1984 Porsche 928 S Recent Paint on 2040-cars
Jasper, Georgia, United States
Selling my personal 1984 928S to fund the restoration of a '79 928 5 speed and an '85 928S. Super fun car to drive & turns heads everywhere I go. I've put over 3,300 issue free miles on this car. Shifts smoothly.
Painted in July, 2013. Rated a strong 8 of 10 with minor imperfections showing when you look very closely. $2200 spent on body work and paint. They missed one tiny dent on the roof behind the sunroof the size of a dime. This car was originally bronze & the door jams were not painted black. Recently reupholstered light weight Porsche Recaro front seats. Rear seat bases were removed for speakers. Needs interior restoration in hatch area. Dash is cracked, but has a custom dash cover. Very dependable with a huge stack of maintenance records, including original invoice from Porsche dealer in Alabama. Recent tune-up including plug wires & battery. This is a southern car free of rust having spent most of it's life in Alabama & Georgia. Clear issue free Georgia title in my name. OEM Porsche spare tire & jack included. Car has a few minor electrical issues. Gas gauge & engine temp gauge don't work right all the time. I fill up based on the number of miles I've driven. Climate control fan doesn't work. Power windows work, but the switches are broken and bypassed. Power locks and cruise control don't work. Stereo works fine. I installed new front door speakers, but haven't hooked them up yet. Power steering line has a small leak. $110 for a new line, or repair existing line. I have never tried to open the sunroof, as I don't want it to open & then not close. Brakes are good, but pads are approaching the point of needing replacement. Stops just fine. I drive this car on 75+ mile trips on a regular basis. Headlights open & close as they should & were painted as well. Wipers work fine. Odometer works & was replaced by the previous owner with all zeros. Documentation included. I think the total miles is right around 100,000 based on the documents. Now shows just over 3,200 miles. I drive this car regularly & it has proven to be dependable for a 30 year old car. This is a great weekend car or driver, but not a show car. It is now 30 years old. The original front lower spoiler is still there, but has a few cracks & chips. It sits very low & is vulnerable to damage. If you want a replacement, they are available & easy to replace. It has near new Rikken matching tires with great tread life left. If you want the original power seats, I will swap them back & reduce the price $500.00. I have a set of staggered 17" Porsche Carerra 5 spoke rims with Michelin Pilot (rear tires worn to tread mark) if you'd rather have them, I'll swap them out. I've taken the time to accurately describe this car, but may have missed something. I welcome inspections prior to purchase. Fly to Atlanta & drive this car home. Please understand you're bidding on a 30 year old car! If you'd like a show 928, please bid on one that is twice this price. If you want a cool driver or weekend car consider this one. Note terms of payment and abide by the terms of ebay & this auction. If you don't have any feedback, please contact me prior to bidding. This car is available for sale locally & subject to be removed from ebay prior to auction end. If you really want it, use Buy It Now feature. |

Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
