Our Porsche 928 was purchased new from Porsche-Audi Northwest/Continental Motors by a family member who liked the way the car looked. She called it her "blue bug" and never drove it over 50 mph. She didn't trust the small emergency spare tire, so she insisted on adding a new wheel and new tire, which she kept in the rear hatchback. It has never been used. She also "undid" the alarm after she had several episodes of accidentally setting off the alarm by opening the wrong door. We have all the paperwork and repair papers that she kept for several years. We received the car after her death and with the advice and mechanical expertise of the people at A&P Motors in Portland, we have enjoyed driving it for the past 14 years. The 110,317 miles are actual miles driven. We have new Pirelli tires, brakes and new battery in the past two years, but nothing major needed to be done.
Due to medical reasons we are going to offer this Porsche for auction and hope that someone will enjoy driving it the way it should be driven. Our mechanic's been nagging us to "take it out on the road and drive it", but we are not able to do that anymore. The alarm system needs to be reconnected; the passenger door automatic lock needs to be adjusted; the dash lights are touchy inside and should be looked at. The air conditioner needs regular servicing in 2013. The Berlin Blaupunkt radio ($1,300)was added when the car was purchased and she had automatic transmission instead of a manual. Please read the detail items on the photo of the original window sticker on this car. Take a close look at the Annual Fuel Cost information if you want an "oh no" moment. By the way, we get better than 11 mpg and always use Premium Chevron gas.
The interior is a lovely Cork leather, very comfortable. The external blue paint is original. The body is in very good shape and it has not been involved in any accidents. There are storage compartments in the dash, in the doors and between the seats. The driving position is fully adjustable, even to the angle of the steering wheel and instrument cluster. An illuminated make up mirror folds safely into the headlining. All glass is tinted. The car corners superbly and rides well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at whcram@msn.com or call 503.281.6625.
Trivia for those who are interested: a blue Porsche 928 like this one was seen in the old movie, "Scarface" and more recently in "Cars". In "Cars" it was named Sally.
Price includes extra wheel and tire.

VIN NUMBER LISTED WITH ITEM IS INCORRECT. it should be 9289200981.
Please take note of viewer's question re the VIN number. The tag on the door is correct: VIN NUMBER IS 9289200981. New photos being added to show: 1979 sales contract, State of Washington application for title, & official mileage verification form. All show correct VIN number. We took the vin from the sales label we found in her original owner's manual and apologize for our error.
Original owner changed her mind when she found out the car she liked had manual transmission. She wanted same car, but with auto transmission. Thank you to the sharp viewer who brought this to our attention. I cannot change the published VIN number on this listing since there is already a bid on this item, but we do have key paperwork since the contract was signed in November 1979.

This is embarrassing. I found a typo error in the description above. Actual miles driven should read: 119,317.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens
Thu, Sep 24 2015Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Vintage-ish Porsche 911 buying guide
Tue, Jul 21 2015Harry Metcalfe is always great at showing viewers the intricate details of the vehicles in his collection as part of the Harry's Garage series. This time he's helping out future buyers by explaining what to look for when purchasing a classic and slightly more modern Porsche 911. His examples for this lesson are two absolute beauties that are about to cross the block from Silverstone Auctions in the UK: a 1972 2.4 S and a 1991 964-chassis RS Clubsport. The '72 in creamy white here epitomizes the look of early 911s. The coupe is handsome, purposeful, and fairly compact by modern standards. According to Metcalfe, when looking at one, don't worry about a wobbly gearshift. Apparently, they're all like that, even ones as well cared for as this example. As with any used car purchase, he recommends trying to get as many service records as you can. It's just good to know as much about the vehicle's life as possible before throwing down any cash. Where the '72 911 shows the more gentlemanly side of the brand, the '91 RS Clubsport is Porsche proving the company's performance credentials. Metcalfe slightly dings the switch to an aftermarket air filter here, but overall it's hard to find a major fault. These cars were essentially road-going racers in this trim. The engineers in Zuffenhausen chopped out as much weight as possible and then fitted Recaro racing buckets and a roll cage. This thing was meant clock as many laps around the 'Ring as the driver could stand.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
