1985 Porsche 928S, 5.0 32 valve 288 hp V-8, 5 speed, A/C blows cold, 49,500 miles. This is a very nice Porsche 928 that drives great, steers, stops, shifts, idles and revs up like it should. It's a Porsche would be proud to own and can drive anywhere in comfort with cold a/c and excellent handling. No mods, 100% stock (except for the Alpine am/fm cassette radio which works great). I have all service records back to 1988. Tools are all there, as is the spare and jack. I have the owner's manual, but not the service book. The car is rust free.

I spent the last year getting all systems totally up to snuff, enhancing the driving experience and reliability. I decided to replace the timing belt 4/17/14 so wouldn't have any concerns, overkill I know. Here's a sample of some but not all of the recent service work performed:

49,380 miles 4/17/14; Timing Belt, 4 new Continental perf. tires, oil & filter (water pump inspected, perfect shape and no leaks, 20,000 miles since new, mechanic advised to leave it alone). Yes, you can call the mechanic...
46,787 miles 8/9/13; new lower ball joints, rebuild all four brake calipers, new brake hoses, new battery
46,641 miles 5/23/13; A/C compressor, hoses, receiver dryer, flush and fill with R134a
40,799 miles 6/2/11; Timing belt and rollers, fan clutch, other misc.
37,377 miles 9/11/09; motor mounts, complete clutch R&R, clutch master cylinder
28,507 miles 3/6/02; Timing Belt, water pump, misc.

The paint is very nice, nearly excellent, has only the most minor and hard to find tiny scratches, maybe 4 total (and not touched up). Mostly original factory red paint, some repaint long ago on the lower right door. Shiny all around, no fading anywhere. The rear spoiler in in fine shape. The rear bumper cover was also repainted 7/21/11 after a stoplight bump at a cost of $1,400, the match is perfect. The paint is a 9 of 10 overall. The doors open and close with vault like precision, electric door locks work.

Glass is good all around, no chips or dings, both side windows go up and down with ease. The rear hatch and hood stay up with gas shocks as they should. The front wipers work as does the rear wiper work. The cruise control works. The underside of the hood still has the original hood pad insulation. The sunroof open and closes as it should, all gauges and light work perfectly. I changed out the headlamps the the later version USA spec 8" units.

The interior is exceptionally clean and shows wear consistent with miles. No rips or tears, seats are nearly perfect, as are door panels, all carpets in very good/ clean shape. Dash pod has one crack front to back, otherwise exceptionally nice. Stock 16" wheels show some etching from previous owners use of harsh wheel cleaner. Clean and rub with Vaseline and the streaks go away and the wheels are very presentable.

Mechanically, the engine starts easily and idles smoothly at correct rpm, runs well cold or hot, no overheating, electric fans comes on, no oil consumption can be observed between oil changes. No big drips on the garage floor when parked, but a couple of dime size ones after sitting a week. Shifting is smooth and no noise or grinding, in any gear, up or down. Clutch pedal is easy to operate, clutch take up is smooth, starts engaging halfway thru pedal travel. One item that does not work as new (the only item I can think of) is the reverse lockout feature. Power assisted brakes are immediate and progressive, very confidence inspiring. The ride is firm but not jarring as it should be. Power steering is precise, alignment done 4/127/14 with new tire install.

This is a very good high performance Porsche 928...and a 5 Speed WITH LOW MILES! Red and tan leather/ brown dash and carpets, nice color combo. V-8 power an torque...cold a/c..AND IT'S A 5-SPEED.

I highly recommend you invest the time to see the car in person, or send someone to see it. We have a lift if you want see the (rust free) chassis, etc. Clear title in hand, cash only, no trades, etc. Fly into BWI, drive it home when your funds clear. Ask for my number if you're serious about the car.

Other questions, please ask.

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.

See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against

Tue, 07 May 2013

One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.
