1986 Porsche 928 S Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Gray, Maine, United States
I have a 1986(.5) 928s. It is after vin#1000 so it has the much bigger better S4 brakes. Exterior of the car is in excellent shape, No rust anywhere to be found. Interior is in good shape, although it is worn in. There is a small wear spot on the drivers side rear seat back form getting in and out of the car. Car is currently registered, inspected, insured, and driven a couple days a week, so the mileage may go up a little, and test drives are possible if your in the area.
car comes with 2 sets of wheels and tires. 1 set of stock d-window 16" wheels, and 1 set of 18" turbo twists from a 996. I'll take less money for the car if you don't want the 18s (i can still put them to good use), contact me for details if this interests you. 288hp from a 5.0L liquid cooled 32 valve v8, automatic transmission, starts, runs drives, and stops very well. there are a few flaws in the car, nothing out of the norm for a 27 year old porsche. There a worn spot on the lower drivers side of the drivers side seat back from entering the car, the AC doesn't work (service records indicate that the lower condenser hose is cracked, and it wasn't repaired since the car is used in new england and isn't necessary most days), the rear wiper works intermitently, and the power seat on the passenger side is unresponsive. None of these have hampered my enjoyment of the car.
I will take cash, check (wait for it to clear), money order, or paypal is fine so long as you pay 3% above to cover the costs of the service Car is currently in Gray Maine. Car can be picked up. I also have a car trailer, i can deliver and or meet within a 3 hour radius of 04039 for $.75/mi. I frequently drive from southern maine to eastern ma so if your in my area contact me and I can get it to you cheaper. I can also assist a truck driver (per your arrangement) load the car if it was going further. If you have any questions, need pictures of anything specific, or anything else, dont hesitate to ask. 207-229-9550 |

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC
Sun, 19 Jan 2014In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.
