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 mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet

Tue, Oct 2 2018

The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 Â— and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.

Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames

Wed, 01 Jan 2014

Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
