THE ULTIMATE GERMAN MUSCLE CAR (Made Better)

If you're not seeking a squeaky clean garage queen then skip this listing

Imagine what this 928 was like new, if it were built today. Nothing looks or appears "worn" on this Porsche because if it was, it has already been replaced. This is what museum quality means.

This 928 literally lights up a room and provides both a visual and auditory experience to go with it. Although this custom can be driven daily (if you so desire), it has only been used for show purposes and presently sits in my private collection. Did you catch that? This collectible is not from a dealer lot, dealer inventory, or third party agent. NO, no. I am the real owner.

NOT from some backlot dealer inventory or third-party consignor, this Porsche is offered from the collector who knows how it was built. Commissioned to be fabricated by the lead CANADIAN pursuit vehicle installer, this Porsche not only looks and sounds great, it also includes the interceptor performance package to go with it. There is no other one in the world that has ever been built to match it.

More photos of the operating light bars and flashing sequences are not permitted in this online advertising source. Neither is the use of law enforcement words. Therefore, you will need to go to the website (upon request) to enjoy the entire show. And only if this truly intrigues you. Not to satisfy any curiosity please. This is a real car for a real buyer.

Being sold from my own private collection to another serious collector of fine automobiles. If you are a serious collector of unique automobiles, chances are this one is missing from your stable. There is no disappointments here. It is a WOW Factor car upon first glance in person.

Now Read on...

IF YOU LIKE SUPER CLEAN. I MEAN CONCOURS CONDITION. MUSEUM PIECE. SHOW READY. THIS IS THE ONE.

THIS IS A NICELY APPOINTED HIGHLY OPTIONED 928 WITH FACTORY DUAL HEATED AND POWER SEATS AND DUAL POWER LUMBAR FEATURE WITH FACTORY ALARM. IT BOASTS THE ORIGINAL MARINE BLUE LEATHER INTERIOR AND ORIGINAL EXTERIOR FACTORY PAINT WITH GTS UPGRADES. ULTRA CLEAN. SPECIALTY CUSTOM.

THE HEAT-WRAPPED HEADER INSTALLED CUSTOM BUILT MAGNA-FLOW EXHAUST SYSTEM IS MEANT FOR PERFORMANCE. THE WAY AN UNRESTRICTED V8 SHOULD SOUND AND GO. THAT'S RIGHT, A TRUE DUAL EXHAUST WITH CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS (something real 928's never had). EVERY REAL PERFORMANCE CAR HAS TWIN TIPS. IT COMPLETES THE REAR LIKE A 911.

IF WORDS LIKE: UNIQUE, EXCLUSIVE, MEMBERS ONLY, OR ONE- OF-A-KIND ARE IN YOUR VOCABULARY, THEN THIS PORSCHE MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU. I'M NOT BIG ON EXTRAVAGANT SALES PITCHES AND FLAMBOYANT ADS. THIS PORSCHE REALLY SELLS ITSELF. I'M LOOKING TO MOVE A CLASSIC CAR OUT OF THE COLLECTION AND THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE IF A TRULY INTERESTED BUYER COMES ALONG. AS THE VALUE OF WORLD CURRENCIES FALL, CLASSIC CARS CONTINUE TO BECOME REAL TANGIBLE USEABLE INVESTMENTS. HERE YOU HAVE AN APPRECIATING ITEM OF TRUE AND LASTING VALUE.

I REALIZE 928's BRING ALONG A DIFFERENT BREED OF BUYERS THAN DO 911's. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE THIS COLLECTORS PIECE TO GO TO ANOTHER COLLECTOR AND NOT SOMEONE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHEAP 928. THIS PARTICULAR 928 WAS IN PORSCHE PANORAMA MAGAZINE FEATURED IN A PCA CLUB DISPLAY AND REMAINS IN SHOW STATUS. OWNED BY A PERFECTIONIST, EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IS DONE.

ON PRICE... MOST RECOGNIZE THAT YOU COULD NOT COMPLETE A BUILD OF THIS QUALITY FOR THE STARTING PRICE SEEN HERE. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER TAKEN ON A 3-to-5 YEAR CUSTOM CAR PROJECT KNOWS WHAT I MEAN. FINANCIALLY, THE BUYER ALWAYS GETS THE BETTER DEAL WHEN THE CAR IS PRESENTED AS "DONE".

THEREFORE, THE PRICE IS FAR BELOW THE VALUE OF WHAT IS OFFERED HERE AS A CUSTOM BUILD. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO PLACE BIDS FOR SOMETHING THEY NEVER REALLY HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PURCHASE, LEAVE THIS FOR THE REAL BUYERS. FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE MARKET, THE BEST PART: NO RESERVE.

SO PLEASE... TEXT, TALK AND TYPE ON DISCUSSION FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS AS THIS DOES ME A GREAT FAVOR. IT ADDS TO GETTING THE WORD OUT (free advertising for me). REGARDLESS OF THE IMHO COMMENTS, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT THIS PORSCHE, THE BETTER. THIS IS THE BEST FORM OF ADVERTISING, SO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

NOTE: Actual law enforcement pursuit roof light bar and interior emergency light bars and related accessories will be removed prior to shipping. These can be made available to the buyer if so desired. In addition, the tactical vest and accessories and special order DMV Germany plate will also be made available separately. WHY? These "flashy" items add no real tangible value to the actual car. So I'm told. Of course, all are available for viewing "in action" if one desires to consider having them as part of the collection.

SPECIAL NOTE ON PROVENANCE: This car has a very CLEAN and CLEAR title (history). It was hand-built by Porsche in Stuttgart for the Canadian market and has never left Canada since arriving here. To those in Canada and Europe, this means it's given similar specifications as EURO spec models which makes it more desirable and more rare than a traditional U.S. spec 928. Sold and owned in Canada from new, it boasts having EURO instrumentation with a 300km/h speedometer from the factory. More importantly, it's traceable right to the day of its initial sale from the Porsche dealer in Vancouver, B.C. CANADA on January 2, 1988. That's right, 26 years ago. Therefore, this officially classifies it as antique status in Canada. Once again, this is not an import from the U.S. or overseas with a multi-owner background. We all know, the three most important qualities in real estate is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In a classic car, it's PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE, and PROVENANCE which only adds to its value as a collectible.

OVER THE TOP IN EVERY WAY...

You want something unique? You want something already "done"? You want a Porsche you can drive or show? You want a Porsche you can be proud to own? It's right here... A newer interior with original leather seats and body. A clean history and clear title. Yes, it can be registered and driven the way it is. Yes, the custom decaling and light bars and controller and LED amplifier and sirens and air horn and flashers and strobes and red and blues and intercom and DMV Germany plate and even the gold plating will all be disabled and removed.

The point is even with all that "jazz" out of the way, this is still a concours condition 928 so you get to start off with something FRESH. And that is the best way to begin the new season ahead. The opportunity to enjoy life comes only once. So enjoy the journey... it is the reward... and it continues right here... beginning with your bid.

ONLY TERM & CONDITION (FINAL BID NOTICE): The winning buyer will be invoiced 10% of the final bid price to be paid within 48 hours as a non-refundable deposit to confirm sale of the vehicle.

NOTE TO POTENTIAL U.S. BUYERS: This is not a listing for the U.S. market. Yes, it can be imported into the United States. I just find that from past experience most buyers have no clue how to go about doing that. If you are truly interested, contact me. The simplest way is to hire a broker. After all, this is an investment so invest to have it imported easily.

...IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST…

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.

Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine

Sun, 23 Mar 2014

When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.

2022 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance Mega Gallery | The show in pictures

Mon, May 23 2022

COMO, Italy — Held annually, the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance is, in many ways, Europe's version of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It takes place in a beautiful location, and it brings together an impressive selection of rare and valuable cars. It's a real treat for the eyes, the ears, and, if you're into champagne, the palate. The 2022 edition of the show was no exception: About 50 cars were shipped to Lake Como from over a dozen countries, and it wasn't just the usual suspects. Sure, there were a lot of pre-war cars (including a couple of one-off models), but some of the icons that younger enthusiasts grew up with (like the Lamborghini Countach) were present as well. This year's event was split into eight categories: The Art Deco Era of Motor Car Design, The Supercharged Mercedes-Benz, How Grand Entrances Were Once Made, Eight Decades of Ferrari Represented in Eight Icons, "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday," BMW's M Cars and Their Ancestors, Pioneers That Chased the Magic 300 KPH, And a design award for concept and prototypes. The jury gave the coveted "best of show" award to a 1937 Bugatti 57 S owned by Andrew Picker of Monaco, while the aforementioned classes were won by, respectively: The Bugatti 57 S, shown below, A 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet, A 1956 Chrysler Boano Coupe Speciale, A 1966 Ferrari 356 P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti, A 1961 Porsche 356 B Carrera Abarth GTL, A 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, A 1989 Porsche 959 Sport, And the Bugatti Bolide concept unveiled in 2020. Winning at Villa d'Este is a big deal: The cars are judged by a panel of highly experienced judges. No one gave me a scoring sheet, presumably out of fear that I'd award points to the late-model Fiat 600 lurking in the parking lot, but several cars that didn't win an award caught my eye. One is a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, a grand-prix racer that was once owned by King Leopold III of Belgium and that has never been restored Â— its patina is inimitable. Another is a 1961 BMW 700 RS. One of two built (the other is in the BMW collection), it's a tiny, ultra-light roadster related to the 700 and powered by a 697-cubic-centimeter air-cooled flat-twin tuned to develop 70 horsepower. It won several hill-climb events during the 1960s, and it's one of the rarest cars ever to wear a BMW roundel. Aston Martin's freshly-restored 1979 Bulldog concept was cool to see as well; check out the cassette player integrated into the headliner!
