1986.5 Porsche 928s Renegade Hybrid on 2040-cars
Antioch, Tennessee, United States

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. |

Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
Chris Harris gets filthy in a WRC-ready Porsche 911 RGT
Thu, Jan 15 2015Last time we rode with Chris Harris we were shotgun in the tan leather seat of his used-yet-immaculate Ferrari FF. This time we're strapped into a black racing bucket of a filthy Porsche 911 rally car, one that led Harris to effuse, "I don't think I've driven a more exciting car this year, hypercars included." The thrills come courtesy of a 997-series Cup Car that's been reworked by Tuthill Porsche to run in the RGT-class rally series that will piggyback on five World Rally Championship and European Rally Championship races this year. It's not quite the Rothmans Dakar monster, but the RGT series gives privateers an affordable way into rallying with cars that look different and are different from one another. This one kept its 3.8-liter, 444-horsepower 997 Cup engine, but the 39-milllimeter restrictor drops that to about 350 hp. Beyond that are a new rollcage, gear ratios, suspension, fuel tank, underfloor protection and just about everything else. Said the man who built it, it cost "a lot, and it's still costing." But Harris says even though you "have to have your wits about you," it's a hoot to drive. And this is one of the few times you'll hear the phrase "What a tool!" used as a compliment.
