1989 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l Auto Enthusiast Owned High Quality Machine on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
I have been a 928 enthusiast since 1978 and this 1989 928 S4 was my car from 2004 to 2009. I own a Porsche repair shop for the last 30 yrs. I purchased this car in 2004 with a dropped camshaft timing belt. I fell in love with the look and condition of the car and decided to repair it to the max and keep it as my personal car. Making that decision, I spared no expense, removing the cylinder heads to inspect pistons and cylinders for any damage and they were found to be perfect and so the mechanical restoration began.
1. Cylinder heads received complete valve job, valve guides/seals, resurfacing, light porting of exhaust ports and polished combustion chambers. All gaskets and seals replaced with the latest greatest version. 2.In the process all electrical sensors were replaced with new OE Porsche pieces. All new fuel injectors OE, fuel pressure dampeners and regulator, fuel lines and vacuum lines, etc. 3.Intake manifold and cam covers disassembled, stripped and powder coated. 4. Replacement of both camshaft chains and tensioners, cam belt, all cam belt sprockets, rollers and water pump. 5.Replacement of distributor caps, rotors, sparkplugs, both ignition modules, and high performance spark plug wires. 6.All new hoses, belts, radiator, NEW Porsche AC compressor, expansion valve and hoses to compressor (retained R12 freon) 7.Amsoil synthetic oil, lube, ATF used throughout car, silver ceramic coated MSDS headers with X-pipe and high flow cats. 8.Both parking/fog light assemblies replaced with new assemblies which are now no longer available! 9.Front wheel bearings/seals replaced and Amsoil synthetic lube used. 10.All plastic inner fenders replaced with NEW ones on both front wheels. 11.Both under engine shields replaced with NEW OE Porsche ones, the metal shield is now no longer available. 12.Total CV rear axle rebuild with new CV joints, boots, flanges. The axles themselves I had black powder coated. 13 Fuel pumps replaced with new factory Porsche OE, new fuel lines, filter and the metal shield under the fuel pump/filter assembly I had black powder coated. 14.Mirrors and clock upgraded to GTS mirrors and clock(these were new pieces not used) Pricey Improvements that make big visual impact!! 15.New roof radio antenna 16.Transmission and torgue converter drained and filled with Amsoil synthetic ATF, new seal and filter, transmission pan black powder coated. 17.Rebuilt steering rack installed In the process of all these repairs, care was given to clean up and improve the area being worked on to make it look new as well. I have probably left out a lot of other things, parts and pieces that were done, but you get the idea of what has gone into this car and how its been cared for. Included in the pics is my folder of near $15,000. in just parts that went into this car. If I had kept track of my labor it surely would have approached that same cost figure. Presently, Im selling this car for my customer who purchased it from me in 2009. He is an executive for BNSF Railroad and has lightly used the car over the past few years. As mentioned above, the AC has lost freon and not cooling and he does not wish to repair at this time. With all that was replaced on the AC system I suspect a leaking line/connection. Make your offers knowing this problem exists and that some normal maintenance should be done. Sean Ratts, the 928 Doctor, has looked at this car and can verify condition etc. I am a member of the 928 Owners Club and PCA.Please contact me for any additional info that you would like to know. THIS CAR IS SOLD IN "AS IS" CONDITION AND THE BUYER ACCEPTS THIS CAR IN "AS IS" CONDITION, NO WARRANTY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS LISTING AT ANYTIME SHOULD THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. A $500.00 PAY PAL DEPOSIT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY UPON WINNING THIS VEHICLE AND IS NON REFUNDABLE. THE BALANCE MUST BE PAID IN CASH OR CHECK WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF WINNING UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH SELLER. IF THE BALANCE IS PAID BY CHECK, THE CHECK MUST CLEAR TO MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL BE RELEASED TO THE BUYER. THANK YOU Please do not make ridiculous offers as they will be laughed at and discarded |

McLaren P1 squares off against Porsche 918 in Evo track battle
Fri, Nov 21 2014Evo's side-by-side comparison of the McLaren P1 against the Porsche 918 Spyder isn't the first time we've seen England and Germany's ultimate automotive weapons sized up together; last month, Autocar tested them over the standing mile, with a Ducati 1199 Superleggera playing the joker. Evo throws a few curves at its test, though, taking the supercars to Anglesey Circuit in Wales to see which will lay down the fastest lap time with scribe Jethro Bovington at the wheel. In case the numbers haven't yet been seared into your memory, while both are assisted by electric motors, the 3,069-pound, rear-wheel drive P1 gets on with 903 horsepower and 664 pound-feet from a 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. The 3,750-pound, all-wheel-drive 918 Spyder does its job with 795 hp and 575 lb-ft surging out of a naturally aspirated, 4.6-liter V8. We're not told know which circuit layout he uses for the test, but both cars comfortably eclipse the mark set by the fastest coupe Evo's driven around it so far, the Ferrari 458 Speciale. Then, in an epilogue occasioned by a tire change, one of the supercars comfortably eclipses its own time again, before Bovington declares one the master of the track and the other the ruler of the street. Enjoy finding out which is which in the video above.
RM Sotheby's Turbollection features exotics from the '80s and '90s
Wed, Aug 14 2024If you have even a passing interest in cars, there's little doubt you know a thing or two about Porsche, whether the topic centers around a classic name like 911 or the more mainstream Cayenne and Macan crossovers. Bugatti? Sure, most people know about the historic French builder of world-class, record-setting automobiles, though admittedly the EB110 we're about to show you probably wouldn't be the first to come to mind. Fewer are likely familiar with the likes of Vector Aeromotive, a tiny American company with history that dates back to the 1980s. And we'd wager that most have never even heard of the likes of Isdera and Cizeta. Brush up on your history, (super wealthy car collecting) folks. RM Sotheby's has an exciting array of cars coming up for auction during the Monterey Car Week festivities on California. Among all the expected Ferrari, Lamborghini and Shelby classics potential buyers can wade through, the so-called Turbollection collection features much rarer oddities.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
