For sale at NO RESERVE

I have owned this car for over 20 years. I bought it from a rich guy in Beverly Hills that lived next door to Jack Nickolson's house on Mulholland Drive. The car was not cheap to me at the time. He told me the original owner was Steven Spielberg but I have no documention to back this up.

The car runs and drives like new. In fact, it has been my favorite car ever to drive. I have had newer SL Mercedes, Maseratis and other Porsches and this has been my favorite of them all - no lie! I had this car previously for sale about two years ago for $15,000 and it didn't sell. But I had some people come and look at it and drive it. One guy said it was the nicest one he has seen and it was by far the tightest example he looked at. And he said he had looked at quite a few. Unfortunately, my price was just too high at that time for him.

I have been traveling quite a bit lately. I just don't have time for it any more. So I am now selling it at no reserve. I am traveling again in mid August so it is very import that the car sells next week, it is picked up/delivered and paid for no later than August 10th.

The car is in very good condition. The black paint is glossy and there is not one dent or door ding on the car. Of course there is no rust or any silly like that and it has been in Southern California its whole life. The interior is nearly perfect and looks like new. The car has the rare and very expensive full leather package (over $4000 at that time). There are of course leather seats, but the entire door panels are lined and stitched in leather, as as pretty much every other surface including the headliner but not the top of the dash board. The instrument pod has a hair thin crack in it and it not really noticeable inside the car and hardly so on the outside. It was that way when I bought the car and it has not gotten any worse. Since it was not a big deal, I never replaced the pod. The transmission is a 4 speed and works like new. I have never had a engine or mechanical breakdown with the car in over 20 years that has let me stuck. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. In fact, I recently drove this car up in to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and it performed beautifully. It handles better than most new cars and everything from the suspension to the steering is very tight. The car runs and drives like new and puts to shame most cars built today.

It has a monster sound system with 14 speakers and two amps. The eight speakers mounted in the car are original and then there is a box set in the rear that can be removed in about 20 seconds with six more speakers, including the bass woofers. The stereo is a top of the line Nakamishi and sounds great. I think Mr Spielberg wanted only the best.

Being sold with the car is a new set of belts (all four aux belts plus the timing belt) and a new OEM Porsche waterpump. I was planning to do a service now but I decided to sell the car instead.

All the window and sunroof work as they should. All glass has a security etch on it with the VIN. This was done back in the day when these cars were being stolen because it was one of the most expensive cars you could buy at the time. In fact, the MSRP with options was $55,000. Only cars like Ferraris and Aston Martins were more..

While the car looks and runs great, there are some little issues that need to be tended to to make it perfect - like the A/C stopped working about four years ago. It has a new compressor so I know it is not something big like that. Probably just needs a charge. And the ABS light on the dash is lit up. I was told that the system is pretty trouble free and the most likely cause is something like a loose wire on a wheel sensor. But there is no reason you couldn't drive the car across the country tomorrow. I would just change the oil and you would be good to go.

The car is located in Perris California. The pictures I have posted are terrible but they are the only ones I had on this computer. I will take some better ones in the next day of so and post them.

If you want more details, send me a message and I will respond to it with in 24 hours.

If you are looking for 1986 1/2 Porsche 928S, you would be hard pressed to find a better example. You will not find a finer and tighter driving example than this one - guaranteed!

Again, being sold at NO RESERVE!!!!

If you are the winner of this auction, again, it is very important that the car is delivered no later than August 10th as I will be traveling after that.

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

Porsche 911 Targa 4S special makes us want to go Dutch

Mon, Apr 20 2015

There's a long list of things that make us love the Netherlands, and not all of them involve activities that would be illegal in most of the United States. Like this latest special edition Porsche 911, for example. Unveiled at AutoRAI 2015 – Holland's premier car show that opened last week Â– the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Zuffenhausen's iconic partial convertible. It's decked out in Gulf blue, but instead of contrasting with bright orange, nearly everything else on this special Elfen is blacked out: The 20-inch Fuchs-style alloys, the throwback quarter-panel racing stripes, the LED headlight frames... everything but the signature Targa roof bar, which keeps its brushed metal finish. The interior is rather more subdued than you'd find on most special editions, with throwback houndstooth fabric seats and silver stitching. Power comes from the 3.8-liter boxer-six driving 400 horses to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sport Chrono Package Plus, a sports exhaust, adaptive suspension and Bose audio system are all fitted as standard. Options include carbon-ceramic brakes, a seven-speed manual transmission and a 30-horse Powerkit. As the name suggests, though, this is a rather exclusive edition indeed. All fifteen examples will be made available exclusively in the Netherlands, priced from Âˆ223,230 with the PDK or Âˆ229,500 with the manual. That's more than you'd pay for a 911 Turbo Cabrio in the same country, and works out to more than $240k at today's conversion rates.

Dit model wordt in een oplage van 15 exemplaren door Porsche Exclusive geproduceerd om '50 jaar Targa' te vieren. Alle modellen zijn uitgevoerd in het herkenbare Gulfblauw met accenten in hoogglans zwart en lichtmetalen wielen in het klassieke 'Fuchs-design'. Elke 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition wordt geleverd met een fotoboek van de auto en het productieproces. Aansluitend aan de AutoRAI start de levering. De 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition is er vanaf Âˆ 223.230. De 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition is speciaal voor de Nederlandse markt ontwikkeld ter ere van 50 jaar Targa.

Tesla, Porsche and Genesis top Consumer Reports owner satisfaction survey

Fri, Dec 22 2017

Tesla swept Consumer Reports' latest Ownership Satisfaction Survey results, notching the top spot among brands evaluated. Its Model S also netted the No. 1 spot among the top 10 most-satisfying cars. Porsche and Genesis, Hyundai's new luxury spinoff, rounded out the top three brands. The bottom of the rankings was anchored by Acura, while Mercedes-Benz notched the least-satisfying car in the survey with the GLA, proving that the results weren't equally kind to all luxury brands. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, told USA Today those brands suffered by introducing cheaper vehicles. The scores, on a 100-point scale, reflect whether owners say the vehicles from model years 2015 through 2018 met their expectations and whether they would buy the same car again. They measure ratings in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio and climate systems (what, no cupholders?). Effectively, it gauges how much people liked the car they bought. Reliability is not considered. The Honda Ridgeline outscored competitors in the compact pickup segment by a wide margin, while the Ford F-350 was among the top 10-ranked vehicles in the survey, the first time in at least five years that a pickup made it into the top 10, Consumer Reports said. In the brand survey, Chrysler rose four places to No. 4 on strong customer satisfaction with the Pacifica minivan, while Hyundai tumbled 11 spots to No. 24 and Lexus fell eight places to 18th. Rounding out the top 10 most satisfying cars were the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, Lincoln Continental, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Toyota Prius, Tesla Model X SUV, Honda Odyssey minivan and Dodge Challenger. Not surprisingly, most of those cars, and indeed most of the high-ranking brands, are those with strong brand loyalty, fan-like followings and/or those that strike a strong emotional chord with buyers. The full brand rankings are below. Tesla (90) Porsche (85) Genesis (81) Chrysler (78) Audi (76) Mazda (76) Subaru (76) Toyota (76) Honda (75) Lincoln (75) Mini (73) Ram (73) Kia (72) Chevrolet (72) BMW (72) GMC (72) Ford (70) Lexus (70) Volvo (69) Dodge (68) Jeep (68) Mercedes-Benz (67) Volkswagen (67) Hyundai (67) Buick (66) Cadillac (64) Infiniti (60) Mitsubishi (58) Nissan (58) Acura (58) Related Video: Green Genesis Porsche Tesla Ownership satisfaction
