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.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

The entire Porsche 911 history in under 90 seconds

Fri, Feb 12 2016

Over more than 50 years Porsche has taken a terrible idea - hanging an engine behind the rear wheels so that the car will try to go backwards through corners - and turned it into an automotive icon. One way that happened was keeping that unmistakable shape. As you'll see in the video above, the proportions are true to the original even with the relatively radical changes with recent models. The animation includes price and power figures, and even has the model designations, so you can keep up in conversation when a Porschephile starts rambling about random numbers.

Porsche 911 driven by McQueen on Le Mans set for auction

Mon, Oct 19 2015

Another piece of Porsche memorabilia from the movie Le Mans is going up for auction with Christie's at The Exceptional Sale on Nov. 4 in Paris. This is a 1971 911 T that Steve McQueen used as his personal car during filming - it is not the 1970 911 S seen in the movie's opening sequence. It is one of the Porsches provided by two-time Le Mans winner and stunt driving double Jo Siffert. McQueen's production company CBS Solar Films bought the 911 T from Siffert, one of four 911s CBS Solar bought from the Swiss driver for use in and during filming. McQueen gifted the car to co-star and leading lady Elga Andersen. When she died in 1994 she willed it to her best friend, and the friend sold it to the current owner, who put it up for sale. None of them put the car to much use, as it has only 28,637 miles on the odometer, which is fewer than 55 miles per month for the last 44 years. The pre-sale estimate for this car is $284,000 to $397,000. By comparison, the 911 S used in the movie's opening sequence sold at auction in 2011 at Monterey for $1,375,000. In addition to being a relative bargain in that case, it comes with a scan of the original contract from Siffert to Anderson giving her the car, and a picture of McQueen and his son Chad with the coupe.
