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.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

Porsche releases special edition 911 GTS Club Coupe

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Porsche is never afraid to add one more variant of the 911 to the lineup, but its latest inclusion to the range is being kept extra limited, to keep things super special. The automaker is building just 60 examples of the 911 GTS Club Coupe, and only members of the Porsche Club of America can order them. The organization fittingly celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Prices for 59 of the cars start at $136,060, plus $995 destination, with deliveries in June, and club members can win the last car (the showcar) as a prize. Mechanically, these vehicles take the 430-horsepower engine, wider body and rest of the updates from the regular 911 GTS, but all of these come in a unique color called Club Blau. The cobalt shade gets set off with black frames around the bi-xenon headlights, tinted taillights and black chrome exhaust outlets. The limited coupes also get a vintage-inspired ducktail rear spoiler and 20-inch Sport Classic wheels in a mix of semi-gloss black and polished metal that evoke the look of the classic Fuchs wheels on older 911s. For added contrast inside, the seat stitching, seat belts and tachometer are offset in red. Plus, the trim for the dashboard, doors and center console features carbon fiber. Capping things off, a plaque reading "GTS Club Coupe 60 Years Porsche Club of America" is near the glovebox. Being a Porsche, there are still options on these special models. The Extended Club Coupe Package goes so far as to include the key painted in Club Blau and adds leather-edged floormats. A custom car cover is also available. Check out the gallery to pick out all of the stylish tweaks for these celebratory 911s. GTS CLUB COUPE REVEALED IN THE NEW PCNA HEADQUARTERS AT ONE PORSCHE DRIVE Porsche celebrates 60th anniversary of Porsche Club of America with limited-edition 911 model Atlanta. Celebrating six decades of the largest Porsche club organization in the world, Porsche Cars North America is commemorating this milestone with a 60 unit limited-production run of the Club Coupe based on the 911 Carrera GTS. Known as the GTS Club Coupe, the 430 hp sports car is painted in a color unique to this model appropriately named "Club Blau," which was created exclusively for this anniversary edition by the Porsche Club of America.

VW won't let emissions scandal keep it from racing

Sat, Nov 28 2015

The Volkswagen Group may have its hands full dealing with the diesel emissions scandal. But that doesn't mean it will be curbing its considerable racing programs. At least not in any significant way. This according to Matthias Muller, who recently moved up from his previous position as Porsche CEO to preside over the entire group. Speaking with Autosport at the World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain this past weekend, Muller emphasized the importance of racing to the company. "The motorsports programs are not in danger of being dropped or significantly reduced because motorsports is very important for the group and the brands," said Muller. "Basically we do not question our motorsport efforts." Of all the brands under the group's umbrella, several have prominent, top-level factory works racing programs, and others support customer racing teams. The Volkswagen brand has emerged as the dominant force in the World Rally Championship, securing both titles over the past three years. Both Porsche and Audi compete in the top tier at Le Mans and in the World Endurance Championship, trading places in the winner's circle. Audi also competes in DTM, and alongside Lamborghini, Bentley, and Porsche, and also offers GT3 and GTE racing cars to private customers. Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi, and Seat (once the leader in touring cars) all run their own spec racing series as well. Skoda continues to compete in lower-level rallying, leaving only Bugatti to draw on its prominent pre-war grand prix racing history. To hear Muller tell it, those racing programs – or at least the top-levels ones among them – aren't going away anytime soon. But there may still be some tweaks here and there, and we shouldn't expect any new programs to be launched in the near future. Porsche, for example, is anticipated to wind down its factory involvement in GT racing, after winning both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles in the WEC GTE Pro class this year in addition to its LMP1 victories. Instead it will focus on preparing new racing versions of the 911 for client racing teams. The auto giant was also reportedly close to branching out into Formula One in partnership with Red Bull. But after negotiations were interrupted by emergence of the diesel emissions scandal, that deal fell apart. It remains unknown which brand might have been represented in the F1 engine-supply program.
