Winning Bidder of the auction (when listed two weeks ago) claimed wife had seizures the night before the auction ended and so he was distraught and could not follow through with the purchase. Then a few days later he offered me $1000 instead of what he had bid for the closing bid (almost $4000) (His reasoning was because he would have to buy an airline ticket to come and pick up the car)...his user name is ncgems57, he will be blocked from bidding on any future auctions. The Porsche 928 won the European Car of the Year award for
1978, It came with aluminum doors which were galvanized for protection. Porsche
upgraded the V8 engine to the 295 Horsepower engine in 1980, this has always
been what created the name in performance for Porsche. If you read any of the
blogs of 928 owners, they all say it is simply an amazing car, with amazing
handling, and amazing speed. This Porsche originally sold for $37,930 Low Retail (by NADA standards) is $8,100 Average Retail is $11,400 While High Retail is $15,200 In its current condition this car is between Low and
Average Pricing by NADA standards. A new owner will NOT be disappointed! This car’s details: This is a beautiful 1980 928 Porsche that is still original,
never having undergone a restoration. The car has had two titled owners, with
the second buyer purchasing the car in 1985 and then changing the color from
Porsche brown to Porsche red. It was done very professionally which is still
apparent. Please note, there are some waterspots in the pictures, it had just rained shortly before I took them. Those are not flaws in the paint. Electric Windows & Seats & Locks. The Porsche has been parked inside storage now for almost 20
years, and is in excellent condition…but of course cannot be expected to be in
perfect condition. I will attempt to list the flaws I have found. First of all,
the car will require a new exhaust system (but truly sounds fantastic without
it). The car starts and runs would expect, before it would start the fuel pump
had to be changed from being stored for so long. It goes down the road just as
would be expected, and stops without problems…the headlights even go up and
down as would expected. The only four things that I can find that it needs
mechanically (besides the exhaust) would be better clean up under the hood to
include either cleaning or adding an additional spring to the throttle. Most of
the time it will pull back all of the way when you let it off the gas, but
sometimes it doesn't travel that last 1/8th of an inch for 15-20
seconds. The passenger window also doesn't go down (Electric windows, driver’s
works great). The electric antennae will also have to be replaced when a stereo
is added, there is no stereo currently. I do not remember if it has AC, I think
it does, but I know it is not charged, and I did not see the tach work when I drove it. As for the body as you can see in the pictures this car is
very clean…the only actual rust spot I could find is a dime size spot below the
rear window on the driver’s side. I also took pictures of the bottom of the
driver’s door which looks as if there eventually might be some paint peeling…the
door is galvanized, so I do not think it is due to rust, and the bottom of the
door is extremely clean. Again, I am simply trying to list everything I can
find so a new owner will not in any way be disappointed. Next, on to the interior…everything is leather, and for an
obvious reason this was one of the only years they also did the dashboard in
leather. As you can see in the picture as the leather dries it pulls at the
seams of the dash, and this one is no different. The interior also smells like
dry leather. The driver’s seat is comfortable, but you can tell the leather is
harder than it should be…the passenger one is even drier. I put leather
treatment on it, but do not really see a lot of difference. In the back seat,
one side has had a baffle replaced, and there are extra baffles that go along
with this auction. The center armrest in the backseat also has some leather
that has cracked and separated. All in all for an original car this is in excellent
condition, but it is also important to realize that it is not in perfect
condition. It will certainly make a collector proud, especially after giving it
a little TLC…but all of the TLC is minor stuff. I am not sure what else I can
say about the car, between what I have listed and what the pictures show…you
can certainly contact me if you want additional questions answered. |

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks even better in the flesh [w/video]
Wed, Mar 4 2015You should never, ever, ever buy a new Porsche 911 GT3 when it first comes out. That's not to say it's somehow bad. It's just that the debut of a new GT3 is, almost without fail, followed by a GT3 RS. GT3: good. GT3 RS: better. This is the latest hot 911, and it comes out shooting with a 4.0-liter flat-six, complete with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque. As we explained earlier this morning, sitting behind the wheel of the GT3 RS means 60 miles per hour is just 3.1 seconds away. That is, frankly, a hilariously fast time for a rear-drive, naturally aspirated vehicle with just 500 hp. Consider the new Ferrari 488 GTB, if you will – it has an extra 160 horsepower, (probably) two turbochargers and two more cylinders, and it's only a tenth of a second faster to 62 than the Porsche is to 60. Any Porsche worth its salt will be as rapid in the corners as it is on the straights, and the GT3 RS is no different. It managed to trim five seconds off the standard GT3's Nurburgring time, thanks in part to Porsche's dedication to weight reduction. It's down 22 pounds on the standard car, thanks to magnesium and carbon fiber components. On top of that, Porsche pushed the aerodynamics with a track-ready rear wing and a fairly substantial front splitter. Of course, you know all of this, because we covered it this morning. Still, it seemed worth recapping as we delivered our very own, live-from-Geneva photos of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Take a look. Related Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS: the Ultimate 911 for High-Performance Drivers Atlanta. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS breaks down the barrier between road-going sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum amount of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 suitable for everyday driving. Extensive modifications to its drivetrain, aerodynamics, and lightweight design take performance to an even higher level than the 911 GT3. With a Nuerburgring Nordschleife lap time of seven minutes and 20 seconds, the new 911 GT3 RS surpasses the 911 GT3 by five seconds, making it the fastest current generation 911 on the famous German racetrack. The 911 GT3 RS is celebrating its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. Motorsport expertise is the driving force behind this superior performance. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a four-liter six-cylinder engine developing 500 hp and 338 lb.-ft. of torque, combined with a specially developed PDK transmission.
Lamborghini Miura, Porsche 911 highlight Techno Classica
Mon, Apr 11 2016Visitors to the Techno Classica show in Germany this weekend were treated to the spectacle of all manner of classic cars under the roof of the Messe Essen. Not surprisingly, the Volkswagen Group was well represented, with the historical departments of two of its flagship marques showcasing their in-house restoration projects – albeit in radically different states of repair. While Porsche brought a completely restored example of a particularly storied 911, Lamborghini went the opposite route by displaying the bare body-in-white for a Miura. With the Miura now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini's recently launched PoloStorico division is in the process of restoring several examples. Chassis #5030 is a Miura SV that, as you can see, is still in the middle of its refurbishment, its frame corrected but still unfinished – but that didn't stop the Raging Bull marque from putting it on display. It was joined by the freshly completed green example (chassis #4846) that was the department's first project, as well as the engine from a Miura P400S. Meanwhile, Porsche Classic arrived with a lovely 911 2.5 S/T, the precursor of the 911 RSR. One of only 24 examples made, this particular vehicle won its class at Le Mans in 1972 at the hands of works driver Jurgen Barth (who would alter claim victory overall in '77). It was rediscovered in poor health decades later by a collector, who commissioned Porsche Classic to bring it back to life. The task proved monumental, the vehicle having been modified, crashed, rusted, and used as a playground for children. Both vehicles aptly demonstrate the kind of care that these manufacturers' own restoration departments put into preserving their company's legacy. If you weren't in Essen this weekend to see them first-hand, you can check them both out in the pair of image galleries.

Showing the original Miura SV first unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and the subject of a full restoration by Lamborghini PoloStorico, the stand also displays a Miura chassis demonstrating work in progress and a fully overhauled Miura engine.
Jay Leno takes an in-depth look at a 1964 Porsche 356C restomod
Tue, Oct 13 2015Look nearly anywhere at Dr. Anand Rajani's 1964 Porsche 356C, even the engine, and you would never realize that it boasts around 50 percent more power than stock. There's no sign of any other mods to make the drive a bit more modern, either, but they're there. The car's invisible upgrades result in an amazing transformation of a car that started out pretty great to begin with, and Jay Leno can't seem to get enough of driving this beautiful, gray coupe with restorer John Willhoit. Before going for a drive, Leno takes a deep dive into the details of this Porsche's modifications, particularly of its engine. The result of all the work is a mill that looks visually stock but actually boasts a significant jump in displacement. Willhoit admits this is particular one is a fairly conservative build but output still reaches 145 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. If you're worried that Jay's CNBC show might have a detrimental effect on the quality of the Jay Leno's Garage YouTube video series, then here's your answer. For vintage Porsche fans interested in the nuts and bolts of making them even better, it's hard to imagine Leno making a better clip than this one.
