Today for sale I have a very exciting 1979 Porsche 928!  This is the rare 5 speed!  The 928 was Porsche's first mass produced V8!  Everywhere I go people stop to look at this amazing car!  The motor is strong!  There are receipts for almost everything that has been done to this car for the last 7 years.  The records that I have for things that have been done are:

2006 - freon added, inspection passed
2007-condenser 
2008- magma flow, chrome tips, stalks, hangers, steering wheel horn gold button, CV Boot set of 4, bought owners manual, quickpods 6.5 ABS speaker pod with recessed face, silicone oil pan gasket, upper ball joint repair, alignment, Koni performance shocks
2010- water pump, replace timing belt, fill and bleed cooling system, set ignition timing, inspection passed
2011- rebuild manual trans axle, new interstate battery, alignment, axle boot kit
2012- car repainted (used original Porsche black), new front chin spoiler, inspection passed
2013- new electric window motors (driver and passenger)
 
The car has Ricaro bucket racing seats, Koni adjustable shocks in the rear, front chin spoiler,  carbon fiber torque bar, after market racing steering wheel (momo?)...this car is set to run!  The transmission and clutch are strong!  All windows, lights, horn, etc work!  CLEAN title in hand!  You will not be disappointed in this car!  There is a youtube video where you can see it going down the road:  http://youtu.be/qh6SE2-OqQ8
The thing I can think of that needs help on the car is the air conditioner.  It needs to be hooked back up and probably charged.  The only other thing is recently the odometer stopped counting miles.  I don't drive the car often so I just noticed this the other day.  

The car is also listed locally.  You are more than welcome to come take a look at the car in person.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.

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."
