1989 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l Auto Enthusiast Owned High Quality Machine on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
|
I have been a 928 enthusiast since 1978 and this 1989 928 S4 was my car from 2004 to 2009. I own a Porsche repair shop for the last 30 yrs. I purchased this car in 2004 with a dropped camshaft timing belt. I fell in love with the look and condition of the car and decided to repair it to the max and keep it as my personal car. Making that decision, I spared no expense, removing the cylinder heads to inspect pistons and cylinders for any damage and they were found to be perfect and so the mechanical restoration began.
1. Cylinder heads received complete valve job, valve guides/seals, resurfacing, light porting of exhaust ports and polished combustion chambers. All gaskets and seals replaced with the latest greatest version. 2.In the process all electrical sensors were replaced with new OE Porsche pieces. All new fuel injectors OE, fuel pressure dampeners and regulator, fuel lines and vacuum lines, etc. 3.Intake manifold and cam covers disassembled, stripped and powder coated. 4. Replacement of both camshaft chains and tensioners, cam belt, all cam belt sprockets, rollers and water pump. 5.Replacement of distributor caps, rotors, sparkplugs, both ignition modules, and high performance spark plug wires. 6.All new hoses, belts, radiator, NEW Porsche AC compressor, expansion valve and hoses to compressor (retained R12 freon) 7.Amsoil synthetic oil, lube, ATF used throughout car, silver ceramic coated MSDS headers with X-pipe and high flow cats. 8.Both parking/fog light assemblies replaced with new assemblies which are now no longer available! 9.Front wheel bearings/seals replaced and Amsoil synthetic lube used. 10.All plastic inner fenders replaced with NEW ones on both front wheels. 11.Both under engine shields replaced with NEW OE Porsche ones, the metal shield is now no longer available. 12.Total CV rear axle rebuild with new CV joints, boots, flanges. The axles themselves I had black powder coated. 13 Fuel pumps replaced with new factory Porsche OE, new fuel lines, filter and the metal shield under the fuel pump/filter assembly I had black powder coated. 14.Mirrors and clock upgraded to GTS mirrors and clock(these were new pieces not used) Pricey Improvements that make big visual impact!! 15.New roof radio antenna 16.Transmission and torgue converter drained and filled with Amsoil synthetic ATF, new seal and filter, transmission pan black powder coated. 17.Rebuilt steering rack installed In the process of all these repairs, care was given to clean up and improve the area being worked on to make it look new as well. I have probably left out a lot of other things, parts and pieces that were done, but you get the idea of what has gone into this car and how its been cared for. Included in the pics is my folder of near $15,000. in just parts that went into this car. If I had kept track of my labor it surely would have approached that same cost figure. Presently, Im selling this car for my customer who purchased it from me in 2009. He is an executive for BNSF Railroad and has lightly used the car over the past few years. As mentioned above, the AC has lost freon and not cooling and he does not wish to repair at this time. With all that was replaced on the AC system I suspect a leaking line/connection. Make your offers knowing this problem exists and that some normal maintenance should be done. Sean Ratts, the 928 Doctor, has looked at this car and can verify condition etc. I am a member of the 928 Owners Club and PCA.Please contact me for any additional info that you would like to know. THIS CAR IS SOLD IN "AS IS" CONDITION AND THE BUYER ACCEPTS THIS CAR IN "AS IS" CONDITION, NO WARRANTY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS LISTING AT ANYTIME SHOULD THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. A $500.00 PAY PAL DEPOSIT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY UPON WINNING THIS VEHICLE AND IS NON REFUNDABLE. THE BALANCE MUST BE PAID IN CASH OR CHECK WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF WINNING UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH SELLER. IF THE BALANCE IS PAID BY CHECK, THE CHECK MUST CLEAR TO MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL BE RELEASED TO THE BUYER. THANK YOU Please do not make ridiculous offers as they will be laughed at and discarded |

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
