1986 Porsche 928s Project Restoration Upgrades on 2040-cars
Jasper, Georgia, United States
|
I purchased this 928S project last year with the intent to restore it, but have been focusing on other projects (928 5 speed) & it doesn't need to sit anymore.
The previous owner told me the water pump failed & it "might" need a head gasket. When the mechanic started inspecting, it was discovered the timing belt mechanism had failed & the timing belt slipped. Most likely that caused damage to the heads. There is little compression in this engine. Either the engine will need to be swapped (my original plan) or the heads rebuilt. The body is straight & true & appears to be free of any prior damage. The interior is not too bad considering the car's age. The battery was dead & removed. The exhaust is complete, including the catalytic converter, as is the suspension, brakes, etc. This car was on the road driving last in January, 2013, so it has not been sitting for years. The tires have decent tread, but have dry-rot & will need to be replaced. The paint has faded sitting in the Georgia sun, but can be brought back to a reasonable shine with a professional buff & wax. Please look at the photos which were just taken for an accurate analysis of the vehicle. The front seats shown came from an '85 parts car & I'm pretty sure they work properly, but they have not been hooked up to verify. This is a non-running project or parts car & priced accordingly. My hope someone will restore it and not use it for parts, as it is pretty good shape. Any winning bid over $3500, I will include a brand new water pump that was purchased shortly after buying the car. NO RESERVE! It will sell to the highest bidder. Good Luck! This car has a clear issue & lien free title. You are responsible for any taxes your state might charge & transportation. When using the ebay shipping calculator, keep in mind carriers charge more for non-running vehicles. I will work closely and promptly with your carrier to ensure prompt delivery. |

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands
Sat, May 11 2019One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.
Porsche planning jacked-up 911 Safari? [w/poll]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.
