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.

Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
