1986.5 Porsche 928s Renegade Hybrid on 2040-cars
Antioch, Tennessee, United States

This 1986.5
Porsche 928 has had the engine replaced with a GM ZZ4 Crate Engine and was my
daily driver for several years until my circumstances changed such that I had
to drive over 100 miles per day. I parked it about two years ago and switched
to a more fuel efficient car. This Porsche was getting around 16 or 18 MPG.
Most everything worked when the vehicle was parked: Power Locks, Power Windows,
Power Seats, CD Player (although one side would occasionally go out because of
a poor connection in the harness), all the gauges work: Speed, Tach, Oil
Pressure, Temp, Fuel and Geer Selection ("D" does not light up, which
is pretty typical on this model and is a relatively easy fix). This sunroof was
seldom used and overtime started to bind so it will most likely need to be
lubed or fixed. Engine accessories are all readily available GM parts such as
alternator, AC Compressor and Power Steering pump. The engine is fueled by an
Edelbrock Carb utilizing the factory fuel return. The car set a long time and
only started occasionally to ensure that nothing is seized up so the fuel will
probably need to be flushed and replaced. I would assume that the carb will
need to be cleaned. The battery is also dead. Exterior
Condition: Both the passanger side front fender and driver side rear fender had
parking lot dings that were fixed and are in primer. There is also a spot on
the rear bumper where the paint started to delaminate. Other than that her body
is very straight. I've always liked the looks of 928s so I've kept it looking
original. Interior
Condition: I've seen 2 and 3 year old cars in worth shape than this one. When I
got the car it had a cracked dash so the dash was stripped and redone. The
leather is in good shape with a few scratches here and there but is otherwise
in good shape. This car was
a lot of fun to drive- ZZ4s put out in the neighborhood of 350HP. The
transmission shifted smoothly although it did have a whine, most likely related
to a torque tube that was replaced with aftermarket bearings but I could be
wrong. It's
possible that it can be driven away with a new battery and fresh fuel but considering how long it set would recommend that it's towed away and properly serviced first. It's hard to think of everything at once when it comes to this car so please ask questions, I'll try to answer them all. Please note: I do not know what the true miles are on this car. I've entered 100K becuase ebay requires that mileage is listed and my guess is that it's well under 100K miles. Thanks and
good luck. |

Porsche testing four-cylinder Boxster at the N?rburgring
Fri, 09 May 2014Porsche recently introduced a four-cylinder version of the new Macan for markets outside of North America, carrying Zuffenhausen's first four-pot since the 968 ended its production run the better part of two decades ago. But you can bet the compact crossover won't be the only Porsche to get the four banger before all's said and done. These spy shots, we're told, are evidence of just that.
Spotted undergoing testing at the Nürburgring (where else), this modified Boxster, our spy photographers tell us, sounds more like a four-cylinder engine than the flat six that's powered (in displacements ranging from 2.5 liters to 3.4) every version of the little roadster since its introduction in 1996, the year after the last four-cylinder Porsche ended production.
The test mule is also wearing modified wheel arches and aerodynamic aids under the bumpers, front and rear. Just what they're doing there we're not sure, but we'll probably find out sooner or later.
Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
