1986.5 5-speed Porsche 928 S Turbocharged 22,900 Miles, 2-owner Concours Gt Gts on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Parting with my beloved after 7 years of great car shows,
OCIC, and ThirdCoast Events, usually placing/winning entered events including
another 1st place at the regional annual 928 Third Coast show last weekend. No wrecks, never been disassembled (engine or body) for any reason Imported in Cali, shipped to the northeast US for a while,
then to Honolulu where I purchased in Hawaii in 2006 with 10,700 miles from
first owner Had been washed 20x and
waxed 3 (yes, he knew). Porsche of Honolulu wouldn't take my $ for a PPI:
car was known by all in the shop to be basically as-new....even the 20-year old
t-belt! I have scans of both the original title from Original window sticker $54,900 new in '86. Window sticker is now hard-laminated and included with sale. Red/black, some leather options such as rear seat backs, door sills, and rear quarters. Mink-oil conditioned Leather is 10/10, interior is 10/10. It is as-new in all respects: texture, softness, stitching, coloration, no stretching, etc. Only the radio unit has been modernized and the ashtray replaced with an AEM Wideband gauge and an AEM TruBoost boost controller. Original ashtray will be included in sale of car, though car has NEVER been smoked in and still smells new. 8-way power on both seats Stored in my Air Conditioned garage and rarely sees sunlight. Yes, the dashboard is perfect. Car did ship to original owner with both a vinyl and a leather sunvisor: weird. Rare side-molding delete option on an exquisite exterior 9.5/10 condition after 27 years. Paint ONLY receives the oily Natty's Red Paste wax to help preserve it's perfectly colored and sun-protected Guard's Red paint and all black trim/rubber seals. Never buffed, no paint burns. Rear-driver's 3/4 shot shows touched up scuffs from original owner. There are a few paint blemishes but overall presentation is stunning and there are panels on the which remain showroom perfect in all respects. No rock chips (except for mirrors which is common), just a few rock scuffs. All lenses, glass, seals, trim, rubber are as-new as if just rolled off the assembly line except for the lower door seals where a linear crack is evident as they are on all 928’s purely based on the pressure placed on them over the last 27 years. Seal itself is perfect and does not accumulate wax nor is the crack noticeable; it’s just there so I must disclose that.
Turbocharger kit was installed in 2007: a single
Dual-ballbearing T67mm Precision unit with the kit manufactured by
Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts - Boostlogic.com Performance Racing
parts and myself. Tuned to 405rwhp/400rwtq at mere 5.5psi with custom timing
chips by Sharktuner and an SMPT-6 piggy back fuel tuner. A Bosch 044 fuel
pump and new fuel filter was added in ’07 during kit installation. No lag, great sound, super reliable as I’ve
not adjusted/touched a single aspect of the turbo kit since it’s installation
in ’07.
Dual air conditioning converted to R134a by the
Butter-smooth shifting 5-speed with Original clutch. I've
owned 5 other 928's including the pictured race car: this car drives/shifts
as-new in all respects. Other items: 3M tint, 3M clear bra, retrofitted HID
Fogs in factory housings. Lloyd's "turbo" 928 floor mats, adjustable
sway bar, front Koni's, original brake rotors and pads, 18x10 & 18x8 Sport
Edition Cup wheels (245/35), and 295/30 road race R888's in the rear because
spinning the tires at 80mph tends to drain your adrenaline pretty quick.
No oil leaks. Maintenance: 2006 when received: t-belt,
idler bolt bushings, all fluids flushed (redline, ATE Super blue, G05 w/water
wetter and a 75 degree t-stat), new ignition wires, plugs (for turbocharging).
New tie rods and delrin bushings at PS rack + alignment to sharpen steering
after lowering 1.25"
2007: turbo kit, front Koni's, epoxy-painted calipers, SS
brake lines, ATE Super blue. OIl changed every 2k miles: Valvoline Racing 20/50
with OE Porsche filters.
Factory air box, air tubes, catalytic converters available
with car...car passed Texas emission testing EASILY while
turbocharged...without cats. Video's available on Youtube under
PorscheMark69
All records, hard-laminated window sticker, factory
books/manuals, luggage cover, cargo net, three keys, and OEM '86 Porsche car
cover all included with sale.
open to other '85-00 Porsche partial trades
Will deliver within 200 miles of This
car is known to be the lowest mile 86.5 in the country. It’s probable that it’s nicer than any GTS
you may be looking at currently…so why
pay more for a car that’s not in as good of condition and is slower or worse,
is an automatic. You REALLY want the 5-speed…makes all the difference on 928s! It's reserve is
priced accordingly but is also the best out there in addition to the low
mileage. It's light, fast, not too quiet, smooth, classic, it handles, it
brakes, and draws attention wherever it goes. I reserve the right to cancel
this auction due to it being posted on the PCA national site as well as a few
other places. Email me if you really want it now. :) Good luck. |

Porsche Cayman GT4 looks sexy, rapid in the nude
Mon, Jan 5 2015Porsche doesn't officially have a name for its more hardcore version of the Cayman, yet. The speculation is that the coupe is called the GT4 as a little brother to the 911 GT3. However, the German sports car maker apparently is not interested in keeping the model's looks much of a secret because these latest shots show it without a hint of camouflage to speak of. The GT4 reportedly takes the GT3's ethos of more power, less weight and stickier-than-glue handling and brings it all to the Cayman. As these photos show, there's a much lower air dam up front with a cooling vent at the tip of the hood. Larger wheels are another obvious addition and are likely shod with some very sticky rubber. At the back, there's a double spoiler combining a wing and a ducktail. The power and gearbox for the GT4 remains a mystery, though. The rumor is that it uses a tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six in the Cayman S and GTS to make between 370 and 400 horsepower. A similar overhaul of the Boxster might be on the way, as well. A version of the convertible wearing some of the Cayman GT4's goodies was recently spotted testing. That one even had a manual transmission to make the prospects behind the wheel even more exciting.
Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
