1984 Porsche 928 S at 77,xx actual miles).(U.S. legal  euro spec car). Exterior: Shiny black paint. Black canvas top with  power glass sun roof both are rare. Some Porsche people say its factory installed, some say euro after market. I don't know but the headliner is molded to/for the larger shaded  glass sun roof.(maybe it was a euro trend back in the day).  The interior is blue with all new matching blue leather seating, new foam padding as well. medium blue. Good carpet/ Porsche logo matts, has the spare tire and tool kit' all lights and power options work with the exception of: the heat temp. adjusting lever it works, just on or off, fan speeds all work. The a/c did work  (says the previous owner till the belt tensioner got broke/ bent),  I saw that its all there  belt as well, just wont tighten enough. The period correct 16" gold center BBS rims are in great shape, no weird  tire wear patterns. (The Oregon title says  reconstructed, haven't learned what this represents). However my S 10 deemed totaled  after a deer strike at 30mph and slowing. Yep, $113.00 ,of E bay after market parts, head light, grill & blinker and its to/from work again. Not to say the DMV is wrong, just that the Porsche drives/feels like a 77,xxx mile car and a body shop did a great job. (Yes the front spoiler/bib) is missing. The older gent. I bought this from said he hit a parking stop and then took it off. I'd bet that's when the a/c quit as well. OK, the euro spec  differences : rear, no big bumps at the sides of the plate area, has red rear fog light, side markers may be different too. engine U.S. model 234 hp. this  euro with twin distributors, euro cams& 10.4:1 compression , book says 310 hp, Porsche folk know they dyno @ 330hp. Quality headers can increase these numbers by 20%. This car has those headers. So the numbers are higher 310=372hp., 330=396 at 20%.  Its a 5 speed and the final drive is 2.73. the vin # is wp0zzz92zes841383. the number in the  official box is a 914 I have  call ,email you questions be for winning the car it does drive firm, straight . Western states , if it helps ,I may  be willing to drive this car you @ $2.00 a mile. all payments must be paid in full(including del. costs to be paid before hand . proof of insurance faxed/ emailed showing this car is covered. thank you , 541-680-0053, will return all missed calls


On May-21-13 at 06:51:09 PDT, seller added the following information:

hello , I didn't make clear, that there are some  e bay glitches that won't accept  euro  vin#'s .  And if the cars year is newer than 1979 it won't accept as well . That's why this add has two model year dates and  a 914 Porsche vin# . The car is a 1984.  This was the only way  to complete/comply with the auction add.   thanks

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.

Autoblog Minute: UAW and FCA avoid strike, Clarkson teases new show

Fri, Oct 9 2015

FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. A UAW strike of FCA was avoided thanks to a zero-hour tentative agreement reached this week. Worker concerns that were renegotiated in the new [00:00:30] deal include adjustments to the two-tier wage scale, health care costs, and production outsourcing. Now check-in with Autoblog as we update our reports on this evolving story. Shooting began on Amazon Prime's new automotive show starring the former Top Gear crew. That's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Now Clarkson threw out a tweet from day one of filming on location at Algarve Motor Park in Portugal. The picture features the show's [00:01:00] three stars and crew posing with the holy trinity of hyper cars. That's a McLaren P1, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. This Prime show is being called Gear Knobs though the name is unofficial. Now if a tweet is any indication of what we can expect, who cares what it's called this is gonna be awesome. (Eds Note: Clarkson tweeted Friday that the show will not be called Gear Knobs.) Toyota predicts drivers could be obsolete on highways as early as 2020, with technology dubbed the Toyota Highway Teammate or THT. Toyota is using a modified [00:01:30] Lexus GS to show what this is capable of. THT is already able to create a driverless freeway car that's capable of changing lanes, making passes and taking curves. Plus, it can keep safe distances from other vehicles. Toyota is currently testing this on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. And I'll have some added insight on the BMW M4 GTS. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. [00:02:00] Show Logo Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]

Sun, 07 Apr 2013

Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
