I loaned my 928 to a "friend" 3 years ago before i left and i just picked it back up. Apparently after the fuel pump failed he just left it outside to rot. Nice guy huh?
Luckily that was in southern California, or maybe i should say un-luckily.
The interior is completely ruined now. The leather seats are dried up and falling apart. The paint is in the same boat and just flaking off.

The good parts are the motor has great compression and runs fantastically. You'll need a new fuel pump to get it running though, i would also suggest removing the old fuel out of the tank.
The car has 43k orig miles. when i bought it there were 41k and i enjoyed driving it to and from LA to SF a few times. It handled great and earned me more than a few speeding tickets. Its really a wonderful car to drive, but in its current condition i dont have the heart to take on the project. That and the lady is not excited for the project either.

It is a 5 speed manual with a limited slip in the rear. I upgraded the headlamps to Hella H4 lights that are fantastically bright.
I have changed the wheels over to the S flat disc style and found the Euro 8" wide rear wheels which really fill out the fender much better than the stock 7" rims.
The tires are Yokohama AVS that are at full tread. Fronts are 225/50/16 and the rears are 245/45/16.

The car is otherwise completely stock.

I will offer to deliver the car within 500 miles for $0.50 per mile from 95136.
Use Google maps to see how far your house is from my zip code, multiply that mileage by $.50 per mile and that's the delivery cost.
Otherwise you'll need to come pick it up and it will need to be trailered.
If you live further than 500 miles, we might be able to work something out.

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
