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.

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.

McLaren P1 squares off against Porsche 918 in Evo track battle

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Evo's side-by-side comparison of the McLaren P1 against the Porsche 918 Spyder isn't the first time we've seen England and Germany's ultimate automotive weapons sized up together; last month, Autocar tested them over the standing mile, with a Ducati 1199 Superleggera playing the joker. Evo throws a few curves at its test, though, taking the supercars to Anglesey Circuit in Wales to see which will lay down the fastest lap time with scribe Jethro Bovington at the wheel. In case the numbers haven't yet been seared into your memory, while both are assisted by electric motors, the 3,069-pound, rear-wheel drive P1 gets on with 903 horsepower and 664 pound-feet from a 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. The 3,750-pound, all-wheel-drive 918 Spyder does its job with 795 hp and 575 lb-ft surging out of a naturally aspirated, 4.6-liter V8. We're not told know which circuit layout he uses for the test, but both cars comfortably eclipse the mark set by the fastest coupe Evo's driven around it so far, the Ferrari 458 Speciale. Then, in an epilogue occasioned by a tire change, one of the supercars comfortably eclipses its own time again, before Bovington declares one the master of the track and the other the ruler of the street. Enjoy finding out which is which in the video above.

Bugatti and Rimac joint venture profitable 'beyond expectations'

Thu, Dec 1 2022

WARWICK, England — The joint venture between Croatian electric carmaker Rimac and Bugatti has been far more profitable than anticipated as the two brands work on developing vehicles together under one roof, Rimac's top executive said on Wednesday. "It's highly profitable and cash flow positive beyond anybody's expectations," Rimac CEO Mate Rimac told Reuters in an interview at the UK offices of the carmaker's Rimac Technology unit in Warwick. "It's such a win-win situation for everybody." Rimac added the joint venture has brought "lots of synergies going both ways." The Rimac Group comprises the Bugatti-Rimac JV, producing the electric sportscar Nevera and the Bugatti Chiron — which is owned 45% by Porsche AG — and a technology unit which supplies battery systems and powertrain components to other carmakers. Earlier this year the group raised 500 million euros ($519 million) in a new funding round. Rimac's CEO said the company has developed a "really close strategic relationship" with Porsche, which was listed by its parent Volkswagen in October. Porsche holds a 20% stake in the Rimac group. "We are really collaborating on many levels, developing and producing lots of key elements of their (Porsche's) future hybridization and electrification," he said. Rimac's CEO said the group must become more like Ferrari with a predictable, stable and profitable business before it can contemplate an initial public offering. "They (Ferrari) make projections and they always achieve," he said. "What I want to have is some kind of stability and certainty before we do an IPO because we don't want to make promises we can't keep." An IPO could happen anytime from three years to a decade from now, and could involve going public as a group or spinning off a unit, he said, but is definitely coming because "we obviously have financial investors that at some point want to exit."
