For sale at NO RESERVE I have owned this car for over 20 years. I bought it from a rich guy in Beverly Hills that lived next door to Jack Nickolson's house on Mulholland Drive. The car was not cheap to me at the time. He told me the original owner was Steven Spielberg but I have no documention to back this up. The car runs and drives like new. In fact, it has been my favorite car ever to drive. I have had newer SL Mercedes, Maseratis and other Porsches and this has been my favorite of them all - no lie! I had this car previously for sale about two years ago for $15,000 and it didn't sell. But I had some people come and look at it and drive it. One guy said it was the nicest one he has seen and it was by far the tightest example he looked at. And he said he had looked at quite a few. Unfortunately, my price was just too high at that time for him. I have been traveling quite a bit lately. I just don't have time for it any more. So I am now selling it at no reserve. I am traveling again in mid August so it is very import that the car sells next week, it is picked up/delivered and paid for no later than August 10th. The car is in very good condition. The black paint is glossy and there is not one dent or door ding on the car. Of course there is no rust or any silly like that and it has been in Southern California its whole life. The interior is nearly perfect and looks like new. The car has the rare and very expensive full leather package (over $4000 at that time). There are of course leather seats, but the entire door panels are lined and stitched in leather, as as pretty much every other surface including the headliner but not the top of the dash board. The instrument pod has a hair thin crack in it and it not really noticeable inside the car and hardly so on the outside. It was that way when I bought the car and it has not gotten any worse. Since it was not a big deal, I never replaced the pod. The transmission is a 4 speed and works like new. I have never had a engine or mechanical breakdown with the car in over 20 years that has let me stuck. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. In fact, I recently drove this car up in to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and it performed beautifully. It handles better than most new cars and everything from the suspension to the steering is very tight. The car runs and drives like new and puts to shame most cars built today. It has a monster sound system with 14 speakers and two amps. The eight speakers mounted in the car are original and then there is a box set in the rear that can be removed in about 20 seconds with six more speakers, including the bass woofers. The stereo is a top of the line Nakamishi and sounds great. I think Mr Spielberg wanted only the best. Being sold with the car is a new set of belts (all four aux belts plus the timing belt) and a new OEM Porsche waterpump. I was planning to do a service now but I decided to sell the car instead. All the window and sunroof work as they should. All glass has a security etch on it with the VIN. This was done back in the day when these cars were being stolen because it was one of the most expensive cars you could buy at the time. In fact, the MSRP with options was $55,000. Only cars like Ferraris and Aston Martins were more.. While the car looks and runs great, there are some little issues that need to be tended to to make it perfect - like the A/C stopped working about four years ago. It has a new compressor so I know it is not something big like that. Probably just needs a charge. And the ABS light on the dash is lit up. I was told that the system is pretty trouble free and the most likely cause is something like a loose wire on a wheel sensor. But there is no reason you couldn't drive the car across the country tomorrow. I would just change the oil and you would be good to go. The car is located in Perris California. The pictures I have posted are terrible but they are the only ones I had on this computer. I will take some better ones in the next day of so and post them. If you want more details, send me a message and I will respond to it with in 24 hours. If you are looking for 1986 1/2 Porsche 928S, you would be hard pressed to find a better example. You will not find a finer and tighter driving example than this one - guaranteed! Again, being sold at NO RESERVE!!!! If you are the winner of this auction, again, it is very important that the car is delivered no later than August 10th as I will be traveling after that.

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken
Tue, 04 Mar 2014When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.

Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup ANDIAL Edition First Drive
Mon, Dec 15 2014There is only one Porsche 911 GT3 Cup ANDIAL Edition on the planet, and its owner is standing patiently in the hot pits at Oklahoma's Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, watching attentively as his prized possession circles the challenging road course at speed. I'm the lucky soul strapped firmly in the cockpit of the white-and-blue racecar. The tight carbon-fiber seat is cutting into my hips, the racket from the gearbox is making me deaf and a river of sweat is flowing off the tip my nose – blame the high ambient temperatures combined with the stress of driving someone else's expensive machine on an utterly unfamiliar circuit. But don't expect me to complain, gripe or come into the pits early, as I'm having the time of my life – I've eagerly waited nearly half-a-year for this moment, and short of me blacking out, there's no way I'm cutting it short. It's been said that ANDIAL-prepared cars and engines have claimed victories on every major racetrack in this country. Belting into the driver's seat of an ANDIAL-prepared Porsche fulfills a personal dream that started decades earlier when I thumbtacked a picture of a white Porsche 935 on my dorm room wall, its colorful bodywork stenciled with "ANDIAL" along the bottom of the driver's door. In the 1980s, the name of the privately held racing company was synonymous with Porsche and victory – it's been said that ANDIAL-prepared cars and engines have claimed victories on every major racetrack in this country. As its founders retired and the company focused on smaller specialty projects, ANDIAL's business model changed, but its relationship with Porsche remained strong. In early 2013, it was announced that the Porsche Motorsports North America, Inc. (PMNA) had purchased the brand – yet there was still no word as to how the famed ANDIAL name, an anagram made from the names of the founding members – the late Arnold Wagner (AN), Dieter Inzenhofer (DI) and former PMNA president and current consultant Alwin Springer (AL) would be used. Some answers emerged in February of this year when I received a phone call from Porsche. The company offered to have me to visit ANDIAL's shop in Southern California, which is now operating entirely under the direction of PMNA. Entering one of the shop's bays, I found myself face-to-face with a lightly used 997 GT3 Cup racecar. The vehicle was in the early stages of a complete teardown and rebuild – in preparation for its rollout in traditional red, white and blue ANDIAL livery.
