1985 Porsche 928S, 5.0 32 valve 288 hp V-8, 5 speed, A/C blows cold, 49,500 miles. This is a very nice Porsche 928 that drives great, steers, stops, shifts, idles and revs up like it should. It's a Porsche would be proud to own and can drive anywhere in comfort with cold a/c and excellent handling. No mods, 100% stock (except for the Alpine am/fm cassette radio which works great). I have all service records back to 1988. Tools are all there, as is the spare and jack. I have the owner's manual, but not the service book. The car is rust free.

I spent the last year getting all systems totally up to snuff, enhancing the driving experience and reliability. I decided to replace the timing belt 4/17/14 so wouldn't have any concerns, overkill I know. Here's a sample of some but not all of the recent service work performed:

49,380 miles 4/17/14; Timing Belt, 4 new Continental perf. tires, oil & filter (water pump inspected, perfect shape and no leaks, 20,000 miles since new, mechanic advised to leave it alone). Yes, you can call the mechanic...
46,787 miles 8/9/13; new lower ball joints, rebuild all four brake calipers, new brake hoses, new battery
46,641 miles 5/23/13; A/C compressor, hoses, receiver dryer, flush and fill with R134a
40,799 miles 6/2/11; Timing belt and rollers, fan clutch, other misc.
37,377 miles 9/11/09; motor mounts, complete clutch R&R, clutch master cylinder
28,507 miles 3/6/02; Timing Belt, water pump, misc.

The paint is very nice, nearly excellent, has only the most minor and hard to find tiny scratches, maybe 4 total (and not touched up). Mostly original factory red paint, some repaint long ago on the lower right door. Shiny all around, no fading anywhere. The rear spoiler in in fine shape. The rear bumper cover was also repainted 7/21/11 after a stoplight bump at a cost of $1,400, the match is perfect. The paint is a 9 of 10 overall. The doors open and close with vault like precision, electric door locks work.

Glass is good all around, no chips or dings, both side windows go up and down with ease. The rear hatch and hood stay up with gas shocks as they should. The front wipers work as does the rear wiper work. The cruise control works. The underside of the hood still has the original hood pad insulation. The sunroof open and closes as it should, all gauges and light work perfectly. I changed out the headlamps the the later version USA spec 8" units.

The interior is exceptionally clean and shows wear consistent with miles. No rips or tears, seats are nearly perfect, as are door panels, all carpets in very good/ clean shape. Dash pod has one crack front to back, otherwise exceptionally nice. Stock 16" wheels show some etching from previous owners use of harsh wheel cleaner. Clean and rub with Vaseline and the streaks go away and the wheels are very presentable.

Mechanically, the engine starts easily and idles smoothly at correct rpm, runs well cold or hot, no overheating, electric fans comes on, no oil consumption can be observed between oil changes. No big drips on the garage floor when parked, but a couple of dime size ones after sitting a week. Shifting is smooth and no noise or grinding, in any gear, up or down. Clutch pedal is easy to operate, clutch take up is smooth, starts engaging halfway thru pedal travel. One item that does not work as new (the only item I can think of) is the reverse lockout feature. Power assisted brakes are immediate and progressive, very confidence inspiring. The ride is firm but not jarring as it should be. Power steering is precise, alignment done 4/127/14 with new tire install.

This is a very good high performance Porsche 928...and a 5 Speed WITH LOW MILES! Red and tan leather/ brown dash and carpets, nice color combo. V-8 power an torque...cold a/c..AND IT'S A 5-SPEED.

I highly recommend you invest the time to see the car in person, or send someone to see it. We have a lift if you want see the (rust free) chassis, etc. Clear title in hand, cash only, no trades, etc. Fly into BWI, drive it home when your funds clear. Ask for my number if you're serious about the car.

Other questions, please ask.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.
