First Off... This is a original 1986 California 928 4 cam 32 Valve engine car . Purchased from a drug seizure Sherriff Dept auction in 2006 and the reason the interior was removed in the first place ( marijuana smell ). Absolutely no smell any longer.
A fully modified 928 4 cam 5 liter engine car with the rare 5 speed manual transaxle. A $2000 certified NASCAR type cage is installed . Note that the cage extends into the door cavities for the ultimate in side and roll over protection for the driver. There is no interior in this car except for the Kirkey driver seat and the instrument cluster and fuse/relay board. No heater/AC, to shave weight. Pop up headlights and their motors were removed and replaced by fiberglass blank outs ( see note below). Battery box now in passenger seat position but factory box in the rear and it's wiring is all still there. Race box can be removed fairly easily. It is estimated to be 600 lbs lighter than a factory S4. Hollow spoke twist alloys with Porsche cup slicks mounted. The massive black brembo calipers and drilled rotors to slow you from the 180 mph speed are all there. A custom beautiful mandrel bent slip joint fitted dual pipe large diameter exhaust system with dual DTM tips is mounted. Sounds incredible ( can send a short video file with sound of the car running if requested ). Headlight hole fiberglass blank outs included. This is a running driving car but in it's current form is too modified to be street legal ( now that I have headlights for it it can fairly easily be made road legal again ). This model was the worlds fastest production car in the mid eighties. They are dead stable at 150 mph plus. I bought it to race the Silver State Classic open road race in N. Nevada . Now let something like that be your passion. Cheapest way to get into the upper echelon of production road racing. The wing is not some add on kids thing. Built for downforce specifically for this chassis. This car was built January of 1986 with certifications for California with ZERO rust. Just surface rust on the cage from being in my garage and other storage for a while. Slicks are old and would need to be changed. Car runs and drives but needs some minor finishing and trimming ( like painting the cage after race officials looking at the welds ) and installing polycarbonate for the rear windows. Only the OEM windshield is installed. Again.. more weight savings. This is a sunroof car but I'm adding a non sunroof clip ( complete roof with pillars ) in case your sanctioning body doesn't like the hole there. Car in all pictures other than the outside picture after getting a bath is dusty. Just sitting for a while always inside. Fresh fuel added recently after draining old fuel. Original paint can clean up nicely. I have all the required paperwork to legally register this car in any state you wish ( once it's got some lights again ) from the auction. In California I would simply submit the docs and pay the fees to get a title issued again. In other words I have legal ownership that can be transferred to anyone else for this car.
Entire car has been looked over by pro's and there is no evidence of any accident damage. Car Fax supports this. Only the front and rear fascia's have been changed over to the more aero later model types. Car was under dealer lease/maintenance ownership for the first 15 years of it's life.
Engine has been rebuilt by a reputable shop in the Bay Area of California and has 45k miles since being rebuilt. Right rear wheel bearing is worn but entire replacement hub/rotor included with car I recently bought the headlights, the linkages and the motor drive so with very little work this can be made street legal again. Talk about a Autobahn burner.
Engine and trans numbers as follows: Engine M28/43 Trans 28/05-119
This makes the transmission one out of an earlier car. Probably for the better gear ratios for road racing.
On the odd chance that a guy had a Honda 20 or 25 HP Four Stroke outboard engine with electric start and power trim that runs well I would entertain a $2500 credit against the purchase of this car.
I will deliver to your choice of local shipper or we can arrange me delivering the car up to 1000 miles for $2.00 per mile prepaid for purchase and delivery of course. See my feedback. I'm honest and will answer any questions you have. Feel free to ask for more pictures.
I will not ship this car overseas. Payment in U.S. Funds and only first party transactions. Deposit of $500 can be made via Paypal . Balance due in certified funds before car will be released. Contact me for further questions. |

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
