1986.5 Porsche 928s Renegade Hybrid on 2040-cars

This 1986.5
Porsche 928 has had the engine replaced with a GM ZZ4 Crate Engine and was my
daily driver for several years until my circumstances changed such that I had
to drive over 100 miles per day. I parked it about two years ago and switched
to a more fuel efficient car. This Porsche was getting around 16 or 18 MPG.
Most everything worked when the vehicle was parked: Power Locks, Power Windows,
Power Seats, CD Player (although one side would occasionally go out because of
a poor connection in the harness), all the gauges work: Speed, Tach, Oil
Pressure, Temp, Fuel and Geer Selection ("D" does not light up, which
is pretty typical on this model and is a relatively easy fix). This sunroof was
seldom used and overtime started to bind so it will most likely need to be
lubed or fixed. Engine accessories are all readily available GM parts such as
alternator, AC Compressor and Power Steering pump. The engine is fueled by an
Edelbrock Carb utilizing the factory fuel return. The car set a long time and
only started occasionally to ensure that nothing is seized up so the fuel will
probably need to be flushed and replaced. I would assume that the carb will
need to be cleaned. The battery is also dead. Exterior
Condition: Both the passanger side front fender and driver side rear fender had
parking lot dings that were fixed and are in primer. There is also a spot on
the rear bumper where the paint started to delaminate. Other than that her body
is very straight. I've always liked the looks of 928s so I've kept it looking
original. Interior
Condition: I've seen 2 and 3 year old cars in worth shape than this one. When I
got the car it had a cracked dash so the dash was stripped and redone. The
leather is in good shape with a few scratches here and there but is otherwise
in good shape. This car was
a lot of fun to drive- ZZ4s put out in the neighborhood of 350HP. The
transmission shifted smoothly although it did have a whine, most likely related
to a torque tube that was replaced with aftermarket bearings but I could be
wrong. It's
possible that it can be driven away with a new battery and fresh fuel but considering how long it set would recommend that it's towed away and properly serviced first. It's hard to think of everything at once when it comes to this car so please ask questions, I'll try to answer them all. Please note: I do not know what the true miles are on this car. I've entered 100K becuase ebay requires that mileage is listed and my guess is that it's well under 100K miles. Thanks and
good luck. |

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
Porsche spotted testing next-gen Panamera in the snow
Thu, Jan 22 2015It's winter testing season in northern Sweden, and the latest spy shots our paparazzi on the ground have brought us is the upcoming Porsche Panamera testing in the cold and snow. The upcoming new four-door Porsche, spied wearing only minimal camouflage, appears to have a more elegant and sloping roofline than the existing model. Other details like the lights, mirrors and grille openings look fairly consistent with what we've been seeing on Porsche's other models as they've trickled out. Based on the new MSB platform, the new Panamera is set to share its underpinnings with the next Bentley Continental and possibly an Audi variant as well – though the prospect of a Lamborghini version to follow the Estoque concept seems to be off the table. The new platform will, however, make the new Panamera lighter than the current model. A new range of V6 and V8 engines are expected to provide motivation, driving the rear wheels or all four, along with the available e-hybrid system. Porsche's first four-door sedan was introduced in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013, so the all-new second-generation model should arrive sometime later this year or next as a 2017 model. This new model could provide the impetus for Porsche to put the Sport Turismo shooting brake version into production as well, and maybe – just maybe – a two-door coupe and possible convertible versions to follow in the footsteps of the 928.
'Latest production version' of Porsche 918 shown off on Twitter
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Porsche posted a picture of what it is calling "the latest production version" of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder on Twitter. It looks like the gasoline-hybrid supercar is being driven sportively on some California back roads during Monterey Speed Week.
Whatever updates were made to this version aren't visual (except for the paint), as the one Chris Harris drove last spring and another seen hot-weather testing in Nevada both had production bodies. We presume the changes are relatively minor and more than skin deep - perhaps brake calibration, suspension tuning or tweaks to the powertrain - but Porsche didn't release any more information.
The 918 Spyder is Porsche's latest supercar, which will compete with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 hybrid supercars. The Porsche may be the underdog of the group when considering horsepower, acceleration, top speed and price, but the 887-horsepower brute has the most advanced hybrid drivetrain of the three.
