 I loaned my 928 to a "friend" 3 years ago before i left and i just picked it back up. Apparently after the fuel pump failed he just left it outside to rot. Nice guy huh?
Luckily that was in southern California, or maybe i should say un-luckily.
The interior is completely ruined now. The leather seats are dried up and falling apart. The paint is in the same boat and just flaking off.

The good parts are the motor has great compression and runs fantastically. You'll need a new fuel pump to get it running though, i would also suggest removing the old fuel out of the tank.
The car has 43k orig miles. when i bought it there were 41k and i enjoyed driving it to and from LA to SF a few times. It handled great and earned me more than a few speeding tickets. Its really a wonderful car to drive, but in its current condition i dont have the heart to take on the project. That and the lady is not excited for the project either.

It is a 5 speed manual with a limited slip in the rear. I upgraded the headlamps to Hella H4 lights that are fantastically bright.
I have changed the wheels over to the S flat disc style and found the Euro 8" wide rear wheels which really fill out the fender much better than the stock 7" rims.
The tires are Yokohama AVS that are at full tread. Fronts are 225/50/16 and the rears are 245/45/16.

The car is otherwise completely stock.

I will offer to deliver the car within 500 miles for $0.50 per mile from 95136.
Use Google maps to see how far your house is from my zip code, multiply that mileage by $.50 per mile and that's the delivery cost.
Otherwise you'll need to come pick it up and it will need to be trailered.
If you live further than 500 miles, we might be able to work something out.

Volkswagen taps Porsche chief for board

Mon, Feb 23 2015

Matthias Mueller was promoted to the top position at Porsche in 2010 after a successful stint of developing model lines during his 36 years with the company, mainly at Audi. Having shown the same prowess while overseeing Porsche for the past five years, German outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Mueller will be promoted to the management board of the Volkswagen Group, according to a leaked copy of an agenda for the meeting. It's said that a new spot is being created for him, one that will put him in charge of "overseeing cooperation" among Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche. While other group executives are known to hold positions on the board and with brands, or across brands, it isn't clear yet whether Mueller will keep his spot at the CEO of Porsche after the promotion. One thing that is certain is the 61-year-old Mueller doesn't see himself in line for Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn's job in 2016, having told FAZ this month, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen."

Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.

Porsche 944 Turbo jumps in the MotorWeek wayback machine

Sat, Apr 25 2015

While there's no shortage of five- or ten-minute time wasters on the Internet, we humbly submit MotorWeek's awesome series of retro reviews as the best way to take up a short break. This time around, we have a classic Porsche from the 1980s, with John Davis reviewing the 944 Turbo. With a whopping 247 horsepower, the 944 Turbo still represents something of a performer even today, with Davis and Company recording a solid 5.7-second sprint to 60. While it might hold its own against today's hot hatchbacks, it's clear that today's vehicles have come a very long way in terms of interior equipment. Among the things MotorWeek highlights that seem weirdly out of place today include the passenger front airbag and, among the variety of old fashioned controls scattered throughout he cabin, the hilarious equalizer controls for the 10-speaker Blaupunkt stereo.
