Our Porsche 928 was purchased new from Porsche-Audi Northwest/Continental Motors by a family member who liked the way the car looked. She called it her "blue bug" and never drove it over 50 mph. She didn't trust the small emergency spare tire, so she insisted on adding a new wheel and new tire, which she kept in the rear hatchback. It has never been used. She also "undid" the alarm after she had several episodes of accidentally setting off the alarm by opening the wrong door. We have all the paperwork and repair papers that she kept for several years. We received the car after her death and with the advice and mechanical expertise of the people at A&P Motors in Portland, we have enjoyed driving it for the past 14 years. The 110,317 miles are actual miles driven. We have new Pirelli tires, brakes and new battery in the past two years, but nothing major needed to be done.
Due to medical reasons we are going to offer this Porsche for auction and hope that someone will enjoy driving it the way it should be driven. Our mechanic's been nagging us to "take it out on the road and drive it", but we are not able to do that anymore. The alarm system needs to be reconnected; the passenger door automatic lock needs to be adjusted; the dash lights are touchy inside and should be looked at. The air conditioner needs regular servicing in 2013. The Berlin Blaupunkt radio ($1,300)was added when the car was purchased and she had automatic transmission instead of a manual. Please read the detail items on the photo of the original window sticker on this car. Take a close look at the Annual Fuel Cost information if you want an "oh no" moment. By the way, we get better than 11 mpg and always use Premium Chevron gas.
The interior is a lovely Cork leather, very comfortable. The external blue paint is original. The body is in very good shape and it has not been involved in any accidents. There are storage compartments in the dash, in the doors and between the seats. The driving position is fully adjustable, even to the angle of the steering wheel and instrument cluster. An illuminated make up mirror folds safely into the headlining. All glass is tinted. The car corners superbly and rides well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at whcram@msn.com or call 503.281.6625.
Trivia for those who are interested: a blue Porsche 928 like this one was seen in the old movie, "Scarface" and more recently in "Cars". In "Cars" it was named Sally.
Price includes extra wheel and tire.

VIN NUMBER LISTED WITH ITEM IS INCORRECT. it should be 9289200981.
Please take note of viewer's question re the VIN number. The tag on the door is correct: VIN NUMBER IS 9289200981. New photos being added to show: 1979 sales contract, State of Washington application for title, & official mileage verification form. All show correct VIN number. We took the vin from the sales label we found in her original owner's manual and apologize for our error.
Original owner changed her mind when she found out the car she liked had manual transmission. She wanted same car, but with auto transmission. Thank you to the sharp viewer who brought this to our attention. I cannot change the published VIN number on this listing since there is already a bid on this item, but we do have key paperwork since the contract was signed in November 1979.

This is embarrassing. I found a typo error in the description above. Actual miles driven should read: 119,317.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices
Fri, Nov 21 2014"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.
Watch Larry Kosilla resurrect the finish of this barn-find 1966 Porsche 912
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Larry Kosilla, the founder of the Ammo NYC line of car cleaning products, has his own show YouTube's Drive network - we saw his work before when he gave a Ferrari 288 GTO a two-day detailing job. On this episode, Kosilla gets called in to do his best with a 1966 Porsche 912, a car that was last registered in 1990 and recently found in a barn in Connecticut.
Among the expected dirt and cobwebs, the Irish Green Porsche is also covered what is assumed to be cat fur and "waste." The car is in such delicate condition, however, that Kosilla can't wash it for fear of getting more water in it than on it, so he has to steam and wipe the entire thing down before he begins the paint correction process. In addition to the thorough knowledge of his work and his ability to explain it simply, the episode is captioned with further information one of Porsche's popular but less regarded models, and how Kosilla does what he does.
You'll find a compelling 29 minute masterclass in the video below.
