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.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS, Macan, 911 Targa details leaked

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

The folks over at Jalopnik have published some rather interesting images from what looks to be a presentation held inside Porsche's North American headquarters in Atlanta, GA. What these leaked photos reveal is pretty significant - details about several of the brand's upcoming launches, including GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, a new 911 Targa, and information about the Macan crossover that will debut at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, none of this information has been officially verified, but it all looks and sounds pretty believable to us. So, let's dig in.
First up, Porsche will launch the Boxster and Cayman GTS models at next year's Beijing Motor Show in April. Upgrades for the GTS models will include a 15-horsepower bump, standard manual transmission (with optional dual-clutch PDK), standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a slightly quicker 0-60 time. Jalopnik reports that these models will cost around $75,000.
We've spied the soon-to-be-revealed Porsche Macan (pictured right) on several occasions, and these slides suggest that the small crossover will have two different types of turbo power under its hood. The Macan S will use a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will use a 3.6-liter unit. Seven-speed PDK transmissions are expected to be fitted to both, and this leaked information states that the new, small Porsche will cost $52,000 and $75,000 for the S and Turbo versions, respectively.

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.
