1989 Porsche 928 S-4 on 2040-cars
Haymarket, Virginia, United States
|
1989 Porsche 928S4. White w/ Dark Navy Blue leather. Automatic. 96,600 Miles.
Exterior is in great condition. The paint looks very nice and there is no damage anywhere on the car. The only flaw is a small dent by the tail light that can be taken out by any paintless dent removal company. The navy blue interior is in real nice condition. Seats are spotless, no rips or tears. Steering wheel, carpets, interior trim pieces, door panels are all in great condition. Upper dash has the usual 928 cracks, but a nice dash cover (or carpet) would fix that. I have a custom fit carpet cover on the dash currently and it looks real nice. I also have custom $300 floor mats that were made and will include with the purchase (not shown in pics). Upgraded head unit to a Clarion AM / FM / CD / IPOD w/Cable. The original wire antenna is still mounted on the roof. Speakers are new Pioneer 6 1/2" in the rear and Polks 4 1/4" up front. The trim pieces are all good. The controls are standard S4. Heating and air controls, vent, climate control sensor, stereo, 24 hour clock, ash tray, shift control, armrest/storage, window controls, moon roof, and rear windshield wiper controls. Everything works, but the AC will likely need a charge. Has front and rear A/C. There is nothing mechanically wrong with the Porsche. Engine and transmission are in great shape and sound awesome. Mobil 1 Synthetic religiously. Has Stainless Steel X-Pipe + Rear Muffler Bypass = 358 HP. This 928 has a distinct sound like no other. I also have the original Exhaust Manifold and Muffler that goes with the vehicle. Both are in great condition. Both front doors are Dynamatted, Front floor mats have been backed by 3/8" neoprene. Rear wheel wells (where the 6 1/2" speakers reside) have been filled with foam. Rear trunk has also been padded with 3/8" neoprene. Cabin was quieted down for the X-pipe & RMB. The battery/spare tire compartment is clean. The toolbox is complete. The spare is there. The rear seats fold down perfectly and the seat backs (Carpet) are in great shape. The vinyl panels in the rear compartment are in good condition but warped a little from the sun -- Every 928 has this problem. The entire ceiling/headliner is in good shape.. The moon roof works most of the time. I have a feeling it is the switch on the center console. I purchased extra switches, but never go around to it. Front and rear visors all work and are in great condition. The wheels are factory 928 S4. Polished wheels perfectly balanced and true. The Tires are Kumho Ecsta ASX. Fronts are 225-50R-16, Rears are 245-50R-16. The tread life is excellent on these tires. The oversized calipers brake this car very well. Carbon Fiber Brace under the hood. Replaced the stock aluminum one. This car has always been adult owned. Never abused and I always keep it garaged. I bought it as a collectible, have owned it for 3 1/2 years and only take it on the occasional Sunday drive. The timing belt and water pump were done shortly before I bought it and I have only put a couple hundred miles on it since I purchased. Overall, a beautiful example with only minor little things to fix (which are typical on ALL 928's). Not many nice & clean examples left! Car is listed locally and auction will end if a local deal is made, or acceptable offer is received through Ebay. Please feel free to email me with any questions. |

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
