I loaned my 928 to a "friend" 3 years ago before i left and i just picked it back up. Apparently after the fuel pump failed he just left it outside to rot. Nice guy huh?
Luckily that was in southern California, or maybe i should say un-luckily.
The interior is completely ruined now. The leather seats are dried up and falling apart. The paint is in the same boat and just flaking off.
The good parts are the motor has great compression and runs fantastically. You'll need a new fuel pump to get it running though, i would also suggest removing the old fuel out of the tank.
The car has 43k orig miles. when i bought it there were 41k and i enjoyed driving it to and from LA to SF a few times. It handled great and earned me more than a few speeding tickets. Its really a wonderful car to drive, but in its current condition i dont have the heart to take on the project. That and the lady is not excited for the project either.
It is a 5 speed manual with a limited slip in the rear. I upgraded the headlamps to Hella H4 lights that are fantastically bright.
I have changed the wheels over to the S flat disc style and found the Euro 8" wide rear wheels which really fill out the fender much better than the stock 7" rims.
The tires are Yokohama AVS that are at full tread. Fronts are 225/50/16 and the rears are 245/45/16.
The car is otherwise completely stock.
I will offer to deliver the car within 500 miles for $0.50 per mile from 95136.
Use Google maps to see how far your house is from my zip code, multiply that mileage by $.50 per mile and that's the delivery cost.
Otherwise you'll need to come pick it up and it will need to be trailered.
If you live further than 500 miles, we might be able to work something out.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.
Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?
Sun, 06 Oct 2013Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.
