Porsche 928 Scca, Silver State Classic Road Racer, Gt3,gt2,imsa, 996,930,911 on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
First Off... This is a original 1986 California 928 4 cam 32 Valve engine car . Purchased from a drug seizure Sherriff Dept auction in 2006 and the reason the interior was removed in the first place ( marijuana smell ). Absolutely no smell any longer.
A fully modified 928 4 cam 5 liter engine car with the rare 5 speed manual transaxle. A $2000 certified NASCAR type cage is installed . Note that the cage extends into the door cavities for the ultimate in side and roll over protection for the driver. There is no interior in this car except for the Kirkey driver seat and the instrument cluster and fuse/relay board. No heater/AC, to shave weight. Pop up headlights and their motors were removed and replaced by fiberglass blank outs ( see note below). Battery box now in passenger seat position but factory box in the rear and it's wiring is all still there. Race box can be removed fairly easily. It is estimated to be 600 lbs lighter than a factory S4. Hollow spoke twist alloys with Porsche cup slicks mounted. The massive black brembo calipers and drilled rotors to slow you from the 180 mph speed are all there. A custom beautiful mandrel bent slip joint fitted dual pipe large diameter exhaust system with dual DTM tips is mounted. Sounds incredible ( can send a short video file with sound of the car running if requested ). Headlight hole fiberglass blank outs included. This is a running driving car but in it's current form is too modified to be street legal ( now that I have headlights for it it can fairly easily be made road legal again ). This model was the worlds fastest production car in the mid eighties. They are dead stable at 150 mph plus. I bought it to race the Silver State Classic open road race in N. Nevada . Now let something like that be your passion. Cheapest way to get into the upper echelon of production road racing. The wing is not some add on kids thing. Built for downforce specifically for this chassis. This car was built January of 1986 with certifications for California with ZERO rust. Just surface rust on the cage from being in my garage and other storage for a while. Slicks are old and would need to be changed. Car runs and drives but needs some minor finishing and trimming ( like painting the cage after race officials looking at the welds ) and installing polycarbonate for the rear windows. Only the OEM windshield is installed. Again.. more weight savings. This is a sunroof car but I'm adding a non sunroof clip ( complete roof with pillars ) in case your sanctioning body doesn't like the hole there. Car in all pictures other than the outside picture after getting a bath is dusty. Just sitting for a while always inside. Fresh fuel added recently after draining old fuel. Original paint can clean up nicely. I have all the required paperwork to legally register this car in any state you wish ( once it's got some lights again ) from the auction. In California I would simply submit the docs and pay the fees to get a title issued again. In other words I have legal ownership that can be transferred to anyone else for this car.
Entire car has been looked over by pro's and there is no evidence of any accident damage. Car Fax supports this. Only the front and rear fascia's have been changed over to the more aero later model types. Car was under dealer lease/maintenance ownership for the first 15 years of it's life.
Engine has been rebuilt by a reputable shop in the Bay Area of California and has 45k miles since being rebuilt. Right rear wheel bearing is worn but entire replacement hub/rotor included with car I recently bought the headlights, the linkages and the motor drive so with very little work this can be made street legal again. Talk about a Autobahn burner.
Engine and trans numbers as follows: Engine M28/43 Trans 28/05-119
This makes the transmission one out of an earlier car. Probably for the better gear ratios for road racing.
On the odd chance that a guy had a Honda 20 or 25 HP Four Stroke outboard engine with electric start and power trim that runs well I would entertain a $2500 credit against the purchase of this car.
I will deliver to your choice of local shipper or we can arrange me delivering the car up to 1000 miles for $2.00 per mile prepaid for purchase and delivery of course. See my feedback. I'm honest and will answer any questions you have. Feel free to ask for more pictures.
I will not ship this car overseas. Payment in U.S. Funds and only first party transactions. Deposit of $500 can be made via Paypal . Balance due in certified funds before car will be released. Contact me for further questions. |

Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC
Sun, 19 Jan 2014In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video
Fri, 18 Apr 2014When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
