1980 Porsche 928 running driving project car. Speedometer in kilometers 167,000 and all gauges labeled in german. Very cool. It has the engine that's much more powerful than the US model commonly seen. The 300 horse is actually hard to find nowadays it seems. The car fires right up, doesn't smoke, runs well too. I drove it 2 1/2 hours straight with no overheating or engine/trans problems. I don't think the heater heats. Drivers side door panel is off but I have most of it. Rear hatch interior panels are gone because the guy was planning on racing it but never got that far.  I have one of the rear seats and I believe half of the other one. Needs a drivers window switch. Motor works but switched recently stopped. May be a fuse. Drivers door handle is off but included. I think the brakes need a check up but they do work and it does drive. The car needs new plug wires also. Like I said it DOES run strong. I'm not one for beating on cars but couldn't resist a little acceleration action on the freeway ramp on my 2 1/2 hr drive. It was like a rocket on wheels. I think it could use a tuneup and general maintenance but man-o-man it has some serious power. 


The car is sitting in my driveway which is not flat. It needs to be leveled and that is why the car seems to be sitting a bit odd. 

This is an Arizona car also. Solid. Needs a muffler. It's loud. There is a crack in the windshield also.


Wheels shown are not included. I have a standard set of porsche 928 rims/tires that will go with it.  It looks like the rear quarters were altered slightly for bigger rear tires. I think it looks better than the stock wheel wells. The rear lip was moved up about an inch or so. They kept the original contours and lip but removed about an inch above the lip. Improved the shape greatly IMO. It's ready for some track tires or wide rims if you like. It looks like the car may have been hit in the far left corner at one time. Seems like the rear quarter has been straightened. It looks great going down the road. Paint is a ten footer but again it looks pretty sharp going down the road. I know there is a paint run under pass side mirror. It is missing the driver side 2 driving lights. The headlights won't go down and I don't know why but peeked at the relay board and realized the headlight motor relay was not there. I suspect the previous owner used the relay for something else perhaps. Front spoiler is missing mostly. Looks like they hit a curb. Rear spoiler needs to be bolted down tighter than it is. Hood catch needs to be looked at. It latches on the first notch but not second. Front seats need recovering. I have a really nice set of front power seats and rear seats from another 928 that have been recovered that I'd consider selling. 

Overall this is a very cool project 928. Also it is the desirable NON-sunroof car. Factory color was dark green, oak green I think. Needs a dash cover and pod cover like most of them do. Would make a killer race track car. Sold as-is.  Also I ship cars for a living and can get it delivered to you.  

reserve is set at $1500

Some added info:

Yes, the car is an S model and it has the m28/12 drivetrain. I rechecked again today, cleaned the block vin off and that IS what it is. The car has a euro pod but no third light in rear bumper. Not sure why but that's how it is. 

Drivers front corner is NOT wrecked, it looks kinda weird in the first photo but wasn't wrecked. The drivers side fog/driving lights and bezel are missing because the guy took them out when he was trying to get headlights to open and close, lost the parts thereby leaving them off. 

The white stuff in some of the pics is wax that needs to be cleaned off. 

I noticed a few pieces of window trim are loose, the rear quarter windows don't have the aluminum trim installed. Never got them. Still looks good. I think the paint could be wetsanded and buffed out nicely with some touchup. Looks like a couple of runs. 

Over spray on rear bumper thingees and on drivers front driving lights. 

Drivers door needs adjusting to close tight and outer handle is off. I have it. Also interior handles are both NEW.  

Sold as-is where is. Clean title NOT salvage either.

Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.

Seinfeld takes Seth Meyers out in the perfect Porsche

Sat, 13 Jul 2013

The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
