For sale at NO RESERVE I have owned this car for over 20 years. I bought it from a rich guy in Beverly Hills that lived next door to Jack Nickolson's house on Mulholland Drive. The car was not cheap to me at the time. He told me the original owner was Steven Spielberg but I have no documention to back this up. The car runs and drives like new. In fact, it has been my favorite car ever to drive. I have had newer SL Mercedes, Maseratis and other Porsches and this has been my favorite of them all - no lie! I had this car previously for sale about two years ago for $15,000 and it didn't sell. But I had some people come and look at it and drive it. One guy said it was the nicest one he has seen and it was by far the tightest example he looked at. And he said he had looked at quite a few. Unfortunately, my price was just too high at that time for him. I have been traveling quite a bit lately. I just don't have time for it any more. So I am now selling it at no reserve. I am traveling again in mid August so it is very import that the car sells next week, it is picked up/delivered and paid for no later than August 10th. The car is in very good condition. The black paint is glossy and there is not one dent or door ding on the car. Of course there is no rust or any silly like that and it has been in Southern California its whole life. The interior is nearly perfect and looks like new. The car has the rare and very expensive full leather package (over $4000 at that time). There are of course leather seats, but the entire door panels are lined and stitched in leather, as as pretty much every other surface including the headliner but not the top of the dash board. The instrument pod has a hair thin crack in it and it not really noticeable inside the car and hardly so on the outside. It was that way when I bought the car and it has not gotten any worse. Since it was not a big deal, I never replaced the pod. The transmission is a 4 speed and works like new. I have never had a engine or mechanical breakdown with the car in over 20 years that has let me stuck. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. In fact, I recently drove this car up in to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and it performed beautifully. It handles better than most new cars and everything from the suspension to the steering is very tight. The car runs and drives like new and puts to shame most cars built today. It has a monster sound system with 14 speakers and two amps. The eight speakers mounted in the car are original and then there is a box set in the rear that can be removed in about 20 seconds with six more speakers, including the bass woofers. The stereo is a top of the line Nakamishi and sounds great. I think Mr Spielberg wanted only the best. Being sold with the car is a new set of belts (all four aux belts plus the timing belt) and a new OEM Porsche waterpump. I was planning to do a service now but I decided to sell the car instead. All the window and sunroof work as they should. All glass has a security etch on it with the VIN. This was done back in the day when these cars were being stolen because it was one of the most expensive cars you could buy at the time. In fact, the MSRP with options was $55,000. Only cars like Ferraris and Aston Martins were more.. While the car looks and runs great, there are some little issues that need to be tended to to make it perfect - like the A/C stopped working about four years ago. It has a new compressor so I know it is not something big like that. Probably just needs a charge. And the ABS light on the dash is lit up. I was told that the system is pretty trouble free and the most likely cause is something like a loose wire on a wheel sensor. But there is no reason you couldn't drive the car across the country tomorrow. I would just change the oil and you would be good to go. The car is located in Perris California. The pictures I have posted are terrible but they are the only ones I had on this computer. I will take some better ones in the next day of so and post them. If you want more details, send me a message and I will respond to it with in 24 hours. If you are looking for 1986 1/2 Porsche 928S, you would be hard pressed to find a better example. You will not find a finer and tighter driving example than this one - guaranteed! Again, being sold at NO RESERVE!!!! If you are the winner of this auction, again, it is very important that the car is delivered no later than August 10th as I will be traveling after that.

This FL man accused of stealing drivers licenses has best tattoo ever
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Bentley and Porsche are two of the jewels in Volkswagen Group's luxury brand crown, but in Florida they also have a very tenuous connection with crime. With his multiple face and neck tattoos, including a Bentley logo right between his eyes, Derek Denesevich (pictured above) has been charged with the surprising crime of alleged identity theft. He recently surrendered to a Florida court, and could face seven years in prison, if convicted.
You might wonder where Porsche fits into this. According to the Sun Sentinel, Denesevich's accomplice was one Porscha Kyles, who worked for the Broward Clerk of Courts. She allegedly used her access to driver's license records to steal information and sell it to Denesevich. He is then accused of filing fraudulent income taxes to recoup the refund checks.
According to the Sentinel, Kyles has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy and identity theft and was sentenced to three years and one day in prison. The duo reportedly stole over 100 identities and made at least $120,000. Scroll down for a video about this pair of auto-related criminals.
Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
