1986.5 5-speed Porsche 928 S Turbocharged 22,900 Miles, 2-owner Concours Gt Gts on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:22920 Color:
Location:

Austin, Texas, United States

Austin, Texas, United States

Parting with my beloved after 7 years of great car shows, OCIC, and ThirdCoast Events, usually placing/winning entered events including another 1st place at the regional annual 928 Third Coast show last weekend.

 You will NOT find a nicer, cleaner, shinier, better-preserved, faster, better head-turning 928 this year.

 1986.5 = Last of the S-styled 928's but with the S4 brakes (Brembo 4 piston all 4 corner with S4 front Brembos), and S4 suspension. Lighter than an S4 and easier to work on as well. about 2500 86.5's made (feel free to correct me) with about 80% being automatic, so only about 500 5-speed cars. 

 No wrecks, never been disassembled (engine or body) for any reason  

Imported in Cali, shipped to the northeast US for a while, then to Honolulu where I purchased in Hawaii in 2006 with 10,700 miles from first owner Had been washed 20x and waxed 3 (yes, he knew). Porsche of Honolulu wouldn't take my $ for a PPI: car was known by all in the shop to be basically as-new....even the 20-year old t-belt! I have scans of both the original title from Hawaii (from the original owner) and of the car the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

 Original window sticker $54,900 new in '86. Window sticker is now hard-laminated and included with sale. Red/black, some leather options such as rear seat backs, door sills, and rear quarters. Mink-oil conditioned Leather is 10/10, interior is 10/10. It is as-new in all respects: texture, softness, stitching, coloration, no stretching, etc. Only the radio unit has been modernized and the ashtray replaced with an AEM Wideband gauge and an AEM TruBoost boost controller. Original ashtray will be included in sale of car, though car has NEVER been smoked in and still smells new. 8-way power on both seats Stored in my Air Conditioned garage and rarely sees sunlight. Yes, the dashboard is perfect. Car did ship to original owner with both a vinyl and a leather sunvisor: weird. 

Rare side-molding delete option on an exquisite exterior 9.5/10 condition after 27 years. Paint ONLY receives the oily Natty's Red Paste wax to help preserve it's perfectly colored and sun-protected Guard's Red paint and all black trim/rubber seals. Never buffed, no paint burns. Rear-driver's 3/4 shot shows touched up scuffs from original owner. There are a few paint blemishes but overall presentation is stunning and there are panels on the which remain showroom perfect in all respects. No rock chips (except for mirrors which is common), just a few rock scuffs. All lenses, glass, seals, trim, rubber are as-new as if just rolled off the assembly line except for the lower door seals where a linear crack is evident as they are on all 928’s purely based on the pressure placed on them over the last 27 years. Seal itself is perfect and does not accumulate wax nor is the crack noticeable; it’s just there so I must disclose that.

 

Turbocharger kit was installed in 2007: a single Dual-ballbearing T67mm Precision unit with the kit manufactured by Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts - Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts and myself. Tuned to 405rwhp/400rwtq at mere 5.5psi with custom timing chips by Sharktuner and an SMPT-6 piggy back fuel tuner. A Bosch 044 fuel pump and new fuel filter was added in ’07 during kit installation.  No lag, great sound, super reliable as I’ve not adjusted/touched a single aspect of the turbo kit since it’s installation in ’07.

 

Dual air conditioning converted to R134a by the Honolulu dealership back in '99. 

 

Butter-smooth shifting 5-speed with Original clutch. I've owned 5 other 928's including the pictured race car: this car drives/shifts as-new in all respects. Other items: 3M tint, 3M clear bra, retrofitted HID Fogs in factory housings. Lloyd's "turbo" 928 floor mats, adjustable sway bar, front Koni's, original brake rotors and pads, 18x10 & 18x8 Sport Edition Cup wheels (245/35), and 295/30 road race R888's in the rear because spinning the tires at 80mph tends to drain your adrenaline pretty quick. 

 

No oil leaks. Maintenance: 2006 when received: t-belt, idler bolt bushings, all fluids flushed (redline, ATE Super blue, G05 w/water wetter and a 75 degree t-stat), new ignition wires, plugs (for turbocharging). New tie rods and delrin bushings at PS rack + alignment to sharpen steering after lowering 1.25"

 

2007: turbo kit, front Koni's, epoxy-painted calipers, SS brake lines, ATE Super blue. OIl changed every 2k miles: Valvoline Racing 20/50 with OE Porsche filters.

 

Factory air box, air tubes, catalytic converters available with car...car passed Texas emission testing EASILY while turbocharged...without cats. Video's available on Youtube under PorscheMark69 

 

All records, hard-laminated window sticker, factory books/manuals, luggage cover, cargo net, three keys, and OEM '86 Porsche car cover all included with sale. 

 

open to other '85-00 Porsche partial trades

 

Will deliver within 200 miles of Austin, Texas, otherwise buyer responsible for shipping. $1000 deposit due within 48hrs of auction close via Paypal. Balance to be handled in diligent time as worked out post-auction. 

This car is known to be the lowest mile 86.5 in the country.  It’s probable that it’s nicer than any GTS you may be looking at  currently…so why pay more for a car that’s not in as good of condition and is slower or worse, is an automatic. You REALLY want the 5-speed…makes all the difference on 928s!

It's reserve is priced accordingly but is also the best out there in addition to the low mileage. It's light, fast, not too quiet, smooth, classic, it handles, it brakes, and draws attention wherever it goes. I reserve the right to cancel this auction due to it being posted on the PCA national site as well as a few other places. Email me if you really want it now. :)  Good luck.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.

Where to watch and follow the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year

Fri, Jun 13 2014

In less than 24 hours the flag will drop on Audi's title defense at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Toyota's best ever chance to win and Porsche's return to le grand defi. The Le Mans organizers have kept as au courant with broadcast options as they have with power unit technology, so you'll be able to find a place to watch or listen no matter what your preferred method. Friend-of-Autoblog Reilly Brennan has again put together an exhaustive "couch kit" of viewing options, which you can check out at his site. Here's the short list: Le Mans Site Le Mans TV Le Mans Facebook page Le Mans Twitter page FIA WEC Live timing Audi Sport stream Corvette Racing stream Nissan NISMO stream Entry list and grid Spotter's Guide You can watch or listen to the excellent Radio Le Mans, app, Autosport will have hourly updates and a live blog, the ACO has a Le Mans app. Fox will broadcast the event over a combination of Fox Sports 1, 2 and its Fox Sports Go App from 8:30 EST Saturday morning until 9:30 am EST Monday morning. Hit up Reilly Brennan's site for even more options and details like Eurosport and Daily Motion, and good watching – this should be a spectacular race.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
