Our Porsche 928 was purchased new from Porsche-Audi Northwest/Continental Motors by a family member who liked the way the car looked. She called it her "blue bug" and never drove it over 50 mph. She didn't trust the small emergency spare tire, so she insisted on adding a new wheel and new tire, which she kept in the rear hatchback. It has never been used. She also "undid" the alarm after she had several episodes of accidentally setting off the alarm by opening the wrong door. We have all the paperwork and repair papers that she kept for several years. We received the car after her death and with the advice and mechanical expertise of the people at A&P Motors in Portland, we have enjoyed driving it for the past 14 years. The 110,317 miles are actual miles driven. We have new Pirelli tires, brakes and new battery in the past two years, but nothing major needed to be done.
Due to medical reasons we are going to offer this Porsche for auction and hope that someone will enjoy driving it the way it should be driven. Our mechanic's been nagging us to "take it out on the road and drive it", but we are not able to do that anymore. The alarm system needs to be reconnected; the passenger door automatic lock needs to be adjusted; the dash lights are touchy inside and should be looked at. The air conditioner needs regular servicing in 2013. The Berlin Blaupunkt radio ($1,300)was added when the car was purchased and she had automatic transmission instead of a manual. Please read the detail items on the photo of the original window sticker on this car. Take a close look at the Annual Fuel Cost information if you want an "oh no" moment. By the way, we get better than 11 mpg and always use Premium Chevron gas.
The interior is a lovely Cork leather, very comfortable. The external blue paint is original. The body is in very good shape and it has not been involved in any accidents. There are storage compartments in the dash, in the doors and between the seats. The driving position is fully adjustable, even to the angle of the steering wheel and instrument cluster. An illuminated make up mirror folds safely into the headlining. All glass is tinted. The car corners superbly and rides well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at whcram@msn.com or call 503.281.6625.
Trivia for those who are interested: a blue Porsche 928 like this one was seen in the old movie, "Scarface" and more recently in "Cars". In "Cars" it was named Sally.
Price includes extra wheel and tire.

VIN NUMBER LISTED WITH ITEM IS INCORRECT. it should be 9289200981.
Please take note of viewer's question re the VIN number. The tag on the door is correct: VIN NUMBER IS 9289200981. New photos being added to show: 1979 sales contract, State of Washington application for title, & official mileage verification form. All show correct VIN number. We took the vin from the sales label we found in her original owner's manual and apologize for our error.
Original owner changed her mind when she found out the car she liked had manual transmission. She wanted same car, but with auto transmission. Thank you to the sharp viewer who brought this to our attention. I cannot change the published VIN number on this listing since there is already a bid on this item, but we do have key paperwork since the contract was signed in November 1979.

This is embarrassing. I found a typo error in the description above. Actual miles driven should read: 119,317.

Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.
Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live
Fri, 13 Sep 2013That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...
Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
