Parting with my beloved after 7 years of great car shows, OCIC, and ThirdCoast Events, usually placing/winning entered events including another 1st place at the regional annual 928 Third Coast show last weekend.

 You will NOT find a nicer, cleaner, shinier, better-preserved, faster, better head-turning 928 this year.

 1986.5 = Last of the S-styled 928's but with the S4 brakes (Brembo 4 piston all 4 corner with S4 front Brembos), and S4 suspension. Lighter than an S4 and easier to work on as well. about 2500 86.5's made (feel free to correct me) with about 80% being automatic, so only about 500 5-speed cars. 

 No wrecks, never been disassembled (engine or body) for any reason  

Imported in Cali, shipped to the northeast US for a while, then to Honolulu where I purchased in Hawaii in 2006 with 10,700 miles from first owner Had been washed 20x and waxed 3 (yes, he knew). Porsche of Honolulu wouldn't take my $ for a PPI: car was known by all in the shop to be basically as-new....even the 20-year old t-belt! I have scans of both the original title from Hawaii (from the original owner) and of the car the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

 Original window sticker $54,900 new in '86. Window sticker is now hard-laminated and included with sale. Red/black, some leather options such as rear seat backs, door sills, and rear quarters. Mink-oil conditioned Leather is 10/10, interior is 10/10. It is as-new in all respects: texture, softness, stitching, coloration, no stretching, etc. Only the radio unit has been modernized and the ashtray replaced with an AEM Wideband gauge and an AEM TruBoost boost controller. Original ashtray will be included in sale of car, though car has NEVER been smoked in and still smells new. 8-way power on both seats Stored in my Air Conditioned garage and rarely sees sunlight. Yes, the dashboard is perfect. Car did ship to original owner with both a vinyl and a leather sunvisor: weird. 

Rare side-molding delete option on an exquisite exterior 9.5/10 condition after 27 years. Paint ONLY receives the oily Natty's Red Paste wax to help preserve it's perfectly colored and sun-protected Guard's Red paint and all black trim/rubber seals. Never buffed, no paint burns. Rear-driver's 3/4 shot shows touched up scuffs from original owner. There are a few paint blemishes but overall presentation is stunning and there are panels on the which remain showroom perfect in all respects. No rock chips (except for mirrors which is common), just a few rock scuffs. All lenses, glass, seals, trim, rubber are as-new as if just rolled off the assembly line except for the lower door seals where a linear crack is evident as they are on all 928’s purely based on the pressure placed on them over the last 27 years. Seal itself is perfect and does not accumulate wax nor is the crack noticeable; it’s just there so I must disclose that.

 

Turbocharger kit was installed in 2007: a single Dual-ballbearing T67mm Precision unit with the kit manufactured by Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts - Boostlogic.com Performance Racing parts and myself. Tuned to 405rwhp/400rwtq at mere 5.5psi with custom timing chips by Sharktuner and an SMPT-6 piggy back fuel tuner. A Bosch 044 fuel pump and new fuel filter was added in ’07 during kit installation.  No lag, great sound, super reliable as I’ve not adjusted/touched a single aspect of the turbo kit since it’s installation in ’07.

 

Dual air conditioning converted to R134a by the Honolulu dealership back in '99. 

 

Butter-smooth shifting 5-speed with Original clutch. I've owned 5 other 928's including the pictured race car: this car drives/shifts as-new in all respects. Other items: 3M tint, 3M clear bra, retrofitted HID Fogs in factory housings. Lloyd's "turbo" 928 floor mats, adjustable sway bar, front Koni's, original brake rotors and pads, 18x10 & 18x8 Sport Edition Cup wheels (245/35), and 295/30 road race R888's in the rear because spinning the tires at 80mph tends to drain your adrenaline pretty quick. 

 

No oil leaks. Maintenance: 2006 when received: t-belt, idler bolt bushings, all fluids flushed (redline, ATE Super blue, G05 w/water wetter and a 75 degree t-stat), new ignition wires, plugs (for turbocharging). New tie rods and delrin bushings at PS rack + alignment to sharpen steering after lowering 1.25"

 

2007: turbo kit, front Koni's, epoxy-painted calipers, SS brake lines, ATE Super blue. OIl changed every 2k miles: Valvoline Racing 20/50 with OE Porsche filters.

 

Factory air box, air tubes, catalytic converters available with car...car passed Texas emission testing EASILY while turbocharged...without cats. Video's available on Youtube under PorscheMark69 

 

All records, hard-laminated window sticker, factory books/manuals, luggage cover, cargo net, three keys, and OEM '86 Porsche car cover all included with sale. 

 

open to other '85-00 Porsche partial trades

 

Will deliver within 200 miles of Austin, Texas, otherwise buyer responsible for shipping. $1000 deposit due within 48hrs of auction close via Paypal. Balance to be handled in diligent time as worked out post-auction. 

This car is known to be the lowest mile 86.5 in the country.  It’s probable that it’s nicer than any GTS you may be looking at  currently…so why pay more for a car that’s not in as good of condition and is slower or worse, is an automatic. You REALLY want the 5-speed…makes all the difference on 928s!

It's reserve is priced accordingly but is also the best out there in addition to the low mileage. It's light, fast, not too quiet, smooth, classic, it handles, it brakes, and draws attention wherever it goes. I reserve the right to cancel this auction due to it being posted on the PCA national site as well as a few other places. Email me if you really want it now. :)  Good luck.

Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans

Tue, Jun 17 2014

Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) – likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.

Watch a Group B Porsche 911 tear up the 'Ring in the snow

Thu, Jan 28 2016

The Nurburgring is a motorsports fantasyland during the best weather, but it looks even more exciting when the snow starts to fall. While the course isn't open to the general public during the winter, this Porsche 911 SC RS rally car managed a lap of the snow-covered Grand Prix Circuit, sliding the whole way around. The 911 SC RS isn't as famous as Porsche racers like the 917, but it has an interesting story. Porsche's development of the 959 was slow in the '80s, and this coupe was the company's stopgap for Group B rallying. The SC RS used the 911 Turbo's wider body, suspension, and brakes, but the car had a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter flat-six to drive the rear wheels. It couldn't compete against all-wheel drive beasts like the Audi Quattro, but one managed third place in the 1985 Tour de Corse in France. The SC RS sounds great in this video, and it looks even better kicking up snow. There's so much accumulation that you can't tell which way the track goes, but driver Patrick Simon knows his way around. After watching this clip, we think the 'Ring should unleash a few more old rally cars on the track for a new racing series next winter.
