1985 Porsche 928S, 5.0 32 valve 288 hp V-8, 5 speed, A/C blows cold, 49,500 miles. This is a very nice Porsche 928 that drives great, steers, stops, shifts, idles and revs up like it should. It's a Porsche would be proud to own and can drive anywhere in comfort with cold a/c and excellent handling. No mods, 100% stock (except for the Alpine am/fm cassette radio which works great). I have all service records back to 1988. Tools are all there, as is the spare and jack. I have the owner's manual, but not the service book. The car is rust free.

I spent the last year getting all systems totally up to snuff, enhancing the driving experience and reliability. I decided to replace the timing belt 4/17/14 so wouldn't have any concerns, overkill I know. Here's a sample of some but not all of the recent service work performed:

49,380 miles 4/17/14; Timing Belt, 4 new Continental perf. tires, oil & filter (water pump inspected, perfect shape and no leaks, 20,000 miles since new, mechanic advised to leave it alone). Yes, you can call the mechanic...
46,787 miles 8/9/13; new lower ball joints, rebuild all four brake calipers, new brake hoses, new battery
46,641 miles 5/23/13; A/C compressor, hoses, receiver dryer, flush and fill with R134a
40,799 miles 6/2/11; Timing belt and rollers, fan clutch, other misc.
37,377 miles 9/11/09; motor mounts, complete clutch R&R, clutch master cylinder
28,507 miles 3/6/02; Timing Belt, water pump, misc.

The paint is very nice, nearly excellent, has only the most minor and hard to find tiny scratches, maybe 4 total (and not touched up). Mostly original factory red paint, some repaint long ago on the lower right door. Shiny all around, no fading anywhere. The rear spoiler in in fine shape. The rear bumper cover was also repainted 7/21/11 after a stoplight bump at a cost of $1,400, the match is perfect. The paint is a 9 of 10 overall. The doors open and close with vault like precision, electric door locks work.

Glass is good all around, no chips or dings, both side windows go up and down with ease. The rear hatch and hood stay up with gas shocks as they should. The front wipers work as does the rear wiper work. The cruise control works. The underside of the hood still has the original hood pad insulation. The sunroof open and closes as it should, all gauges and light work perfectly. I changed out the headlamps the the later version USA spec 8" units.

The interior is exceptionally clean and shows wear consistent with miles. No rips or tears, seats are nearly perfect, as are door panels, all carpets in very good/ clean shape. Dash pod has one crack front to back, otherwise exceptionally nice. Stock 16" wheels show some etching from previous owners use of harsh wheel cleaner. Clean and rub with Vaseline and the streaks go away and the wheels are very presentable.

Mechanically, the engine starts easily and idles smoothly at correct rpm, runs well cold or hot, no overheating, electric fans comes on, no oil consumption can be observed between oil changes. No big drips on the garage floor when parked, but a couple of dime size ones after sitting a week. Shifting is smooth and no noise or grinding, in any gear, up or down. Clutch pedal is easy to operate, clutch take up is smooth, starts engaging halfway thru pedal travel. One item that does not work as new (the only item I can think of) is the reverse lockout feature. Power assisted brakes are immediate and progressive, very confidence inspiring. The ride is firm but not jarring as it should be. Power steering is precise, alignment done 4/127/14 with new tire install.

This is a very good high performance Porsche 928...and a 5 Speed WITH LOW MILES! Red and tan leather/ brown dash and carpets, nice color combo. V-8 power an torque...cold a/c..AND IT'S A 5-SPEED.

I highly recommend you invest the time to see the car in person, or send someone to see it. We have a lift if you want see the (rust free) chassis, etc. Clear title in hand, cash only, no trades, etc. Fly into BWI, drive it home when your funds clear. Ask for my number if you're serious about the car.

Other questions, please ask.

Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
