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.

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4

Thu, Apr 7 2016

On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
