It's not often that you can own a true supercar. In 1983, the Porsche 928 was the fastest production car in America (top speed of 146mph in case you're wondering). I have certification papers from Porsche on the originality of the car. I also have the original rims with tires mounted and two boxes spare parts for the car (lights, timing belt, fuses, manuals etc.) that will go with it. This car spent most of its life in Florida and South Carolina. No rust problems at all. I have more pictures available of the car, and you're welcome to come see it in person. Third party inspections are also welcome.
Standard features on the 928 are plentiful, and they are as follows:
4.7 liter V8 with factory fuel injection
Cruise control
4-speed automatic trasnsmission
4 wheel independent suspension with Weissach rear axle (multi link system)
Tilt wheel and dash
Power windows
Power locks
Over the years, the only major aesthitic change this 928S has seen is the addition of 911 Turbo staggered rims and tires (225/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear Khumo ultra-high performance summer tires), and upgraded slotted front brake rotors and drilled rear brake rotors. Inside the car, the ears have been treated to a thumping stereo system for those times when the rumble of the V8 is not what you're looking for. Original options on the car are US Standard Emissions, Electric Sliding Sunroof (not currently working), Full Power Seat - Right, Protective Side Moldings, Standard Radio (upgraded), and Amplifier System (upgraded).
The only blemishes on the car are a rip on the rear center console and the loss of some leather on the rear seats. Both are visible in the pictures.
If you're looking for a 928, this is a nice one. If you're looking for a ridiculous amount of car for a reasonable price, bid with confidence.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death
Fri, 06 Dec 2013When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.
McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
