Winning Bidder of the auction (when listed two weeks ago) claimed wife had seizures the night before the auction ended and so he was distraught and could not follow through with the purchase. Then a few days later he offered me $1000 instead of what he had bid for the closing bid (almost $4000) (His reasoning was because he would have to buy an airline ticket to come and pick up the car)...his user name is ncgems57, he will be blocked from bidding on any future auctions.

The Porsche 928 won the European Car of the Year award for 1978, It came with aluminum doors which were galvanized for protection. Porsche upgraded the V8 engine to the 295 Horsepower engine in 1980, this has always been what created the name in performance for Porsche. If you read any of the blogs of 928 owners, they all say it is simply an amazing car, with amazing handling, and amazing speed.

This Porsche originally sold for $37,930

Low Retail (by NADA standards) is $8,100

Average Retail is $11,400

While High Retail is $15,200

In its current condition this car is between Low and Average Pricing by NADA standards. A new owner will NOT be disappointed!

This car’s details:

This is a beautiful 1980 928 Porsche that is still original, never having undergone a restoration. The car has had two titled owners, with the second buyer purchasing the car in 1985 and then changing the color from Porsche brown to Porsche red. It was done very professionally which is still apparent. Please note, there are some waterspots in the pictures, it had just rained shortly before I took them. Those are not flaws in the paint.

Electric Windows & Seats & Locks.

The Porsche has been parked inside storage now for almost 20 years, and is in excellent condition…but of course cannot be expected to be in perfect condition. I will attempt to list the flaws I have found. First of all, the car will require a new exhaust system (but truly sounds fantastic without it). The car starts and runs would expect, before it would start the fuel pump had to be changed from being stored for so long. It goes down the road just as would be expected, and stops without problems…the headlights even go up and down as would expected.

The only four things that I can find that it needs mechanically (besides the exhaust) would be better clean up under the hood to include either cleaning or adding an additional spring to the throttle. Most of the time it will pull back all of the way when you let it off the gas, but sometimes it doesn't travel that last 1/8th of an inch for 15-20 seconds. The passenger window also doesn't go down (Electric windows, driver’s works great). The electric antennae will also have to be replaced when a stereo is added, there is no stereo currently. I do not remember if it has AC, I think it does, but I know it is not charged, and I did not see the tach work when I drove it.

As for the body as you can see in the pictures this car is very clean…the only actual rust spot I could find is a dime size spot below the rear window on the driver’s side. I also took pictures of the bottom of the driver’s door which looks as if there eventually might be some paint peeling…the door is galvanized, so I do not think it is due to rust, and the bottom of the door is extremely clean. Again, I am simply trying to list everything I can find so a new owner will not in any way be disappointed.

Next, on to the interior…everything is leather, and for an obvious reason this was one of the only years they also did the dashboard in leather. As you can see in the picture as the leather dries it pulls at the seams of the dash, and this one is no different. The interior also smells like dry leather. The driver’s seat is comfortable, but you can tell the leather is harder than it should be…the passenger one is even drier. I put leather treatment on it, but do not really see a lot of difference. In the back seat, one side has had a baffle replaced, and there are extra baffles that go along with this auction. The center armrest in the backseat also has some leather that has cracked and separated.

All in all for an original car this is in excellent condition, but it is also important to realize that it is not in perfect condition. It will certainly make a collector proud, especially after giving it a little TLC…but all of the TLC is minor stuff. I am not sure what else I can say about the car, between what I have listed and what the pictures show…you can certainly contact me if you want additional questions answered.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche buys stake in carbon fiber partsmaker, Formula E runs on solar

Thu, Mar 5 2015

The US Department of Energy is providing $35 million in new funding for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. The money will fund projects to advance technology and speed up adoption of fuel cell applications like light-duty vehicles. Categories for possible projects include deployment of fuel-cell electric hybrid vehicles, mobile refueling and one called "Crosscutting: America's Climate Communities of Excellence." Other possible projects include research and development for hydrogen production, delivery and fuel cell manufacturing. Read more from the DOE. Porsche will buy a 25.1-percent stake in carbon fiber parts manufacturer Capricorn Composite GmbH. Capricorn has provided parts for Porsche's LMP1 racecar and 918 Spyder. The deal will give the automaker better access to the lightweight material going forward, and will "build on joint work over many years in the motor-sports industry and secure the future," according to Porsche. Porsche's parent company Volkswagen owns almost 10 percent of Capricorn's competitor SGL Carbon SE, but an expansion of that ownership could be thwarted by BMW, which controls more of SGL's stock. Read more at Bloomberg. The electric racecars running in the Formula E Miami ePrix will use solar energy. Florida Power & Light (FPL) will provide the electricity the cars will be using for the race on March 14, and its Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center provided the electricity the cars used during the announcement event. "Our partnership with Formula E and the Miami ePrix is another example of our commitment to advancing zero-emissions solar energy and the use of electric vehicles in Florida," says FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy. FPL currently operates two other solar plants, with plans to install 1 million solar panels at three more power plants by the end of next year. Read more at Domestic Fuel.

Chris Harris hits the track in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Sat, May 23 2015

One of the wonderful things about Chris Harris on Cars is the enthusiasm that the host brings to the screen. Granted, it would be hard not to enjoy a day driving around in a supercar that you don't own. Still, Harris brings a sense that he knows how rare these opportunities are and relishes them. In his latest look at the two sides of the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS, you can tell this guy is having a lot of fun. The GT3 RS is a 500-horsepower, track-focused weapon, but it's expected to drive to and away from the circuit after a day of laps. Therefore, Harris decides to evaluate the attributes of this Porsche in both environments. On the road, he sweeps an orange example over some beautifully, undulating German backroads but keeps things rather tidy. However, in the latter half of the video, he arrives at the Weissach test track for a go in a purple RS. There, he really lets the rear hang out.
