MODEL REAR/FRONT SPOILERS, SPORT SUSPENSION, RECARO SPORT SEATS, FRONT BRAKE COOLING DUCTS AND LIMITED SLIP
DIFFERENTIAL BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE LARGER S MOTOR WHICH I BELIEVE WAS A 4.7L
5 SPEED MANUAL
BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR
43,655 ORIGINAL MILES
4.5L V8 220HP M28/15 8110568 ENGINE CODE
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AUDIO IN THE VIDEO ISNT THE BEST QUALITY. THERE SEEMS TO BE EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE FROM THE
VALVE TRAIN BUT IN PERSON THE NOISE ISNT NOTICEABLE.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON THIS CAR. HERE IS SOME HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE
CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I PURCHASED IT FROM A LOCAL PORSCHE ENTHUSIAST WHO LOCATED THE CAR IN GARAGE WHERE IT HAD BEEN
SITTING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY FROM TEXAS AND MADE ITS WAY TO CONNECTICUT IN 1986 WHEN IT
HAD 26K MILES(AS SHOWN ON THE TITLE PICTURE). MY ASSUMPTION IS THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE YEARS IN CONNECTICUT
AND ENDED UP IN A GARAGE AROUND 1988 AND NEVER SAW DAILY DRIVING AFTER THAT. THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED AGAIN.
THE TITLE I HAVE IS THE 1986 TITLE FROM WHEN THE CAR CAME FROM TEXAS AND REGISTERED IN CONNECTICUT. I HAVE DRIVEN
THE CAR ON THE HWY AND MADE SURE THE ODOMETER WAS WORKING CORRECTLY WITH THE MILE MARKERS. THE OVER ALL CONDITION
OF THE CAR ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE MILEAGE IS TRUE. THE PICTURES DO IT NO JUSTICE.
VERY CLEAN IN AND OUT ORIGINALLY A TEXAS CAR(I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER). NO RUST. BODY IS EXTREMELY STRAIGHT WITH
A FEW MINOR ISSUES. SMALL DING ON HOOD(BARELY NOTICEABLE), THIS CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED SOMETIME IN THE PAST AND LOOKS
VERY QUALITY. I WOULD GIVE IT A 8 OUT OF 10 MAYBE EVEN 8.5. I AM VERY PICKY.
INTERIOR IS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND WELL KEPT. LEATHER IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE(CONDITIONED REGULARLY). CAR WAS GARAGED
ITS WHOLE LIFE. CARPETS LOOK LIKE NEW. DOOR PANELS ETC LOOK AMAZING. A/C STILL BLOWS COLD. WINDOWS WORK PERFECT.
CLOCK WORKS. VACUUM DOOR LOCKS WORK AS WELL. ONLY ISSUES THE INTERIOR HAS IS THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO SEPARATE A
LITTLE BIT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AIR VENT. A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE 928's. ALSO THE RADIO BLAUPUNKT HEIDELBERG SQR24 I
DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE ORIGINAL BUT IM NOT SURE WHICH MODEL CAME IN THESE CARS IN 1981. THE FFW BUTTON IS MISSING ON
THE CASSETTE PLAYER AND FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO SOUND COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS. RADIO TURNS ON, ANTENNA GOES
UP BUT NO SOUND. ALSO REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL WHERE THE SPEAKER IS HAS SOME DAMAGE.(LOOK AT PIC)
MOTOR STARTS UP AND RUNS PERFECT. CLUTCH FEELS PERFECT(NO SLIPPING). RECENT TUNE UP(OIL CHANGE, SPARK PLUGS, CAP &
ROTOR). CAR STILL HAS ORIGINAL PORSCHE BELTS AND RADIATOR HOSES. I AM NOT 100% BUT I ASSUME THE TIMING BELT AND
WATER PUMP ARE ALSO ORIGINAL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SERVICE RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS OWNER. THE GAS WAS DRAINED FROM THE
TANK AND A NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER WERE INSTALLED. I ALSO HAD THE INJECTORS CLEANED AND FLOWED BY MARREN
MOTORSPORTS(I HAVE THE INVOICE). A NEW "GREEN WIRE" WAS ALSO INSTALLED JUST TO MAKE SURE IGNITION WAS 100%. ENGINE
HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND DETAILED REGULARLY.
I REPLACED THE UNDER HOOD INSULATOR WITH A NEW AFTERMARKET HARD FOAM STYLE WHICH WONT CRUMBLE LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IT
ALSO SPORTS THE PORSCHE LOGO. NOT TOO FLASHY BUT A NICE UPGRADE IN MY OPINION. ALL VACUUM HOSES ARE ALSO NEW(OLD
ONES GET BRITTLE AND UNRELIABLE). ONLY ISSUE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS ONE OF THE POWER STEERING HOSES HAS A
SLIGHT LEAK FROM THE COMPRESSION FITTING.(NOT BAD AT ALL)
TIRES ARE LIKE NEW(DUNLOP SP SPORT FM901 225/50R16), WHEELS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE(SOME MINOR CURB RASH), SPARE
TIRE NEVER USED, WEBER FACTORY AIR PUMP(STILL WORKS), LIFTING JACK, TOOL KIT IS MISSING A FEW PIECES I COULDNT YET
FIND(PLIERS/SCREW DRIVER HANDLE/BOTH EXTENSIONS FOR THE SCREW DRIVER/8-9MM WRENCH). ORANGE SPARE BULB CASE
INCLUDED(SOME BULBS MISSING), FACTORY OWNERS MANUALS ALSO INCLUDED.
THE REAR SPOILER AND FRONT BUMPER LIP SPOILER HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED WITH SEM TRIM BLACK. LOOKS FACTORY
NEW!
UNDERCARRIAGE OF CAR ALONG WITH INSIDE THE WHEEL WELLS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CAR OFF AND CLEANED.
NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND O2 SENSOR INSTALLED RECENTLY.
NEW FUEL FILTER RECENTLY AS WELL.
NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT ALL. EVERYTHING WORKS THE WAY IT DID WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY(MINUS THE RADIO SOUND
ISSUE)
IT IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE 928. UNMOLESTED AND READY TO DRIVE. GREAT FOR A COLLECTOR. THESE CARS HAVE BEEN
CLIMBING IN VALUE AND ARE ONE OF THE RAREST PORSCHE MODELS EVER PRODUCED. A GREAT INVESTMENT ON A GREAT CAR.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PICTURES OF THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT SHOW THE EXPOSED MOTOR(UNDERNEATH). I DO HAVE THE SPLASH
SHIELD FOR THAT AREA AS WELL AS THE SHIELD THAT COVERS THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER(REAR). I HAD BOTH SHIELDS SAND
BLASTED AND REPAINTED SATIN BLACK. BOTH ARE REINSTALLED.

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 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring
Tue, 13 May 2014It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.
