Hello-
Im selling my 1986 porsche 928s black on black. I purchased from the original owner and the car has all reciepts since new, a clean title, and even the window sticker. on the cars history it was reg'd in several states but that is because the orig owner moved around and took it with him as evidenced by the receipts i have back to 1986 all with the same name on them.
the car is very nice looking it is black, it has small dents and scratches here and there but presents well. no accidents are listed for the car and the car appears to have its original paint other than a small area on the passenger rear qrtr. which looks like a very good small repair there (ie you cannot tell by looking at the car, you have to inspect the passenger door jam and you see a small paint seam.) car has zero rust and was garaged its whole life.
the interior is black leather and fully operable. there are no tears in the leather, only very small cracks here and there on plastic knobs, etc. dash is very very clean. interior presents very well. the AT stick for some reason bumps into the sunroof button behind it when you shift into 1st or 2nd. there is zero problems with the transmission, it shifts very well, this is just some of the plastic may be slightly warped.
engine runs very well, i drive it daily and have zero issues--I am selling as i imagined id make this into a track car but it is such a nice example i cant bear to alter it, plus its an AT, so i bought a 335i for the track instead.
I took it to my porsche mechanic and he says the car is a solid driver and looks nice. the timing belt was replaced 2k miles ago but it was 7 years ago, ive chosen not to replace yet as the cars been driven lightly and s it was just replaced 2 miles ago, but he says if it were him, he would do all the belts to be safe. he also says there is some oil seepage here and there. im sure thats normal for a 1986 car. I have zero oil marks in my garage ever from the car and my level never goes down so you are fine. he also says the front AC does not work but the rear AC does work. (this car was optione with an extra cooling package) . I just tried the front AC and it was indeed working so the front AC may be intermittant. it works for me but porsche mechanic says did not for him.
car is great, only has 66k miles on it, looks so so cool turns heads!! you can drive from here to LA no problem, its reliable. I would either drive it as it and/or restore it due to its fully documented history and hell i even have the original valet key and a car cover.
I will not ship this overseas, if you are overseas you need to have someone come see me in person and give me cash and take the car. you can come see the car in person in oakland. I do not have time to f around with you driving the car all over, etc. so if you want eyeballs on it, come see it.
I feel I have been very honest in my description, and have probably knocked the car harder than it needs to be knocked. its a no reserve auction, if you win you need to send me 1k within 24hrs, and the balance and pick within a week. 
cheers
oh I forgot--I have a set of 1987 s4 staggered wheels on there that i just had re-chromed and BRAND NEW bridgstone RE-11's 225/245 mounted ( :
car also comes with its original wheels which are same style but not staggared

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
