This 1986.5 Porsche 928 has had the engine replaced with a GM ZZ4 Crate Engine and was my daily driver for several years until my circumstances changed such that I had to drive over 100 miles per day. I parked it about two years ago and switched to a more fuel efficient car. This Porsche was getting around 16 or 18 MPG. Most everything worked when the vehicle was parked: Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Seats, CD Player (although one side would occasionally go out because of a poor connection in the harness), all the gauges work: Speed, Tach, Oil Pressure, Temp, Fuel and Geer Selection ("D" does not light up, which is pretty typical on this model and is a relatively easy fix). This sunroof was seldom used and overtime started to bind so it will most likely need to be lubed or fixed. Engine accessories are all readily available GM parts such as alternator, AC Compressor and Power Steering pump. The engine is fueled by an Edelbrock Carb utilizing the factory fuel return. The car set a long time and only started occasionally to ensure that nothing is seized up so the fuel will probably need to be flushed and replaced. I would assume that the carb will need to be cleaned. The battery is also dead.

Exterior Condition: Both the passanger side front fender and driver side rear fender had parking lot dings that were fixed and are in primer. There is also a spot on the rear bumper where the paint started to delaminate. Other than that her body is very straight. I've always liked the looks of 928s so I've kept it looking original.

Interior Condition: I've seen 2 and 3 year old cars in worth shape than this one. When I got the car it had a cracked dash so the dash was stripped and redone. The leather is in good shape with a few scratches here and there but is otherwise in good shape.

This car was a lot of fun to drive- ZZ4s put out in the neighborhood of 350HP. The transmission shifted smoothly although it did have a whine, most likely related to a torque tube that was replaced with aftermarket bearings but I could be wrong.

It's possible that it can be driven away with a new battery and fresh fuel but considering how long it set would recommend that it's towed away and properly serviced first.

It's hard to think of everything at once when it comes to this car so please ask questions, I'll try to answer them all.

Please note: I do not know what the true miles are on this car. I've entered 100K becuase ebay requires that mileage is listed and my guess is that it's well under 100K miles.

Thanks and good luck.

Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste

Sun, Feb 25 2018

Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe

Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events

Tue, 13 May 2014

Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
