1981 PORSCHE 928 S-COMPETITION PACKAGE(THIS WAS AN OPTION ON EARLY 928's. IT CAME WITH THE S MODEL 16" WHEELS, S
MODEL REAR/FRONT SPOILERS, SPORT SUSPENSION, RECARO SPORT SEATS, FRONT BRAKE COOLING DUCTS AND LIMITED SLIP
DIFFERENTIAL BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE LARGER S MOTOR WHICH I BELIEVE WAS A 4.7L
5 SPEED MANUAL
BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR
43,655 ORIGINAL MILES
4.5L V8 220HP M28/15 8110568 ENGINE CODE
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AUDIO IN THE VIDEO ISNT THE BEST QUALITY. THERE SEEMS TO BE EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE FROM THE
VALVE TRAIN BUT IN PERSON THE NOISE ISNT NOTICEABLE.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON THIS CAR. HERE IS SOME HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE
CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I PURCHASED IT FROM A LOCAL PORSCHE ENTHUSIAST WHO LOCATED THE CAR IN GARAGE WHERE IT HAD BEEN
SITTING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY FROM TEXAS AND MADE ITS WAY TO CONNECTICUT IN 1986 WHEN IT
HAD 26K MILES(AS SHOWN ON THE TITLE PICTURE). MY ASSUMPTION IS THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE YEARS IN CONNECTICUT
AND ENDED UP IN A GARAGE AROUND 1988 AND NEVER SAW DAILY DRIVING AFTER THAT. THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED AGAIN.
THE TITLE I HAVE IS THE 1986 TITLE FROM WHEN THE CAR CAME FROM TEXAS AND REGISTERED IN CONNECTICUT. I HAVE DRIVEN
THE CAR ON THE HWY AND MADE SURE THE ODOMETER WAS WORKING CORRECTLY WITH THE MILE MARKERS. THE OVER ALL CONDITION
OF THE CAR ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE MILEAGE IS TRUE. THE PICTURES DO IT NO JUSTICE.
VERY CLEAN IN AND OUT ORIGINALLY A TEXAS CAR(I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER). NO RUST. BODY IS EXTREMELY STRAIGHT WITH
A FEW MINOR ISSUES. SMALL DING ON HOOD(BARELY NOTICEABLE), THIS CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED SOMETIME IN THE PAST AND LOOKS
VERY QUALITY. I WOULD GIVE IT A 8 OUT OF 10 MAYBE EVEN 8.5. I AM VERY PICKY.
INTERIOR IS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND WELL KEPT. LEATHER IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE(CONDITIONED REGULARLY). CAR WAS GARAGED
ITS WHOLE LIFE. CARPETS LOOK LIKE NEW. DOOR PANELS ETC LOOK AMAZING. A/C STILL BLOWS COLD. WINDOWS WORK PERFECT.
CLOCK WORKS. VACUUM DOOR LOCKS WORK AS WELL. ONLY ISSUES THE INTERIOR HAS IS THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO SEPARATE A
LITTLE BIT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AIR VENT. A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE 928's. ALSO THE RADIO BLAUPUNKT HEIDELBERG SQR24 I
DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE ORIGINAL BUT IM NOT SURE WHICH MODEL CAME IN THESE CARS IN 1981. THE FFW BUTTON IS MISSING ON
THE CASSETTE PLAYER AND FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO SOUND COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS. RADIO TURNS ON, ANTENNA GOES
UP BUT NO SOUND. ALSO REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL WHERE THE SPEAKER IS HAS SOME DAMAGE.(LOOK AT PIC)
MOTOR STARTS UP AND RUNS PERFECT. CLUTCH FEELS PERFECT(NO SLIPPING). RECENT TUNE UP(OIL CHANGE, SPARK PLUGS, CAP &
ROTOR). CAR STILL HAS ORIGINAL PORSCHE BELTS AND RADIATOR HOSES. I AM NOT 100% BUT I ASSUME THE TIMING BELT AND
WATER PUMP ARE ALSO ORIGINAL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SERVICE RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS OWNER. THE GAS WAS DRAINED FROM THE
TANK AND A NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER WERE INSTALLED. I ALSO HAD THE INJECTORS CLEANED AND FLOWED BY MARREN
MOTORSPORTS(I HAVE THE INVOICE). A NEW "GREEN WIRE" WAS ALSO INSTALLED JUST TO MAKE SURE IGNITION WAS 100%. ENGINE
HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND DETAILED REGULARLY.
I REPLACED THE UNDER HOOD INSULATOR WITH A NEW AFTERMARKET HARD FOAM STYLE WHICH WONT CRUMBLE LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IT
ALSO SPORTS THE PORSCHE LOGO. NOT TOO FLASHY BUT A NICE UPGRADE IN MY OPINION. ALL VACUUM HOSES ARE ALSO NEW(OLD
ONES GET BRITTLE AND UNRELIABLE). ONLY ISSUE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS ONE OF THE POWER STEERING HOSES HAS A
SLIGHT LEAK FROM THE COMPRESSION FITTING.(NOT BAD AT ALL)
TIRES ARE LIKE NEW(DUNLOP SP SPORT FM901 225/50R16), WHEELS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE(SOME MINOR CURB RASH), SPARE
TIRE NEVER USED, WEBER FACTORY AIR PUMP(STILL WORKS), LIFTING JACK, TOOL KIT IS MISSING A FEW PIECES I COULDNT YET
FIND(PLIERS/SCREW DRIVER HANDLE/BOTH EXTENSIONS FOR THE SCREW DRIVER/8-9MM WRENCH). ORANGE SPARE BULB CASE
INCLUDED(SOME BULBS MISSING), FACTORY OWNERS MANUALS ALSO INCLUDED.
THE REAR SPOILER AND FRONT BUMPER LIP SPOILER HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED WITH SEM TRIM BLACK. LOOKS FACTORY
NEW!
UNDERCARRIAGE OF CAR ALONG WITH INSIDE THE WHEEL WELLS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CAR OFF AND CLEANED.
NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND O2 SENSOR INSTALLED RECENTLY.
NEW FUEL FILTER RECENTLY AS WELL.
NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT ALL. EVERYTHING WORKS THE WAY IT DID WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY(MINUS THE RADIO SOUND
ISSUE)
IT IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE 928. UNMOLESTED AND READY TO DRIVE. GREAT FOR A COLLECTOR. THESE CARS HAVE BEEN
CLIMBING IN VALUE AND ARE ONE OF THE RAREST PORSCHE MODELS EVER PRODUCED. A GREAT INVESTMENT ON A GREAT CAR.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PICTURES OF THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT SHOW THE EXPOSED MOTOR(UNDERNEATH). I DO HAVE THE SPLASH
SHIELD FOR THAT AREA AS WELL AS THE SHIELD THAT COVERS THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER(REAR). I HAD BOTH SHIELDS SAND
BLASTED AND REPAINTED SATIN BLACK. BOTH ARE REINSTALLED.

Studiotorino shows new Cayman-based Moncenisio sports car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014While the recent bankruptcy of Bertone shows that it has become very difficult to be a coachbuilder today, it seems there is still a business case in creating unique bodies for premium vehicles. Case in point, Studiotorino a small, Italian coachbuilder that has been creating limited-edition cars since 2005. Its latest creation is the Moncenisio, which debuted as a prototype at the National Automobile Museum of Turin on March 21. It's named after the 1902 Susa-Moncenisio race in Italy, the first automotive hillclimb in the world.
The Moncenisio begins life as Porsche Cayman S, and each car will be built to order with a planned production run of 19 examples. The chassis, mechanicals and engine are all left untouched. The only thing that Studiotorino alters are the body panels and interior appointments. Prices start at at a heady 145,000 euros ($200,420 US), plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
Architect Daniele Gaglione penned the shape of the Moncenisio, taking inspiration from the 1963 Porsche 904. The sports coupes receive carbon fiber pieces that replace the front bumper, side panels and rear bumper. Studiotorino also covers the rear side windows with welded metal panels. The design is still clearly a Cayman, especially from the front, but the extended roof and support pillars create a new look from behind, which features a new exhaust treatment and rear spoiler. The interior receives leather upholstery on the engine compartment cover, the partition between the engine and seats, ceiling and A-pillars. Scroll down to view a walkaround of the Moncenisio and read the full press release about it.
DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
