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!

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
