1985 Porsche 928S, 5.0 32 valve 288 hp V-8, 5 speed, A/C blows cold, 49,500 miles.  This is a very nice Porsche 928 that drives great, steers, stops, shifts, idles and revs up like it should.  It's a Porsche would be proud to own and can drive anywhere in comfort with cold a/c and excellent handling.  No mods, 100% stock (except for the Alpine am/fm cassette radio which works great).  I have all service records back to 1988.  Tools are all there, as is the spare and jack.  I have the owner's manual, but not the service book.  The car is rust free. 

I spent the last year getting all systems totally up to snuff, enhancing the driving experience and reliability.  I decided to replace the timing belt 4/17/14 so wouldn't have any concerns, overkill I know.  Here's a sample of some but not all of the recent service work performed:

49,380 miles 4/17/14; Timing Belt, 4 new Continental perf. tires, oil & filter (water pump inspected, perfect shape and no leaks, 20,000 miles since new, mechanic advised to leave it alone).  Yes, you can call the mechanic...
46,787 miles 8/9/13; new lower ball joints, rebuild all four brake calipers, new brake hoses, new battery
46,641 miles 5/23/13; A/C compressor, hoses, receiver dryer, flush and fill with R134a
40,799 miles 6/2/11; Timing belt and rollers, fan clutch, other misc.
37,377 miles 9/11/09; motor mounts, complete clutch R&R, clutch master cylinder
28,507 miles 3/6/02; Timing Belt, water pump, misc.

The paint is very nice, nearly excellent, has only the most minor and hard to find tiny scratches, maybe 4 total (and not touched up).  Mostly original factory red paint, some repaint long ago on the lower right door.  Shiny all around, no fading anywhere.  The rear spoiler in in fine shape.  The rear bumper cover was also repainted 7/21/11 after a stoplight bump at a cost of $1,400, the match is perfect.  The paint is a 9 of 10 overall.  The doors open and close with vault like precision, electric door locks work.

Glass is good all around, no chips or dings, both side windows go up and down with ease.  The rear hatch and hood stay up with gas shocks as they should.  The front wipers work as does the rear wiper work.  The cruise control works.  The underside of the hood still has the original hood pad insulation.  The sunroof open and closes as it should, all gauges and light work perfectly.  I changed out the headlamps the the later version USA spec 8" units.

The interior is exceptionally clean and shows wear consistent with miles.  No rips or tears, seats are nearly perfect, as are door panels, all carpets in very good/ clean shape.  Dash pod has one crack front to back, otherwise exceptionally nice.  Stock 16" wheels show some etching from previous owners use of harsh wheel cleaner.  Clean and rub with Vaseline and the streaks go away and the wheels are very presentable.

Mechanically, the engine starts easily and idles smoothly at correct rpm, runs well cold or hot, no overheating, electric fans comes on, no oil consumption can be observed between oil changes.  No big drips on the garage floor when parked, but a couple of dime size ones after sitting a week.  Shifting is smooth and no noise or grinding, in any gear, up or down.  Clutch pedal is easy to operate, clutch take up is smooth, starts engaging halfway thru pedal travel.  One item that does not work as new (the only item I can think of) is the reverse lockout feature.  Power assisted brakes are immediate and progressive, very confidence inspiring.  The ride is firm but not jarring as it should be. Power  steering is precise, alignment done 4/127/14 with new tire install.

This is a very good high performance Porsche 928...and a 5 Speed WITH LOW MILES!  Red and tan leather/ brown dash and carpets, nice color combo.  V-8 power an torque...cold a/c..AND IT'S A 5-SPEED.

I highly recommend you invest the time to see the car in person, or send someone to see it.  We have a lift if you want see the (rust free) chassis, etc.  
Clear title in hand, cash only, no trades, etc.  Fly into BWI, drive it home when your funds clear.  Ask for my number if you're serious about the car. 

Other questions, please ask.

These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort

Sat, Mar 25 2017

Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen 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.

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
