My Story: Alright, here's the story and I'm sticking to it. I had a 1982 928 which I sold about 5 weeks ago to purchase this this 1987 928. The previous owner was a gentleman from Boston, Massachusetts. He was sellling the car on ebay just about 5 weeks ago. He bought the car from the owners in Texas about a year before (his story from his Ebay listing is below).
Anyway, I fly to Boston and met this guy and he's basically a RedSox version of me. Likes cars, watches, and nice things. He was very forthright with me, picked me up at the airport, delivered the car and I drove it back from Mass to Texas, 2000 miles. The car rode beautifully and I was thoroughly impressed. I intended to keep this 928 and immediately contacted Sean Ratts (if you're a Rennlister you know who he is) and Sean gave it a look over for me. He gave it two thumbs up. That made me feel good. So I had the a/c charged and we talked about some repairs that I would do in the coming months, including replacing the motor mounts. That was pretty much all we could see was visibily needed. The car has just over 44k miles.
Anyway, last week the Boston guy calls me and tells me that the Porsche 911 4S he bought from an enthusiast in California is up for sale. The 4S has a GT3 package and had a list price of $122k. He asked if I wanted it, so I said "yes" if I can sell this 928 and my 2002 911 4s. You will see my 911 4S also is up for sale.
So the ONLY and I MEAN ONLY reason I am selling my 928 is because this damn 911 4S he has is so incredibly sweet and I can't afford to have both cars (plus the other two I have).
WHAT YOU GET: You get the car as it currently sits with the original chrome wheels in the pic with fairly new tires (less than 3000 miles). The car is Venitian Blue, with blue interior.
This car rides so smoothly and has zero vibration in the wheels or braking. It is very quite with the exception of a little vibration in the dash when you take off (hence the need for new motor mounts). The other repairs Sean and I discussed were things to do while you had the engine off the mounts, i.e., oil pan gasket, etc...
Because I intended to keep this 928, last month I contacted Rob Budd at Classic Nine Leathers and ordered a newly recovered dash and pod. They are scheduled to arrive today (june 7). I paid $1600 for both. Receipts will be provided. They have not been installed as of yet. You will have to have that done.
So you get the car in the pics, with a new dash and pod recover in blue. The car has ordinary wear and tear, but I feel it is necessary to state the obvious. This car is being old AS IS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. And while the old owner gave me a bunch of receipts, the car is 26 years old and almost every part on it is 26 years old! Sounds silly for me to say that, but for some folks I guess you have to say it.
Porsche 928s are beautiful, beautiful cars. They ride incredibly well. I want to keep this car, but I need the cash from the sale of this one and the other 911 to buy Boston guy's 911 4S.
Lastly, I have a detailed listing from Park Place Porsche in Dallas where the car was serviced by the 1st owner (a 60 year old woman).
Boston Guys Story: (from his Ebay sale to me 6 weeks ago).
Selling my 1987 Porsche 928S4. This is basically a ONE OWNER car that was purchased in February of 2012 from the original owner in Texas. It was owned by a wealthy woman who bought it new for her 60th birthday! Car has original 43,XXX mileage. The car is in perfect running condition and drives like new, no rattles or shakes, accelerates great and stops perfectly straight. It is well equipped and does have the rare rear AC system.
Although it was always garaged and mileage is low, I have went through this entire car over the past year doing thousands of dollars worth of needed things, both cosmetically and mechanically. I have all the reciepts for the work performed and it has had all the major maintenance done such as timing belts and rollers, oil pan gasket, complete tune up, CV boots and other miscellaneous things. Additionally, I went through the interior, steering wheel has been restored(stitching let go), front seats reupholstered using highest materials from Classic 9(drivers seat was worn and couldn't match perfectly). Car is all stock with the exception of the stereo, it has been upgraded with an Alpine unit that is very correct looking along with the addition of an alpine amplifier and very nice high end speakers that fit perfectly in the factory locations and look correct using factory grills. Car presently has brand new 19" wheels and tires as you can see in the pictures. I also have the factory wheels which happen to be the rare factory chrome versions of the flat style wheels, tires are new on the factory wheels. Mechanically the car is 98% perfect, not that I know what the 2% is that it needs, but nothing is ever perfect. Cosmetically the car is 95% perfect on the exterior, one or two minor blemishes/scratches as you might suspect, the interior is 95% perfect as well, the only thing that doesn't look "new" is the dash which does have small cracks but nothing that distracts from the cars overall quality.
I presently have a moderate car collection which includes amongst other cars, three Porsches. If I were to compare this car to a BRAND NEW car I would give the exterior a 7/10, interior 8/10 and mechanics a 9/10. Compared to other 928's of this vintage 1987-1990, this car is by far a superior example in terms of both overall condition and necessity for maintence and upkeep expenditures. As you likely know, you can buy one of these cars for $7k with 100k+ miles on it and then spend $5k+ to make it anything close to "nice", and you still have a car worth $8k because of the high mileage. I have spared no expense in buying, maintaning, restoring or anything for this car. Selling as I need to reduce the collection and focus on other priorities.

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office
Wed, 26 Dec 2012A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
Crash sends race car driver sliding into first place
Mon, Nov 21 2016A Belgian race car driver won an unexpected victory at the 2016 FIA GT World Cup race last weekend when he slid to victory on the roof of his car. According to Motorsport.com, this year's FIA GT World Cup race at the Macau Guia race track in Macau was more accident prone than usual. The race had already been delayed by one crash earlier in the day when Belgian driver Laurens Vanthoor went into Mandarin Bend too hot chasing Porsche driver Earl Bamber, to whom Vanthoor had just lost his lead. Vanthoor's Audi clipped a wall at about 155 miles per hour causing his car to flipped on to its roof and continued down the straightaway at speed. Thankfully, despite the speed and violence of the crash, Vanthoor escaped mostly unscathed. Officials immediately red-flagged the race and, because of delays caused by the earlier crash, the race was called. Since the race was canceled, officials performed a countback on the previous lap's results and declared Vanthoor the winner despite the fact that he finished upside down. In the aftermath, a shaken Vanthoor questioned whether or not he deserved to win. "I don't really know if I deserved it in a way, as I crashed and made a mistake and I am still a winner – which is very awkward," Vanthoor told Motorsport. "But I don't really know what to say. It would have been a better show for everybody without the crash and a better victory, but I don't know what to think about it."
