You are looking live at a 1982 Porsche 928 in its original splendor. Before the whale tale and body side trim, this is the original body of the 928. A little background: I graduated high school in 1982 and this was my dream car. In 2009 I was looking through Ebay for months and months and finally came across this car. It was at a dealer in Chicago and had been stored for many, many years. I bought it sight unseen for $8,000.00. I had it shipped to Texas and I took it to 911 Enterprises in Dallas. I asked them to look it over and tell me whether it was a keeper and worth fixing. The car was in very solid condition but needed a ton of general maintenance. After they gave me the list, I said, "do it." 4 pages worth of repairs and $10,464.96 later, she came home. New timing belt, new belts, steering column bearings, shifter ball socket, wheel bearings, tie rods, rotors, brakes --you get the picture. The receipts and details are yours. She came home and a year or so later i looked at her and said, "she needs a paint job." So I had her repainted. The doors, hood, windows, etc... were all removed. (see pics). $5,500 later she came home. Now I had a great looking car, with new paint, that turned heads. Only 1 problem. I live in Texas and without A/C you have about 3 months you can drive. So in 2011, I sent her to a 928 specialist in north Dallas (Sean Ratts) and he redid the a/c system. New compressor, blower motor, evaporator core, etc... $3,500.00 later she came home. Once I got her home, no kidding---stinking gas tank began to leak. I drained the tank and let her sit. Why? Well because at the time I had a BMW M3, a vette and a Range Rover. If you own any of those cars you know, they are not cheap to keep.

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.
See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against
Tue, 07 May 2013One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"
Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne
Thu, 05 Dec 2013The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
