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.

Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911

Fri, 23 May 2014

Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.

Porsche planning Cayman GT4 racer

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

To say that Porsche is big in racing is like saying that Warren Buffett dabbles in mergers and acquisitions. But while it fields the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the bulk of its racing activities are undertaken by private teams that buy customer racecars from the factory. Those in turn are largely based on the 911, but the latest intel from the motor racing world indicates that Zuffenhausen is planning a more accessible customer race car.
The new, more affordable competition car is to be based on the Cayman and built to GT4 specifications, slotting in below the 911-based GT3 Cup, GT3 R and RSR. Autosport reports that Porsche has already developed a prototype and will shortly commence testing. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Cayman GT4 would seem to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage N24, Nissan 370Z Nismo GT4 and Maserati GranTurismo MC. It will also likely help Porsche foster enthusiasm for a potential road version that's already been spotted undergoing testing. Previous GT4 racing conversions of the Cayman, like the one pictured above, were carried out by third-party racing constructors not recognized by the factory.
Porsche may not be the only one showing interest in the category, however. BMW is said to similarly be considering a GT4-spec version of its M235i Racing model to compete in the same class, taking the place of the defunct M3 GT4 as the Bavarian marque's entry-level customer racing car.
