For Sale is my 86.5 Porsche 928. Car is very clean and runs Excellent! I have owned the car for about 8 years and it has been a great car. I believe I am the 3rd owner of the car and the Odometer shows 56,705 although it stopped working shortly after I purchased the car. The speedometer functions perfectly, only the odometer has stopped. This is very common on the older gear driven speedometers, so chances are if you are looking at an older 928 it has had this issue at some time in its life. In any case, I drive this car less than around a 1000 miles a year, so the car probably has in the low to mid 60's on it at this time.
Upgrades include a set of RH 18" wheels which cost around $3500.00 and a set of Dunlop Sport tires ( almost $1000.00). Wheels and tires have around 2000 miles on them and are in excellent shape and show no tread wear or curb rash etc. I have changed the oil religiously yearly with Mobil 1 and is always covered and stored correctly when not in use. The timing belt was replaced before I purchased the car at around 50,000 miles per conversation with prior owner before I bought it, although I don't have any paperwork on it ,but I believe him as he was very mechanical and kept the car in good running order. 2 years ago I had the car gone through by an independant Porsche mechanic, replacing bad vacuum lines as well as a full tune with new plugs filters, etc as well as misc.other things and have a receipt totaling around $2600.00. At that time timing belt was checked and retensioned and had a clean bill of health. I also had the windshield replaced about 2 years ago and is perfect with no chips or pitting. Car passed Colorado emissions last year as well as in all previous years, and as noted before runs excellent. The transmission shifts firmly and perfectly and has never had any issues. Air conditioning does NOT blow cold and I have never had the issue addressed so don't know if it's as small as a recharge or if it is more complex. It is not typically hot enough here in Colorado for air most of the time so I never looked into it as it was not a priority. All windows function properly and electric seats function although drivers side seat needs a seat switch cover as the front one is missing.
The factory stereo had been replaced with a Pioneer head unit, and there is a sub box in the back with an amp and 2 12" subs, although that can be removed easily if you are not into that sort of thing. I must say that it does sound extremely good though! Interior is in very clean condition, with all leather in good shape,with no separation or tears and only slight (and I mean very slight) wear on the drivers seat bolster. Carpet is excellent as well. Dash has a couple of typical small cracks and the car currently has a dash matte cover. I would rate the interior at an 8.5 or 9 on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best. Exterior of car is still in original paint and very nice for its age. It does however have some small rock chips and pitting on the front bumper area, and a couple of small dings on the hood that were there when I purchased the car ( see photo) they are not very large and are only noticeable when you are close, but I did want to disclose them. The car overall is very straight, but it has a very small door ding on the passengers door (again only can see up close and at certain angles) The only other surface defect is on the left rear quarter above the rear wheel well there is a very small dent and a 1-2" long surface scratch, again not major but I am trying to describe the car best as possible. I would rate the exterior at about a 7.5-8 with 10 being perfect. Overall car is considerably better than average.
I have been around 928's for quite awhile, and this is the third one that I have owned and the best one of the three. If you are looking for a reasonably nice 928 for a reasonably good price, this should end your search. Is the car perfect? No, there are Very few of those and you definitely won't find one for under 10 grand, but this one is about as nice of one as you will find in this price range. I have decided to sell this and move on to something else, and it should make someone a very good car for quite some time. I am including several pictures, as the old adage goes that a picture is worth a thousand words is true here. I have watched the 928 market for some time and am pricing mine at what I feel is a realistic price for what it is worth, although I am open to serious offers. I am not interested in giving the car away as it is much too nice to do so, so only reasonable and serious offers will be considered.
If you have any questions I can be reached by phone at (970) 310-8861 and I would be happy to answer any or all questions. I have a free and clear Colorado title in hand, and will require a $500.00 deposit Via Paypal within 24 hrs of purchasing and payment in full within 7 days or at time of pickup, whichever comes first. Final payment will be via certified funds or cash. Buyer will be responsible for shipping and transportation of the vehicle, although I will assist as much as possible on this end. I am located in Loveland Colorado about an hour north of Denver, and vehicle is available for inspection at any time. Again thanks for looking, Mark

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good
Thu, Jan 23 2014Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 18 2016Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
