Hello-
Im selling my 1986 porsche 928s black on black. I purchased from the original owner and the car has all reciepts since new, a clean title, and even the window sticker. on the cars history it was reg'd in several states but that is because the orig owner moved around and took it with him as evidenced by the receipts i have back to 1986 all with the same name on them. the car is very nice looking it is black, it has small dents and scratches here and there but presents well. no accidents are listed for the car and the car appears to have its original paint other than a small area on the passenger rear qrtr. which looks like a very good small repair there (ie you cannot tell by looking at the car, you have to inspect the passenger door jam and you see a small paint seam.) car has zero rust and was garaged its whole life. the interior is black leather and fully operable. there are no tears in the leather, only very small cracks here and there on plastic knobs, etc. dash is very very clean. interior presents very well. the AT stick for some reason bumps into the sunroof button behind it when you shift into 1st or 2nd. there is zero problems with the transmission, it shifts very well, this is just some of the plastic may be slightly warped. engine runs very well, i drive it daily and have zero issues--I am selling as i imagined id make this into a track car but it is such a nice example i cant bear to alter it, plus its an AT, so i bought a 335i for the track instead. I took it to my porsche mechanic and he says the car is a solid driver and looks nice. the timing belt was replaced 2k miles ago but it was 7 years ago, ive chosen not to replace yet as the cars been driven lightly and s it was just replaced 2 miles ago, but he says if it were him, he would do all the belts to be safe. he also says there is some oil seepage here and there. im sure thats normal for a 1986 car. I have zero oil marks in my garage ever from the car and my level never goes down so you are fine. he also says the front AC does not work but the rear AC does work. (this car was optione with an extra cooling package) . I just tried the front AC and it was indeed working so the front AC may be intermittant. it works for me but porsche mechanic says did not for him. car is great, only has 66k miles on it, looks so so cool turns heads!! you can drive from here to LA no problem, its reliable. I would either drive it as it and/or restore it due to its fully documented history and hell i even have the original valet key and a car cover. I will not ship this overseas, if you are overseas you need to have someone come see me in person and give me cash and take the car. you can come see the car in person in oakland. I do not have time to f around with you driving the car all over, etc. so if you want eyeballs on it, come see it. I feel I have been very honest in my description, and have probably knocked the car harder than it needs to be knocked. its a no reserve auction, if you win you need to send me 1k within 24hrs, and the balance and pick within a week. cheers oh I forgot--I have a set of 1987 s4 staggered wheels on there that i just had re-chromed and BRAND NEW bridgstone RE-11's 225/245 mounted ( : car also comes with its original wheels which are same style but not staggared |

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
World's largest toy car collection is in Beirut, and it's remarkable
Fri, Jan 31 2014It's common for auto enthusiasts to have a few miniatures of their favorite cars around their home or office. They provide a respite of happiness knowing that if you can't have the real things, at least you can look at them in miniature. However, Billy Karam of Beirut, Lebanon, has taken collecting toy cars to its extreme. His collection of over 30,000 model cars and 400 dioramas is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest collection of car toys. "You cannot buy the big ones, so you buy a thousand of the small ones instead," says Karam in the video. Karam is a former amateur racing driver with a weakness for all things Porsche, and many of his dioramas depict races that he drove in or attended. Looking at them gives him a chance to relive the experiences again, but unlike a photo or video, they are right there in three dimensions. Scroll down to watch this astounding Cool Hunting video narrated by the collection's captivating owner. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.
