History:

In 2001 I started my search for this car.  My search criteria was simply blue exterior, tan interior and a manual transmission.  After almost two years of searching I found the car in California.  I spoke with the then owner, a county councilman.  He owned the car for over a decade of gently driven, dealer serviced, garaged miles.

As i live on the opposite coast, the owner sent many pictures.  Liking what I saw, I had a professional survey done...all good.

Next I sent a 928 specialty shop (Precision Motor Works) just outside LA and had the car completely serviced costing almost $7,000.00.  After tag and titling it I got a 1 way ticket to LAX, got picked up at the airport within a few hours began my 3000 mile coast to coast road trip home.  I drove very softly until I passed the Cumberland Gap and was in Maryland.  I then sped up to 165 for the one and only time I checked the cars top speed.  (The S4 model set the world land speed record at Bonnieville for a production car clocking in at over 171 MPH.  Made it from Los Angeles to Baltimore in just over 40 hours

Sent the car to Valley Porsche (dealership) for another check out oil change and new timing belt re-tensioned, where it was serviced exclusively until their Factory Trained Service Technician retired.  The service manager sent me to Ralph's Porsche Service and their Factory Trained 928 guy.

After making intake and exhaust upgrades I wanted to measure its performance numbers (and to spank my friends new 2005 M3) I took it  for it's one and only time at the track and ran 13.4.  

The car is very fast;
1987  928 S4 5 speed manual 5.0 liter 32 valve DOHC 316 hp/ 317 torque upgrade air filter 10, exhaust 25 engine mapping chip 10% power gain puts the car in the high 300's.

The car has been my short trip daily driver.  It is very dependable as it has always been maintained properly.  This car is one which needs to be maintained.  If you can not afford the maintenance you should not buy the car.  The 928, at least, this one,  will run perfectly for a lifetime provided it is properly maintained.  You, the buyer need to take this car to a Porsche Factory Trained Technician.   If you can not do the work yourself do not take it to some guy your friend knows who gave him a deal to fix his car.  Anything except someone who really knows this car is a recipe for disaster.  The future of this vehicle is important to both myself and the previous owner, it is a special example of a car ahead of it's time where manufacturers are just now starting to catch up.

Things I know the car needs.

I have a quote of $5,000 to repair the accident damage and to repaint the whole car.  The engine was not hit in the accident. The radiator and all front lights need to be replaced.  Car needs front clip replaced.  Repairs could possibly be less expensive but I only take my car to the best repair shop where I know and have seen high quality Porsche 928 collision repair.  The car could need other small accident related issues, such as, I know it needs a new master relay,front end alignment, etc... but overall the accident is relatively minor and fully/easily repairable. 
Rear tires
Windshield, not from accident, but a stone from the road
The car is 26 it is not new.  Anything else wrong I am unsure and this is not meant to be an all inclusive evaluation of the car.  It is an as/is sale.

The reason for the sale of the car is right around the time of the accident my business closed and I can not afford the repair, or the ongoing maintenance of the vehicle.

I am going to start the reserve for $3000.00, it's what I paid for the wheel and tire package alone.

Good luck and happy bidding.

This vehicle is always open for viewing and I highly suggest seeing the car in person or the use of a surveyor prior to bidding.  I am happy to update with any pictures requested.  Starting the listing with just one until I can get to the shop to take more.

Jack Olsen built a Porsche 911 to drive every day and conquer Willow Springs

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Almost two years ago we wrote about the 12-Gauge Garage Jack Olsen built to house his multifarious Porsche 911 - its 1972 bodywork hides four decades of Porsche parts, like the transaxle from a 1977 911 and the engine from 1995 911, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and has 272 horsepower, and Olsen uses it daily driving and for track days, the latter excursions featuring homemade, bolt-on aero parts. German magazine Auto Bild stopped by Olsen's house to look in on the Porsche called "Black Beauty II," and we get a few more details about the mods he's made, like swapping out for fiberglass body panels and welding Fuchs wheel centers to wider Corvette barrels so he could run different tires. Most importantly, though, Olsen divulges his passion for lowering his lap time at Willow Springs. Randy Pobst set the lap record for a production car around the 2.5-mile Big Willow track in a Porsche 918 Spyder at 1:23.54 during a Motor Trend test (the outright record, according to Willow Springs, is held by Michael Andretti at 1:06.050 in a CART car). Further down the list, Steve Millen drove a 415-hp 911 GT3 RS around the same track in 1:33.14 - a car 600 pounds heavier than Olsen's. Over the past 14 years of tinkering with his car, Olsen says his data shows his lap time is now down to 1:26.88, achieved on the day of filming the Auto Bild video. That time would put him in between the 1:26 flat posted by Dominik Farnbacher in a 608-hp Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR and the 1:28.93 put up by Pobst in a 400-hp, 991-series 911. You can hear Olsen tell it in his own words in the video.

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.

Porsche Classic puts modern navigation in older cars [w/video]

Mon, Feb 23 2015

People drive classic vehicles for many, many reasons. Maybe it's because they're cool, or they bring back memories, or perhaps they just want to take a trip back in time, before the days of adaptive cruise control, massaging seats and satellite navigation. You know, back to when driving was about, well, driving. Someone did not mention this reasoning to Porsche, because the German company has decided to offer the tiniest, most ridiculous in-dash navigation system we've ever laid eyes on, through its Porsche Classic line. Because, you know, people don't own smartphones nowadays. In fact, most smartphones are significantly bigger than Porsche's new nav setup. The touchscreen is just 3.5 inches in size, although its graphical layout is clean and in line with the company's more modern offerings. It also integrates a new entertainment system, which adds Bluetooth connectivity and a 4x45 watt amp. The system is being offered for a wide array of vintage Porsches, ranging from the most modern, air-cooled 993s, all the way back to the earliest 911. Four-cylinder and V8 models, as well as front and mid-engine cars, can be fitted with the nav system, too. Porsche Classic has priced the new system at the frankly absurd price of 1,184 euros ($1,344 at today's rates), though we're sure a large number will indeed be sold and installed. Dedicated US pricing is still pending. Check out Porsche's rather silly video of the system in action, available alongside the full press release below. This content is hosted by a third party.

PORSCHE CLASSIC BRINGS OUT NEW NAVIGATION RADIO FOR CLASSIC SPORTS CARS True-to-style upgrade with state-of-the-art technology Atlanta. Classic on the outside yet ultra-modern on the inside: with its newly developed navigation radio, Porsche is responding to the growing demand for a built-in device for classic sports cars. The purpose-built unit combines the style of yesteryear with the benefits of modern technology. It fits perfectly into the DIN-1 slot that has been used in the sports cars for decades and is operated by means of two knobs, six discreetly integrated buttons and a touch-sensitive 3.5-inch display. Thanks to the appearance of the black surface and the shape of the knobs, which are supplied in two authentically styled versions as standard, the navigation radio blends harmoniously into the dashboard of classic Porsche models.
