Up for auction is a metallic tan 1978 Porsche 928 with a 5 speed manual transmission. The car has 102,406 miles and has spend its entire life in Colorado, so there are no rust or corrosion concerns. It's a very solid car that just needs some TLC. The engine runs very smoothly with plenty of power and no major leaks. Many components on the fuel injection system have been replaced including the fuel distributor, both fuel pumps, the fuel accumulator, the warm up regulator and the fuel filter. The transmission seems okay. The clutch master and slave cylinders were recently replaced. The car was repainted about 10 years ago and it was definitely not a very good paint job. There are some runs in the paint, and the masking job was not very good, so the whole car needs to be stripped and repainted. In addition, there's a small dent and a deep score on the passenger side door and another small dent on the right rear bumper that happened when my dad had a little mishap getting it out of the garage one day. The current color is metallic tan. The car was originally dark brown. The front fog light trim on the driver's side is not the correct part for this car. The original got lost when the car was repainted. The interior of the car needs some serious attention. Both front and rear seats need to be reupholstered as they were destroyed by the sun. The dash is covered with an aftermarket fabric kit, as it too was decimated by the sun. The carpet is faded, but presentable. The headliner and trim in the back hatch area are also faded. My late father was in the process of installing new speakers in the doors. He put one big Pioneer speaker in the passenger door, but never got to the left door. I do have the original factory speaker as well the other Pioneer, so you can decide what to do with it. I went through the trouble of getting most of the interior electrical items to work as well as installing a new Kenwood/CD/Ipod/MP3 stereo unit. The ignition switch and cylinder are new, but are keyed differently than the hatch and doors. The AC system does not work. It probably needs to be recharged. The auto door locks and the headlight washers don't work. The tires are like new with very little mileage. Two of the Porsche center caps, however, are missing. This was my father's car, and unfortunately he passed away last year. The car sat for a few years, but I got it up and running in the last year or so. I've driven it around the neighborhood and everything seems to work properly. However, the car isn't currently registered, so I haven't really driven it on the highway or major streets. It would probably make it 30 or 40 miles up the interstate to Colorado Springs. Any further than that, and I would probably recommend hauling it or getting a transport service to get it home. With a paint job and interior TLC, it could be a very nice car.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland
Fri, Feb 13 2015Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.
Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.
Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise
Wed, Aug 9 2023No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
