No Reserve: Two Owners, Parked In Storage 19 Years. Never Restored,112,831 Miles on 2040-cars
Fall Creek, Wisconsin, United States
Winning Bidder of the auction (when listed two weeks ago) claimed wife had seizures the night before the auction ended and so he was distraught and could not follow through with the purchase. Then a few days later he offered me $1000 instead of what he had bid for the closing bid (almost $4000) (His reasoning was because he would have to buy an airline ticket to come and pick up the car)...his user name is ncgems57, he will be blocked from bidding on any future auctions. The Porsche 928 won the European Car of the Year award for
1978, It came with aluminum doors which were galvanized for protection. Porsche
upgraded the V8 engine to the 295 Horsepower engine in 1980, this has always
been what created the name in performance for Porsche. If you read any of the
blogs of 928 owners, they all say it is simply an amazing car, with amazing
handling, and amazing speed. This Porsche originally sold for $37,930 Low Retail (by NADA standards) is $8,100 Average Retail is $11,400 While High Retail is $15,200 In its current condition this car is between Low and
Average Pricing by NADA standards. A new owner will NOT be disappointed! This car’s details: This is a beautiful 1980 928 Porsche that is still original,
never having undergone a restoration. The car has had two titled owners, with
the second buyer purchasing the car in 1985 and then changing the color from
Porsche brown to Porsche red. It was done very professionally which is still
apparent. Please note, there are some waterspots in the pictures, it had just rained shortly before I took them. Those are not flaws in the paint. Electric Windows & Seats & Locks. The Porsche has been parked inside storage now for almost 20
years, and is in excellent condition…but of course cannot be expected to be in
perfect condition. I will attempt to list the flaws I have found. First of all,
the car will require a new exhaust system (but truly sounds fantastic without
it). The car starts and runs would expect, before it would start the fuel pump
had to be changed from being stored for so long. It goes down the road just as
would be expected, and stops without problems…the headlights even go up and
down as would expected. The only four things that I can find that it needs
mechanically (besides the exhaust) would be better clean up under the hood to
include either cleaning or adding an additional spring to the throttle. Most of
the time it will pull back all of the way when you let it off the gas, but
sometimes it doesn't travel that last 1/8th of an inch for 15-20
seconds. The passenger window also doesn't go down (Electric windows, driver’s
works great). The electric antennae will also have to be replaced when a stereo
is added, there is no stereo currently. I do not remember if it has AC, I think
it does, but I know it is not charged, and I did not see the tach work when I drove it. As for the body as you can see in the pictures this car is
very clean…the only actual rust spot I could find is a dime size spot below the
rear window on the driver’s side. I also took pictures of the bottom of the
driver’s door which looks as if there eventually might be some paint peeling…the
door is galvanized, so I do not think it is due to rust, and the bottom of the
door is extremely clean. Again, I am simply trying to list everything I can
find so a new owner will not in any way be disappointed. Next, on to the interior…everything is leather, and for an
obvious reason this was one of the only years they also did the dashboard in
leather. As you can see in the picture as the leather dries it pulls at the
seams of the dash, and this one is no different. The interior also smells like
dry leather. The driver’s seat is comfortable, but you can tell the leather is
harder than it should be…the passenger one is even drier. I put leather
treatment on it, but do not really see a lot of difference. In the back seat,
one side has had a baffle replaced, and there are extra baffles that go along
with this auction. The center armrest in the backseat also has some leather
that has cracked and separated. All in all for an original car this is in excellent
condition, but it is also important to realize that it is not in perfect
condition. It will certainly make a collector proud, especially after giving it
a little TLC…but all of the TLC is minor stuff. I am not sure what else I can
say about the car, between what I have listed and what the pictures show…you
can certainly contact me if you want additional questions answered. |

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW to test autonomous cars, Korea bans sales of BMW, Nissan, Porsche models
Thu, Jan 5 2017BMW will test autonomous cars on public roads by the second half of 2017. The German automaker, with partners Mobileye and Intel, will operate a fleet of 40 self-driving vehicles using a "scalable architecture" that will be made available to other automakers. The partners plan to offer products ranging from key components to "a complete end-to-end solution" for autonomous driving. Since parting ways with Tesla, Mobileye also recently announced it would provide its technology to Lucid Motors. For BMW, it all leads up to its fully autonomous iNext model slated for introduction in 2021. See the video above, and read more in the press release from Intel. South Korea has banned the sale of certain models from BMW, Nissan, and Porsche over emissions cheating. Following an investigation, regulators determined emissions testing documents to be falsified. The country's Ministry of Environment has fined the three automakers a total of $5.9 million, and revoked the certification of 4,523 vehicles across banned 10 models. Six of the models were still on sale, while the other four have been discontinued. Read more from Automotive News Europe. China's prices for the Cadillac CT6 Plug-in are significantly higher than those announced for the US. The plug-in hybrid version of the luxury sedan recently went on sale with the two variants priced at RMB 558,800 and RMB 658,800. At the time of this writing, that's $80,420 and $94,812. Cadillac announced it would bring the CT6 Plug-In Í– which is built in China – to the US in the spring of 2017, starting at $76,090 before federal and local tax incentives. Hybrid Cars points out that China's own generous incentives could help to make it more competitive. The offering of a charger with free installation as well as an eight-year warranty on the electric powertrain should help, too. Read more at Hybrid Cars. A Connecticut court has ruled in favor of Tesla's gallery showroom in Greenwich. Last May, the Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association brought the suit to block the showroom on Greenwich Avenue, which has now been dismissed by the Connecticut Superior Court. Tesla cannot offer test drives, sell cars, or operate a Supercharger at the location, but it can sell other branded items and educate the public about its vehicles. It's possible that the issue of Tesla's direct sales model could come up again this year in Connecticut state legislature. Read more at Teslarati .
12 new cars that will never go out of style
Tue, Nov 23 2021Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool. Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless. These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot. There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.
Aston Martin renames Vantage GT3 after Porsche throws hissy fit
Mon, Mar 23 2015Porsche has a long history of using the name "GT3" for its hardcore, naturally aspirated 911 models, and that means it's certainly not going to share it with the likes of Aston Martin. See, it seems the arrival of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show didn't sit well with Stuttgart, which opted to lawyer up. According to Goodwood Road and Racing, attorneys from both sides of the Channel have been in discussion for months over the issue, with Porsche arguing it's been using the GT3 name since 1999, and that makes it theirs. Aston, though, argues that the FIA GT3 racing series makes the name fair game for road cars. Moreover, the Brits point out that the alphanumeric was in use well before Porsche got its mitts on it – GRR rightly points out the Lotus Esprit GT3 hit the streets three years before the 996 GT3. And while we're on the subject, Bentley has its own GT3, but we're guessing its status as one of Porsche's siblings means its immune to this kind of squabbling. Rather than getting into a knock-down, drag-out courtroom brawl with one of the Volkswagen Group's prized brands, though, Aston has taken the high road. The company will rechristen both the road-going Vantage GT3 and Vantage racer as the GT12. While Porsche is no stranger to aggressively protecting what it views as its closely held vehicle names, we have to admit, it seems like Aston actually has something of a case. Do you think the Brits were right to settle and change the Vantage's name, or should they have taken the fight to Porsche? Have your say in Comments.
