1987 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Laurel, Montana, United States
I've had this car for about 2 years now. I got the car in rough to average condition for a fair price. I spent about a year fixing up all of its many issues. I have full documentation and plenty of pictures to show the work i performed over time. I'm an ASE certified tech that does his own maintenance so no worries about faulty work should arise. The exterior paint shines and looks great, however there is a large blemish (cracked paint) on the rear left tail light, (a result of a previous owner), and some small blemishes on the passenger door ( my own doing, on accident of course.) As far as what has been refreshed and rebuilt, some of the main accomplishments have been the 4 speed auto trans-axle has been swapped out with a rebuilt unit (has about 5000 miles on it). The brakes have been completely refreshed, all the way from a new master cylinder to completely rebuilt calipers all the way around, accompanied by drilled and slotted rotors. The park brake shoes have even been replaced. I've replaced and cleaned up a lot of components to give the underside a brand new look. I've installed solid aluminum steering rack bushings for a sportier and more responsive turning experience. I've also installed a high performance X-pipe (supplied by 928 Motorsports) and have no catalytic converters; so if you plan on buying this be sure to plan on getting those or checking the laws in your area. I've replaced all the vacuum lines with silicone lines. For those who know of it, i have the Porken Klamp installed on the drive line at the fly wheel (this ensures no drive-line creep will press on the crank shaft and wear the thrust bearing, a common issue with this model). I've done a little custom upgrade to the interior for a more modern look. This includes an aftermarket MoMo Italy steering wheel, a few polished aluminum pieces, a new leather t-shifter hand with new aftermarket leather boot, and a brand new sound system that includes 6 speakers and one 12" sub-woofer (sub-woofer supplied with its own amp, which is a part of a presentable box custom made with leather wrap to match the interior.) The sound system is controlled and powered by a Kvt-514 head unit with a 7" pop-out display and I-pod, DVD, or Sirius satellite radio capabilities (also navigation.) I've also converted all interior lights to LED's. This includes all courtesy lighting and module lighting (HVAC, Central warning, instrument cluster, and Pod bezels.) The dash has cracks but has a custom cover to hide them. The passenger and driver seats both function properly, but the driver seat has normal wear due to people getting in and out of the car. Rear tires and shock-absorbers have been replaced very recently. The engine has had some custom paint work done to it (refer to picture) along with a flawless silicone belly pan gasket that has been guaranteed to last the life of the car. I have many parts that go to the car (stock steering wheel, a few new parts I haven't got around to installing, and the Porken Lift-bars) that i will be adding to this sale; If i don't have the car then I have no use for these parts.The car sits on stock 16" wheels, and for the most part really is stock. So that leaves any room for someone to change it to their liking. I'm interested in selling because i'd like to try a 911 out for a while.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands
Sat, May 11 2019One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.
