THE ULTIMATE GERMAN MUSCLE CAR... Dr. Porsche's Grand Daddy of Grand Touring. Roomiest of all the 2-door Porsches. Creature comforts galore.
FEATURES & OPTIONS:
This was the first year for the 928 having newer technology features such as dual airbags, digital information system, PSD (traction control) and RDK (Tire Pressure Monitoring System.) That's right, DUAL AIR BAGS and TPMS in 1990. Outside of the car being 95% original, the only factory-like modern-day upgrades are a stainless steel bezel package, "real" carbon fiber overlay package, modern style black leather shifter, stainless steel LED "illuminated" shift plate, and better interior lighting using LED's. NOTE: Because of the low mileage of this classic, all original important gaskets and seals were replaced including the bigger more expensive ones such as both door seals and the rear hatch seal. This "pure-bred" is now ready to transport to its new owner. To secure your place as the new owner, a deposit equal to 10% of the selling price will be required 48 hours at end of listing. New items include: gaskets, seals, license plate illumination lamp assembly's, re-wrapped re-stitched black leather steering wheel and pod cover, raised black leather center console armrest, stainless steel interior trim package, carbon fiber overlay kit, tires, brakes, discs, and rims. The dual A/C (Air Conditioning) system was recently pressure tested and recharged and is fully operational both front and rear. The glossy triple-black smoked glass look gives it a very exotic stance and makes for one of the best looking color combinations in a 928. Class and muscle combined. The quality of paint is hard to describe as it has a depth of two meters or more. A true mirror finish. You can read print fonts two meters away in the paint reflection of this "pure-bred." This is the best black paint finish I have seen in an exotic car in years dues to Porsche's quality in the application process. When the paint was being refurbished, it was "blocked". For those familiar with this body shop term, it means that only one panel at a time is worked on until it is perfected (polished) before moving on to another and then another until the entire body is complete. This is as professional as it gets in proper paint polishing. Along with the original black leather interior, all factory electrical and electronic features are in perfect working order. This specialty 928 makes for a great collectible for the exotic collector. Especially now that Porsche and Volkswagen will be sharing automotive assembly plants, parts and platforms. You saw the headline: VOLKSWAGEN TO ACQUIRE PORSCHE. You know what that means? The value of this "pure-bred" just went up. 100% Porsche built and Porsche owned. No compromised platform here as will occur with newer Porsche models in the future. SPECIAL BUYERS NOTE: This Porsche is being sold from a private collection. Not from a dealer lot or dealer inventory. This way you get to communicate directly with the owner. Not some third party who knows next to nothing about the drivability and true ownership experience. Just one more reason to acquire this black beauty, today. |

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
