Please note! When I listed this car about a month ago.....the autocheck score was 63.......now it's much lower I suppose because I told the truth and listed the odometer as stopped working. FYI......Title is CLEAN and CLEAR! Here's from previous autocheck......take with grain of salt. :)
1986 Porsche 928S model, metallic gray paint with a burgundy interior. Hi.....this car is for sale by me the present owner for about the past year. Only selling it as I'm moving on to another more expensive sports car. The car is in very nice condition for it's age and one of the best 928S cars I've seen in a long time. I've personally owned 7 so far and this one is by far the best one I've owned. The paint is not perfect but is extremely nice for an almost 30 yr old car as is the interior. The dash is in good condition and no dash pad or covers are needed! All glass is good too and no cracks....but passengers window doesn't go down..(could be switch...I've just never looked into it). The only lights on the dash is the "antilock brakes"....the brakes work fine of course and I've never looked into this light as well. The A/C worked fine last summer but doesn't blow cold enough now....yet I'll have this charged (I had it converted over to R134 last summer) for the buyer at my expense! AM/FM cassette is installed along with all original speakers/amplifer and hooked up properly. Actually sounds very nice and loud without distortion, cracking or popping. May want to install a nice CD player if you like. The heater and fans work very nice for the winter too, as well as the sunroof, power seats, cruise control, heated rear glass, rear wipers, all lights work on the exterior of the car...bulb or two seems to be off on the night time interior lights (easy fix) if you wish. No rust I can see on the car either...not on edges or underneath. Car has new tires on the back as well as new/used later model Porsche Cup II wheels. Also installed are newer Porsche 964 mirrors on both sides....the are not hooked up but wires are there. I just never needed it since I was the only driver and set them for me. Parking brake works good too. Engine oil was just changed recently and timing belt tensioned by Porsche mechanic. Timing belt was replace twice as far as I can tell from the receipts included in the dash, and last time was around 153K miles or so. The power steering unit has a small leak but can't see any oil leaks. Also there is a small transmission leak that I have not investigated to date....but never have lost enough fluids to be concerned about...or even have to add. Transmission fluid is still FULL and I have not added any in a year! Oh...front shocks for hood are shot...needs replaced. Also.....the larger wheels/tires scrub just a tiny bit now and then on the rear of the car only. I take my 2 boys for drives around town in the car every week as we try to drive it at least a few miles every week. The car has been on long trips to Atlanta and North Carolina and has driven great. I' would not be afraid to drive this car across the country...it seems to be that dependable....yet please know you're buying a 28 year old car so please don't expect it to be new. Oh.....the drivers seat has a place where the leather has come unstitched...right where the seatbelt comes across......you can see it in the photo a bit. Rest of leather is really nice....and car has never been smoked in at all as far as I know. Just 3 owners! Cargo net in back and most tools are here as well as a spare tire and fire extinguisher in trunk. :) The car is sold AS-IS of course and due to the rising prices of 928's......this one is a great keeper!! I'm moving on to a different type sports car so that's the only reason I'm sell it. I've tried to think of everything possible to mention about the car.....but if you have any questions......please let me know. Thanks for looking and if you have ZERO or very LOW FEEDBACK.....you must write to me before bid or I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Winning bidder to pay $500.00 Deposit via paypal within 24 hours please to let me know you are serious. I will be happy to assist with your having the car picked up at YOUR expense if you're a bit too far away to consider coming to get it in-person. OH.........just had the rear brake pads changed and rotors turned about 1 month ago. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day! |

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)
