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.

Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?
Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters
Thu, 29 May 2014Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.
