1981 Porsche 928  5 speed with Chevy 350

The best of both worlds. Porsche styling and handling with the reliability, power, and maintainability of a SBC. This is not a shade tree conversion. The conversion was done at Renegade Hybrids of Las Vegas (renegadehybrids.com) and owned by a mechanic who was employed there before I bought it. Included is the full 928 factory workshop manuals on CD.
 
Engine: 350 SBC with Holley 750 CFM single pumper. Less than 1K miles on top end rebuild that included new cam, lifters, timing gears/chain, and rockers at over $2k. Included is a Holley 4Di TBI system (ECM currently installed, throttle body removed) with software. Custom aluminum headers to a 3 inch single exhaust, 2 cats, and a Flowmaster turbo muffler. Custom oversized aluminum radiator with thermostat controlled fan in front, and twin manual fans behind.

Drivetrain: Porsche 5 speed manual, hydraulic carbon fiber clutch, 80% LSD.

Car: 1981 928 repainted Porsche Panther Black with S4 spoiler. Always covered or garaged. The car sits on 17" 911 cup wheels with Yokohama ES100 Front (225/45/ZR17) Rear (245/45/ZR17) and Biltstein struts all around. Newer black carpets, with tan leather interior. Front seats in good condition with no rips, back seats average. Tan and black dash mats (leather is deteriorated).

Bad: Will not pass Colorado emissions. Carb is jetted low and it passes CO, but not HC. I have been told that this may be a timing issue, but I cannot confirm. Being a 1981, it only requires the standing test. Small leak in the radiator (Stop leak may fix, but I personally won't use it). Dash lights are all out, but I have LED replacements. Crack in windsheild. Climate control not working (only fan on defroster). Second gear synchro worn and odometer does not work (common issues).

Clean Colorado title, and my only involvement in shipping will be backing out of the garage and handing the keys to your shipper.

Porsche expects to hit 200k sales target 3 years early

Fri, Jan 9 2015

When Porsche launched the Cayenne, enthusiasts and purists – in between fits of rage – rationalized the SUVs existence by imagining that the money it brought in would guarantee the company's continued ability to produce the many beloved versions of its 911. The same was said when the Panamera arrived, and again when the Macan was unveiled. What probably wasn't imagined when these three more mainstream vehicles joined the Porsche catalog, was how dramatic an impact they'd have on the company's sales figures. The company expects 2015 to be a banner year, as it aims to hit a 200,000-unit sales goal three years ahead of schedule. Porsche sold nearly 190,000 units in 2014, a gain of 17 percent over 2013, while its year-over-year sales for December were up 39 percent. Considering Porsche made these gains before the full impact of the new Macan could be felt, it's no wonder the company is so keen on 2015. Porsche has already moved 45,000 Macans, which would be impressive on its own, were it not for the way the CUV is elevating the brand. According to a report from Reuters, two-thirds of the company's Macan deliveries have been to first-time Porsche customers. Considering these two facts, it will be extremely interesting to see the impact Porsche's newest model has on its sales over a full calendar year.

Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.

Porsche planning more plug-ins

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
