offered a choice between a traditional seven-speed manual gearbox or Porsche's seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK). The GT3, meanwhile, is only offered as a coupe with PDK. We grabbed the keys to a Guards Red rear-wheel drive coupe with PDK for our outbound drive, and a GT Silver Metallic all-wheel drive Cabriolet with a seven-speed manual for our return trip. Finding another 30 horsepower from the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six required some old-fashioned tricks.

Juan Pablo Montoya tests Porsche 919 Hybrid in Bahrain

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Sealing the FIA World Endurance Championship wasn't the only thing that Porsche did this past weekend in Bahrain. Alongside its rivals from Audi and Toyota, the German outfit also participated in a test session for potential new drivers, including Juan Pablo Montoya. Driving the Le Mans- and championship-winning Porsche 919 Hybrid at the Bahrain International Circuit this weekend, Montoya set the fastest time of the day. His "qualifying" lap was clocked at 1:40.86, barely more than a second behind the 1:39.67 lap that earned Timo Bernhard pole position in the previous day's race – and a second faster than the fastest lap set in the race by Neel Jani in another 919 Hybrid. That's a mighty impressive feat for a driver relatively unaccustomed to driving a modern hybrid LMP1. Racing fans will know Montoya as a multi-talented driver. The Colombian has competed successfully in Formula One, Indy, NASCAR, and sports prototypes, winning races in all disciplines. Aside from the International Formula 3000 title, three outright victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, and a handful of NASCAR street-course races, Montoya can count among his many achievements the CART title, two Indianapolis 500 wins, and the checkered flag at the Monaco Grand Prix (along with six other F1 races). Those victories have brought JP among the closest to winning the Triple Crown of motorsports of any driver in racing history, and he's still competing. For those unfamiliar, the Triple Crown is an unofficial measure to gauge the diverse talents of professional racing drivers in three disciplines: Indy, F1, and Le Mans. To win, a driver has to win the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and either the Monaco Grand Prix or the Formula One World Championship. Graham Hill is the only driver in history to have swept all the categories, but others have come close. The list of near-winners includes Tazio Nuvolari, Mike Hawthrown, Phil Hill, AJ Foyt, Bruce McLaren, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, and Emerson Fittipaldi. The only contenders still active are Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve, who won at Indy in '95, the F1 championship in '97, and came second at Le Mans in 2008. Villenueve could still steal the crown if he gets another shot at Le Mans, but the more likely scenario would be to see Montoya rise to the throne. Especially if this test session is any indication. Also driving the Porsche was in the rookie test session was Mitch Evans, a former GP3 champion and GP2 race winner from New Zealand.
