1981 Porsche 928 5 Speed With Sbc 350 From Renegade Hybrids on 2040-cars
Aurora, Colorado, United States
|
1981 Porsche 928 5 speed with Chevy 350 The best of both worlds. Porsche styling and handling with the reliability, power, and maintainability of a SBC. This is not a shade tree conversion. The conversion was done at Renegade Hybrids of Las Vegas (renegadehybrids.com) and owned by a mechanic who was employed there before I bought it. Included is the full 928 factory workshop manuals on CD. Engine: 350 SBC with Holley 750 CFM single pumper. Less than 1K miles on top end rebuild that included new cam, lifters, timing gears/chain, and rockers at over $2k. Included is a Holley 4Di TBI system (ECM currently installed, throttle body removed) with software. Custom aluminum headers to a 3 inch single exhaust, 2 cats, and a Flowmaster turbo muffler. Custom oversized aluminum radiator with thermostat controlled fan in front, and twin manual fans behind. Drivetrain: Porsche 5 speed manual, hydraulic carbon fiber clutch, 80% LSD. Car: 1981 928 repainted Porsche Panther Black with S4 spoiler. Always covered or garaged. The car sits on 17" 911 cup wheels with Yokohama ES100 Front (225/45/ZR17) Rear (245/45/ZR17) and Biltstein struts all around. Newer black carpets, with tan leather interior. Front seats in good condition with no rips, back seats average. Tan and black dash mats (leather is deteriorated). Bad: Will not pass Colorado emissions. Carb is jetted low and it passes CO, but not HC. I have been told that this may be a timing issue, but I cannot confirm. Being a 1981, it only requires the standing test. Small leak in the radiator (Stop leak may fix, but I personally won't use it). Dash lights are all out, but I have LED replacements. Crack in windsheild. Climate control not working (only fan on defroster). Second gear synchro worn and odometer does not work (common issues). Clean Colorado title, and my only involvement in shipping will be backing out of the garage and handing the keys to your shipper. $16,500 or best offer |

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown
Fri, 07 Nov 2014We'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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
