Up for auction is this "Exceptionally Rare" 1995 Porsche 928gts. This was the final year of production for the Porsche 928gts. Ferdinand Porsche (owner of the company) reportedly drove one of these cars. The color is "Polar Silver." It has a black leather interior. It also has an electric sunroof. There were only 77 1995 Porsche 928gts cars produced. This car is Production #13 of 77. It is Serial #73. Only 9 of the 77 cars produced came in the color "Polar Silver." Only 6 of those 9 cars came in with the Automatic Transmission. It has 72871 miles. The engine is a 345 HP, 5.4L 32 valve V8. This car is in "amazing" condition and has a lot of extras you won't find on any other Porsche 928gts.
This car comes with Chromed Techart wheels (Germany) & centercaps. The front wheels are 8.5 x 18. The rear wheels are 10.5 x 18. They were both purchased and professionally chromed by "Wheel Enhancement" out of California. The wheels have four (4) Michelin Pilot Sport wheels on them with less than 600 miles on them. The front tires are 225/40 ZR18's. The rears are 295/30 ZR18's. The rear tires are very wide and completely underneath the body with no rub issues on the front or rear. This gives the car a very powerful and menacing appearance. It is a very cool look! I get compliments on this car every time I take it out in public.
The soundsystem includes a Alpine CDA9885 radio/CD player, and it is set up with an IPOD connecter hidden in the center console. All 10 of the factory speakers have been upgraded to MB Quart (German) speakers, along with a MB Quart Subwoofer. It comes with a Soundstream Van Gogh (VGA800.5) Amp that powers the system. This is an 800 Watt 5 Channel Amplifier, that has a very low Total Harmonic Distortion Level of .02%. This is the cleanest and the most crisp sound I have ever heard from a car stereo. The stereo has a complete system of MB Quart Crossovers set up to get the right frequencies to the right speakers. The MB Quart Subwoofer, MB Quart Crossovers, and the Soundstream Amp are all housed in the rear hatchback area in a professional cabinet that matches the black leather in the vehicle. This professional cabinet includes a discrete switch for black light illumination if desired. All of this was professional installed. No corners were cut, because I wanted it perfect. The car has also been equipped with a discrete (hidden) cable for connection of your radar detector to the visor.
Both factory front seats have been replaced with Black Leather Recaro adjustable seats with lateral and thigh support. They were just installed last year, and still look brand new. The car has been driven less than 500 miles since they were installed. They are "much" more comfortable than the original factory seats, and much sportier looking as well. They are fully adjustable. Recaro makes the best leather seats, and that is why I selected them for this car. The entire leather interior of the car is in "beautiful condition."
Mechanically, the car runs exceptionally well. It is very smooth with powerful throttle response. The "Timing Belt" (a critical element of these cars costing about $1000.00 parts + labor) was just replaced in June of last year. It has less than 500 miles on this new timing belt. The car battery was replaced in June of last year. This car has been "very well" taken care of. It has always been garaged, is rarely driven, and has been regularly maintained via service from Jones' Autowerks, Inc. (in San Antonio, TX). I have receipts documenting maintenance. I have owned this car since 2004. This vehicle can be inspected prior to sale at the buyers discretion to verify the condition of the car. The oil was changed less than 500 miles ago (Castrol GTX 20W50). The AC blows cold.
This is the nicest Porsche 928gts that I have ever seen, inside and out. The Porsche 928 "gts" is a very rare car anyway, but the 1995 928gts is the rarest and most desirable of all. It was the final year of production and represented the ultimate refinement of this model. Again, there were only 77 of these cars built, and this one was #13. I am selling this car because I am getting older and need to downsize my fine European car collection. This car is in superb driving condition, and it is ready to go and drive "now." Maintenance is up to date.
Thanks for looking. If you have personal questions, please let me know. I am very proud of this car, and if you are looking for a Porsche 928gts, you won't find one better, as the pictures illustrate. Pictures of the excellent black leather interior on this car will be posted shortly.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.
Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
