Today for sale I have a very exciting 1979 Porsche 928!  This is the rare 5 speed!  The 928 was Porsche's first mass produced V8!  Everywhere I go people stop to look at this amazing car!  The motor is strong!  There are receipts for almost everything that has been done to this car for the last 7 years.  The records that I have for things that have been done are:

2006 - freon added, inspection passed
2007-condenser 
2008-  chrome tips, stalks, hangers, steering wheel horn gold button, CV Boot set of 4, bought owners manual, quickpods 6.5 ABS speaker pod with recessed face, silicone oil pan gasket, upper ball joint repair, alignment, Koni performance shocks
2010- water pump, replace timing belt, fill and bleed cooling system, set ignition timing, inspection passed
2011- rebuild manual trans axle, new interstate battery, alignment, axle boot kit
2012- car repainted (used original Porsche black), new front chin spoiler, inspection passed
2013- new electric window motors (driver and passenger)
2014- new tires all around 
 
The car has Ricaro bucket racing seats, Koni adjustable shocks in the rear, front chin spoiler,  carbon fiber torque bar, after market racing steering wheel (momo?)...this car is set to run!  The transmission and clutch are strong!  All windows, lights, horn, etc work! You will not be disappointed in this car.
The thing I can think of that needs help on the car is the air conditioner.  It needs to be hooked back up and probably charged.  The only other thing is recently the odometer stopped counting miles.  I don't drive the car often so I just noticed this the other day.  

The car is also listed locally.  You are more than welcome to come take a look at the car in person.  
May consider trades

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.

Jay Leno welcomes Emory's outlaw Porsche 356s

Tue, Aug 4 2015

Classic cars can have a lot of character, but purposely passing up on some of the enormous advancements made to the automobile over the decades since those classics were made can be a difficult proposition. That's where restomodders like Emory Motorsports come in. Emory specializes in customizing Porsche 356s, modifying them to their clients' specifications and giving them an added dose of performance and refinement, all without losing that timeless appeal. The LA-based company is headed up today by third-generation Southern Californian gearhead Rod Emory. After seeing some examples of his work out on the road, Jay Leno invited Rod by the garage along with a pair of his company's custom creations. Both are based on 356 coupes from the late 1950s, but take pretty different approaches in their comprehensive restoration and extensive modification. Since classic Zuffenhausen enthusiasts are notorious for their rigid adherence to originality, Emory's modified 356s are deemed to be "outlaws" by many on the vintage Porsche scene. But they've also gained quite a following, similar to what Singer has done with 911s. Whether you're more inclined to cling to authenticity along with the purists or embrace the novelty espoused by the restomodders, after scoping out these irresistible specimens, you'll have to admit that Emory does some pretty compelling work. Watch the 25-minute video clip above to see what we mean, and check out Petrolicious' profile of the same company's work from last year for another look.
