1989 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l Auto Enthusiast Owned High Quality Machine on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
I have been a 928 enthusiast since 1978 and this 1989 928 S4 was my car from 2004 to 2009. I own a Porsche repair shop for the last 30 yrs. I purchased this car in 2004 with a dropped camshaft timing belt. I fell in love with the look and condition of the car and decided to repair it to the max and keep it as my personal car. Making that decision, I spared no expense, removing the cylinder heads to inspect pistons and cylinders for any damage and they were found to be perfect and so the mechanical restoration began.
1. Cylinder heads received complete valve job, valve guides/seals, resurfacing, light porting of exhaust ports and polished combustion chambers. All gaskets and seals replaced with the latest greatest version. 2.In the process all electrical sensors were replaced with new OE Porsche pieces. All new fuel injectors OE, fuel pressure dampeners and regulator, fuel lines and vacuum lines, etc. 3.Intake manifold and cam covers disassembled, stripped and powder coated. 4. Replacement of both camshaft chains and tensioners, cam belt, all cam belt sprockets, rollers and water pump. 5.Replacement of distributor caps, rotors, sparkplugs, both ignition modules, and high performance spark plug wires. 6.All new hoses, belts, radiator, NEW Porsche AC compressor, expansion valve and hoses to compressor (retained R12 freon) 7.Amsoil synthetic oil, lube, ATF used throughout car, silver ceramic coated MSDS headers with X-pipe and high flow cats. 8.Both parking/fog light assemblies replaced with new assemblies which are now no longer available! 9.Front wheel bearings/seals replaced and Amsoil synthetic lube used. 10.All plastic inner fenders replaced with NEW ones on both front wheels. 11.Both under engine shields replaced with NEW OE Porsche ones, the metal shield is now no longer available. 12.Total CV rear axle rebuild with new CV joints, boots, flanges. The axles themselves I had black powder coated. 13 Fuel pumps replaced with new factory Porsche OE, new fuel lines, filter and the metal shield under the fuel pump/filter assembly I had black powder coated. 14.Mirrors and clock upgraded to GTS mirrors and clock(these were new pieces not used) Pricey Improvements that make big visual impact!! 15.New roof radio antenna 16.Transmission and torgue converter drained and filled with Amsoil synthetic ATF, new seal and filter, transmission pan black powder coated. 17.Rebuilt steering rack installed In the process of all these repairs, care was given to clean up and improve the area being worked on to make it look new as well. I have probably left out a lot of other things, parts and pieces that were done, but you get the idea of what has gone into this car and how its been cared for. Included in the pics is my folder of near $15,000. in just parts that went into this car. If I had kept track of my labor it surely would have approached that same cost figure. Presently, Im selling this car for my customer who purchased it from me in 2009. He is an executive for BNSF Railroad and has lightly used the car over the past few years. As mentioned above, the AC has lost freon and not cooling and he does not wish to repair at this time. With all that was replaced on the AC system I suspect a leaking line/connection. Make your offers knowing this problem exists and that some normal maintenance should be done. Sean Ratts, the 928 Doctor, has looked at this car and can verify condition etc. I am a member of the 928 Owners Club and PCA.Please contact me for any additional info that you would like to know. THIS CAR IS SOLD IN "AS IS" CONDITION AND THE BUYER ACCEPTS THIS CAR IN "AS IS" CONDITION, NO WARRANTY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS LISTING AT ANYTIME SHOULD THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. A $500.00 PAY PAL DEPOSIT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY UPON WINNING THIS VEHICLE AND IS NON REFUNDABLE. THE BALANCE MUST BE PAID IN CASH OR CHECK WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF WINNING UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH SELLER. IF THE BALANCE IS PAID BY CHECK, THE CHECK MUST CLEAR TO MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL BE RELEASED TO THE BUYER. THANK YOU Please do not make ridiculous offers as they will be laughed at and discarded |

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans
Sat, 22 Jun 2013The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
