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.

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.

Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.
