1985 Porsche 928 S 5.0L V8

Up for auction is a well maintained 928 S. This is a Classic mid 80's German gran touring coupe. I've enjoyed this classic 928 for the short time I've owned it. Unfortunately I have new ventures to tackle and I need to sell it. I'd have no issue to continue to own it if my situation was different. I truly enjoy the way it drives for such an old car. I looked around for a few months before deciding on this one. It's not perfect and those that do their research on the 928 know it's short comings and it's blessings. I feel I found one that fit's what I was looking for just right. Sure there are a few things here and there that, depending on the buyer, might need attention, but for this price and the condition of the 928, I don't feel you will go wrong snagging this one up.

It is a 20+ year old car, so it's not in perfect condition. However, the engine, transmission, brakes (minus parking brake, needs tightening) engine cooling, idle, cold start, warm idle. running temperature are all in great condition. All lighting works fine. Pop up head lights function correctly and look cool doing so. Fog lights both function. All turn signals and brake lights work except third brake light. Brake light out warn light comes on when started, then turns off or can me manually turned off. This 928 has seen much maintenance to keep it up to date and road ready. New water pump, steering pump, shocks, belts, brakes and tires.The 928 tracks great and still has decent acceleration and great breaking. No smoking or leaks. Power door locks work great. Rear hatch release doesn't work correctly and must be opened with the key. The power windows work fast up and down, but are temper mental. Like all older 928s, there are some electrical issues. The power windows and rear hatch release are the only known electrical issues. There are a couple of small cracks on the dash that are near the windshield and are almost unnoticeable. The rest of the dash is clean and smooth. The driver's seat shows some wear through the cloth bolsters, but there are no other rips, cuts, tear or worn areas in any of the other  seats. Seats are cloth gray pin-stripe.The 928 has been re-sprayed. There are some signs for overspray on fine areas around the black trim, but nothing major. The paint is smooth and even and has a nice pearlescent shine throughout. There is a quarter size rust spot that is bubbling up, but has not penetrated through the paint yet. All the glass is in great condition and the front and rear have new sets of Bosch wipers.

I have two sets of wheels and tires that will go with it. The phone dial wheels currently on it are new, with new tires. There is no curb rash on the phone dials and the gray paint is still glossy and smooth. The slot style wheels that came with the 928 have some curb rash and the tires have 50+% of tread life left on all 4. I also have a set of Ruger, Porsche Fuch style wheels with a modern look that will sell separately. The front are 8.5x19 and 11x19 in the rear. They are gloss black with a polished lip and color Porsche logo on each center cap. I did not install these. Never had time. They are still NIB and have never seen tires and only have come out of the box for pics. (2 only). The other two still are sealed in the box and never removed. I will sell the set for $1,300, OBO, if anyone is interested. I also will include a short shifter I purchased from 928motorsports, still NIB, never installed.

I've tried to list as much as I can about it. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer as best as I can. I'm sure I left a few things out in this description. I'll try to get some other pics up as well and if you are a serious buyer and would like a specific pic, let me know and I'll get you your request.

(I'm selling this vehicle while I'm on deployment. I'm due back at the end of March, but I would like to have this completed before then so I can have time to spend on other projects while home for a short time. I have sold and bought other vehicles while being overseas. I actually bought this 928 while on deployment. So it's not an issue to conduct all the transactions over the phone and internet. Please call or send me a message if you are truly interested. 956-358-1842 cell. Please do not text as I'm overseas and I will not get them nor can I answer calls, but I can check my VM, so leave me a message and I will get back with you.)

All the best to those interested! Happy bidding!

Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 27 2018

The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.

Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?
