Clean 1987 928 S4 for sale. no trades. I've owned the car for 7 years

car has LSD, 12 way power seats, auto transmission

aftermarket:
RMB (rear muffler bypass sounds deep and throaty; puts a smile on your face every time you start it up)(don't have the muffler anymore)
Momo Steering wheel and Shifter dyed to interior burgundy color.
Hi intensity headlights, 
$1200 windshield with radio antenna, 
aftermarket CD/radio with removable faceplate

condition: clean car. I haven't tracked the car. It was one of a number of old or classic cars I have or hard and didn't use it much up until the last year or two
paint: is original I believe but I think the front bumper had been resprayed before I bought it. Paint shows good up up unitil a foot away. has some chips all round. has spider crack around rear pass. lens, (see picture)  light scratches in various places. but for a 27 year old car with original paint, I think it shows good. 
interior is very good. new front seats; has a dash pad split over instrument cluster which was repaired but it came back (see picture).


Last 7 year maintenance history (I have all the major service receipts, most parts purchased from 928 International) 

I bought the car in March 2007 with 79k miles and it needed alot of work.

Here's what I did in 07 at 80k miles ( closer to $10k than $5k) 

Engine:
timing belt and new water pump
new expansion tank
fuel filter
new alternator

suspension and steering:
shocks and springs all around (boge)
replaced pressurized power steering hose
rebuilt power steering rack
alignment

a/c
head unit (x 2) 

12/2011  at 84k service and upgrades ($5k plus) 
Major brake service:
front brake rotors, discs and pads
rear parking shoe set
front and rear brake pad sensors
resurface rear rotors
new master brake cylinder 
fuel filter

new OEM front seats (covers) 

2012: replaced all four gas struts (engine bay and hatchback)

numerous other small repairs over the past 7 years (sunroof switch, rear hatchback switch, engine hood pad, etc.)

tires and wheels:
Black wheels purchased in February 2013 from Tire Rack (forgot what they are)
tires are all about a year and a half old with only a few thousand miles.no appreciate wear
fronts and rear passanger are Failkens. Driver's rear is a similiar tread Dunlap. Needed a quick tire change and there was a delay
in getting another Failken, so I had the closest one put on. Haven't noticed any difference in the last year, so I haven't replaced the 
Dunlap. 

recent new battery (in the past 6 months)
it's got a trickle charger plugged into the battery.

recent service (last month)

oil change (full synthetic) 
fixed brake sensor light via electric harness repair
steering shaft bushing replaced


Known issues:
heater control valve inoperative. a/c works excellent. heater doesn't unless the valve is manually closed which is a pain. It doesn't get cold enough in Northern California for me to worry about heat so I don't mess with it

at the service last month, I had  my well regarded porsche shop go through the care since I was planning on selling it and he noted the following as recommendations:

v belts and rib belt
crack in oil cooler hoses
seeping trans cooler hoses
leak res to pump hose

The car doesn't leak anything to the ground and needs no fluilds top off. 

I'm going to let the new owner decide which if any of these recommendations to attend to. 

Reason for sale:
I moved to california not too long ago and I wanted a modern convertible porsche, so I bought a 996 t cab. I don't have room to keep the 928. If I did I wouldn't sell it because it's a fun and classy car and I have so much money into it (probably between 15 and 18k in maintenance and upgrades)

car is registered in Texas, but currently in the Sacramento Ca. area.

I have a couple air filters, one oil filter and the linen and burgandy dyes for the interior which are included. I have two keys and it has the owners manual, spare tire, compressor, tools, custom front windshield reflector).  


No trades

Car can be picked up by buyer or carrier in Davis, Ca.

very nice car, wish I had room to keep it or a place to store it.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

Porsche 911 Targa 4S special makes us want to go Dutch

Mon, Apr 20 2015

There's a long list of things that make us love the Netherlands, and not all of them involve activities that would be illegal in most of the United States. Like this latest special edition Porsche 911, for example. Unveiled at AutoRAI 2015 – Holland's premier car show that opened last week – the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Zuffenhausen's iconic partial convertible. It's decked out in Gulf blue, but instead of contrasting with bright orange, nearly everything else on this special Elfen is blacked out: The 20-inch Fuchs-style alloys, the throwback quarter-panel racing stripes, the LED headlight frames... everything but the signature Targa roof bar, which keeps its brushed metal finish. The interior is rather more subdued than you'd find on most special editions, with throwback houndstooth fabric seats and silver stitching. Power comes from the 3.8-liter boxer-six driving 400 horses to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sport Chrono Package Plus, a sports exhaust, adaptive suspension and Bose audio system are all fitted as standard. Options include carbon-ceramic brakes, a seven-speed manual transmission and a 30-horse Powerkit. As the name suggests, though, this is a rather exclusive edition indeed. All fifteen examples will be made available exclusively in the Netherlands, priced from ˆ223,230 with the PDK or ˆ229,500 with the manual. That's more than you'd pay for a 911 Turbo Cabrio in the same country, and works out to more than $240k at today's conversion rates.

Chris Harris gets filthy in a WRC-ready Porsche 911 RGT

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Last time we rode with Chris Harris we were shotgun in the tan leather seat of his used-yet-immaculate Ferrari FF. This time we're strapped into a black racing bucket of a filthy Porsche 911 rally car, one that led Harris to effuse, "I don't think I've driven a more exciting car this year, hypercars included." The thrills come courtesy of a 997-series Cup Car that's been reworked by Tuthill Porsche to run in the RGT-class rally series that will piggyback on five World Rally Championship and European Rally Championship races this year. It's not quite the Rothmans Dakar monster, but the RGT series gives privateers an affordable way into rallying with cars that look different and are different from one another. This one kept its 3.8-liter, 444-horsepower 997 Cup engine, but the 39-milllimeter restrictor drops that to about 350 hp. Beyond that are a new rollcage, gear ratios, suspension, fuel tank, underfloor protection and just about everything else. Said the man who built it, it cost "a lot, and it's still costing." But Harris says even though you "have to have your wits about you," it's a hoot to drive. And this is one of the few times you'll hear the phrase "What a tool!" used as a compliment.
