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.

Is Porsche planning a GT5?

Tue, May 19 2015

A trademark application filed in Europe suggests Porsche could be planning a GT5 model to slot at the bottom of its track-focused sports car lineup. The German automaker's GT skunkworks division in Weissach earned its reputation with enthusiasts producing the GT3 and GT3 RS versions of the 911, and previously offered GT2 and even GT1 models as well (although the latter was a limited homologation special). It recently extended itself slightly downmarket with the launch of the Cayman GT4, but this trademark application – already reportedly accepted in Germany and currently being reviewed by the European office – suggests an even more accessible model could be on its way, Autocar reports. Just what form a GT5 would take, however, remains a mystery. The numerical progression would suggest that Porsche is planning a hardcore version of an even smaller sports car, if such a project ever got off the ground to slot in below the Boxster and Cayman. Given that the 911 has bred both GT2 and GT3 versions, Weissach could alternatively be planning an additional GT version of the Cayman, or planning a hardcore version of the Boxster. The prospect of a GT5 version of the Macan, Cayenne, or Panamera seems unlikely as the alphanumeric designation has never been applied to anything other than a two-door coupe, but then we never really know what the future will bring: Before 2002 Porsche had never done anything with more than two doors altogether. These designations are typically borrowed from their corresponding racing class, and of course there is no GT5 category. But then most of these racing classes have been amalgamated into GT3 anyway, unless Porsche is planning on using the name for its own entry-level spec racing series. But at this point we're just spitballing. It's just as likely that the company has simply filed the trademark application to keep its options open for the future. Related Video:

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.

Porsche Cayenne GTS, base models revealed ahead of LA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.
Sitting below the Turbo in the lineup, the latest GTS still offers plenty of performance. It drops the previous version's naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a tuned version of the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 from the Cayenne S for some added oomph. The tweaks bring power up to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket the model to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The bump also equates to 20 hp and 39 lb-ft more than the current S and more importantly 20 hp and 62 lb-ft more than the previous GTS, according to Porsche.
In addition to the extra muscle, Porsche also decks the GTS out with some added features. It comes with a standard sport exhaust and Porsche Active Suspension Management system with an air suspension lets the chassis sit about three-quarters of an inch lower (20 millimeters). To bring things to a halt, the high-performance models also takes its brakes from the Turbo model.
