Up for sale is a true find. A 1978 Porsche 928 with the highly sought after 5 speed. This car comes equipped with power seats, locks and A/C. This extremely low mileage car has just 80,000 miles on it. It comes equipped with a 4.7 litre 16 valve V8 engine. The Porsche has power windows and locks, as well as A/C (needs to be looked at possible recharge). This car was kept in a garage for the better part of its life. It was in storage the last two years. Within the last 3 years prior to storage there was over $15,000 worth of maintenance, upgrades (stock) and repairs made with documentation. The owner spared no expense. This car was pampered. There is a brand new ($3,600) set of staggered Porsche wheels and tires on the car.
The body of this car is near perfect. No dents, rust or any physical damage. Glass is good. The interior is a mixed bag of condition. The seats are in fair condition. The dash is not cracked, but the leather is old. The headliner is ok. The carpet fair. There is no stereo but there are speakers.
The power windows and mirrors work fine. The headlight motors work fine as well.
The paint is shiny, but not perfect by any means. The roof and left fender are in black primer because there was some clear coat peeling.
You are looking at a true survivor. This car gets looks, thumbs up and compliments every time it comes out of the garage.
I am a very honest seller and want to disclose anything and everything that a buyer would want to know. Please ask any questions you want. Thank you for looking and good luck on your bidding!

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
