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

Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks wicked, this way comes
Thu, Dec 11 2014Those who didn't think Porsche went extreme enough with the latest 911 GT3 likely won't be disappointed when the more focused GT3 RS arrives. And as you can see from these latest spy shots, it looks like it's speeding right around the corner. Tipped to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is shaping up to be an enthusiast's dream - and with the prospect of a GT2 in doubt, could be the most hardcore Elfen in the range. Instead of the 3.8-liter flat-six in the current GT3, the new RS will pick up where the previous limited-edition GT3 RS 4.0 left off, with four naturally aspirated liters of unadulterated boxer power channeling a good 520 horses to the rear wheels. That will be a significant increase over the existing 475-hp GT3 and will match the 911 Turbo for output (if not the 560-hp Turbo S) and without any turbo lag to slow down the action, either. Whether it will keep the GT3's dual-clutch gearbox and four-wheel steering system, or ditch one or both for a more analog approach, remains to be seen, but we're holding out hope. Either way, the modifications to the bodywork ought to make the GT3 RS stand out even further and stay glued to the race track it will call home. Notice the deep front splitter scooping up snowflakes like a shovel, a massive rear wing (which may or may not be the final production version), the Turbo-spec rear end with air intakes ahead of the rear wheels, and a set of awesome-looking gills over the front wheels – all of which you can scope out in the gallery full of spy shots above.
Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
