I just added some photos of the engine, etc. along with the vin#. and some addtl. info provided by a fellow Ebayer. For sale is a very nice example of the first year Porsche 928. It is an extremely rare European delivered model. The American -vs- European models differ in that the Euro models are sleeker. Euro models only have one side rear view mirror on the drivers side, and do not have the considered unsightly rear side reflector markers. This 928 is completely original, interior, exterior, etc. This 928 is in very very good condition. No rust that I can see. The pictures will speak for themselves. The only reason I am selling her is because I just dont drive it very much. It starts, runs, and drives excellently. This 928 is a 5 speed manual model. Tires and brakes are in excellent working order as well. The only thing that does'nt work is the in dash cassette/radio. I realize that most folks would likely want to upgrade the radio anyhow. An interested party did some research on my 928. Here is what he kindly informed me of; 

Regarding the vin# 9288102430, the 8 after 928 indicates the Model Year, 8 for 1978.
The 1 incicates that it is the European Model with 177kW/240PS, American models have a 2 instead (169kW/229PS)
The 0 means Coupe
and the last 4 digits are the ongoing serial number. So, the European models like this one have more horsepower (240 hsp -vs- 229 hsp) than do their American counterparts. The auto can be seen, and driven in Carmel, Indiana. Pls. feel free to call me with any questions. Thank you! Brian 317 771 9294

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.

Watch Larry Kosilla resurrect the finish of this barn-find 1966 Porsche 912

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Larry Kosilla, the founder of the Ammo NYC line of car cleaning products, has his own show YouTube's Drive network - we saw his work before when he gave a Ferrari 288 GTO a two-day detailing job. On this episode, Kosilla gets called in to do his best with a 1966 Porsche 912, a car that was last registered in 1990 and recently found in a barn in Connecticut.
Among the expected dirt and cobwebs, the Irish Green Porsche is also covered what is assumed to be cat fur and "waste." The car is in such delicate condition, however, that Kosilla can't wash it for fear of getting more water in it than on it, so he has to steam and wipe the entire thing down before he begins the paint correction process. In addition to the thorough knowledge of his work and his ability to explain it simply, the episode is captioned with further information one of Porsche's popular but less regarded models, and how Kosilla does what he does.
You'll find a compelling 29 minute masterclass in the video below.

Porsche skipping 2017 Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jul 26 2016

Porsche is going to pass on the annual North American International Auto Show in January 2017. The news was first reported on Tuesday by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. NAIAS spokesman Max Muncey confirmed the report to Autoblog. According to Automotive News, Porsche will shift its auto show focus to April's New York International Auto Show and November's Los Angeles International Auto Show. Chicago Auto Show spokesman Dave Sloan reached out to Autoblog to add that Porsche is doubling the size of its exhibit in the Windy City. According to AN, Porsche "viewed the cost and value of participating in the Detroit auto show were no longer viable." See, Detroit is big on news and debuts instead of ultra-impressive ticket sales. But over 1 million people passed through the doors of the Jacob Javits Center in New York last year, just under 200,000 more than in the Motor City. LA, meanwhile, is Porsche's biggest US market, which explains the loyalty. In other words, Detroit's great for debuting cars, but without anything new Porsche can get more cluck for its buck by reallocating resources to New York and LA. If Porsche's rationale sounds familiar, it's because it is. Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Tesla used Detroit's heavy focus on new vehicle introductions and its relatively small attendance to skip the 2016 North American International Auto Show in favor of shows with higher attendance. Porsche previously skipped the 2009 NAIAS, citing similar reasons. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News - sub. req.Image Credit: Patrick T.
