1986.5 5-speed Porsche 928 S Turbocharged 22,900 Miles, 2-owner Concours Gt Gts on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Parting with my beloved after 7 years of great car shows,
OCIC, and ThirdCoast Events, usually placing/winning entered events including
another 1st place at the regional annual 928 Third Coast show last weekend. No wrecks, never been disassembled (engine or body) for any reason Imported in Cali, shipped to the northeast US for a while,
then to Honolulu where I purchased in Hawaii in 2006 with 10,700 miles from
first owner Had been washed 20x and
waxed 3 (yes, he knew). Porsche of Honolulu wouldn't take my $ for a PPI:
car was known by all in the shop to be basically as-new....even the 20-year old
t-belt! I have scans of both the original title from Original window sticker $54,900 new in '86. Window sticker is now hard-laminated and included with sale. Red/black, some leather options such as rear seat backs, door sills, and rear quarters. Mink-oil conditioned Leather is 10/10, interior is 10/10. It is as-new in all respects: texture, softness, stitching, coloration, no stretching, etc. Only the radio unit has been modernized and the ashtray replaced with an AEM Wideband gauge and an AEM TruBoost boost controller. Original ashtray will be included in sale of car, though car has NEVER been smoked in and still smells new. 8-way power on both seats Stored in my Air Conditioned garage and rarely sees sunlight. Yes, the dashboard is perfect. Car did ship to original owner with both a vinyl and a leather sunvisor: weird. Rare side-molding delete option on an exquisite exterior 9.5/10 condition after 27 years. Paint ONLY receives the oily Natty's Red Paste wax to help preserve it's perfectly colored and sun-protected Guard's Red paint and all black trim/rubber seals. Never buffed, no paint burns. Rear-driver's 3/4 shot shows touched up scuffs from original owner. There are a few paint blemishes but overall presentation is stunning and there are panels on the which remain showroom perfect in all respects. No rock chips (except for mirrors which is common), just a few rock scuffs. All lenses, glass, seals, trim, rubber are as-new as if just rolled off the assembly line except for the lower door seals where a linear crack is evident as they are on all 928’s purely based on the pressure placed on them over the last 27 years. Seal itself is perfect and does not accumulate wax nor is the crack noticeable; it’s just there so I must disclose that.
Turbocharger kit was installed in 2007: a single
Dual-ballbearing T67mm Precision unit with the kit manufactured by
Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts - Boostlogic.com Performance Racing
parts and myself. Tuned to 405rwhp/400rwtq at mere 5.5psi with custom timing
chips by Sharktuner and an SMPT-6 piggy back fuel tuner. A Bosch 044 fuel
pump and new fuel filter was added in ’07 during kit installation. No lag, great sound, super reliable as I’ve
not adjusted/touched a single aspect of the turbo kit since it’s installation
in ’07.
Dual air conditioning converted to R134a by the
Butter-smooth shifting 5-speed with Original clutch. I've
owned 5 other 928's including the pictured race car: this car drives/shifts
as-new in all respects. Other items: 3M tint, 3M clear bra, retrofitted HID
Fogs in factory housings. Lloyd's "turbo" 928 floor mats, adjustable
sway bar, front Koni's, original brake rotors and pads, 18x10 & 18x8 Sport
Edition Cup wheels (245/35), and 295/30 road race R888's in the rear because
spinning the tires at 80mph tends to drain your adrenaline pretty quick.
No oil leaks. Maintenance: 2006 when received: t-belt,
idler bolt bushings, all fluids flushed (redline, ATE Super blue, G05 w/water
wetter and a 75 degree t-stat), new ignition wires, plugs (for turbocharging).
New tie rods and delrin bushings at PS rack + alignment to sharpen steering
after lowering 1.25"
2007: turbo kit, front Koni's, epoxy-painted calipers, SS
brake lines, ATE Super blue. OIl changed every 2k miles: Valvoline Racing 20/50
with OE Porsche filters.
Factory air box, air tubes, catalytic converters available
with car...car passed Texas emission testing EASILY while
turbocharged...without cats. Video's available on Youtube under
PorscheMark69
All records, hard-laminated window sticker, factory
books/manuals, luggage cover, cargo net, three keys, and OEM '86 Porsche car
cover all included with sale.
open to other '85-00 Porsche partial trades
Will deliver within 200 miles of This
car is known to be the lowest mile 86.5 in the country. It’s probable that it’s nicer than any GTS
you may be looking at currently…so why
pay more for a car that’s not in as good of condition and is slower or worse,
is an automatic. You REALLY want the 5-speed…makes all the difference on 928s! It's reserve is
priced accordingly but is also the best out there in addition to the low
mileage. It's light, fast, not too quiet, smooth, classic, it handles, it
brakes, and draws attention wherever it goes. I reserve the right to cancel
this auction due to it being posted on the PCA national site as well as a few
other places. Email me if you really want it now. :) Good luck. |

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Porsche Macan configurator lets you build $110k crossover
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Part of the idea behind the new Porsche Macan is that it's less expensive than its larger sibling, the Cayenne. But with a starting MSRP of $49,900, the base Macan S is actually $300 more expensive than the cheapest Cayenne. That, however, is just the start, as you can see from the online configurator.
As is often the case with German cars in general (Porsches especially), tick the right boxes and you'll soon be leaving that base price behind in a cloud of tire smoke. Start off with the Macan Turbo and you're looking at a base MSRP of $72,300, which is already over twenty grand more than the naturally-aspirated version. But even that soon escalates as the options pile on.
Aurum Metallic paint will set you back $3,120. 21-inch wheels, another $3,300. You'll probably want the air suspension, torque vectoring, the Sport Chrono package, adaptive cruise control and lane-change systems, and those each add over a grand to the price. A Burmester surround sound system is the single most expensive option at $4,290. And if you choose them all - and choose all the optional trim packages - you'll soon be looking at a price in excess of $110,000. That's enough to get you into a Cayenne Turbo... assuming you don't tag on all the options to that one, too.
