This 1986.5 Porsche 928 has had the engine replaced with a GM ZZ4 Crate Engine and was my daily driver for several years until my circumstances changed such that I had to drive over 100 miles per day. I parked it about two years ago and switched to a more fuel efficient car. This Porsche was getting around 16 or 18 MPG. Most everything worked when the vehicle was parked: Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Seats, CD Player (although one side would occasionally go out because of a poor connection in the harness), all the gauges work: Speed, Tach, Oil Pressure, Temp, Fuel and Geer Selection ("D" does not light up, which is pretty typical on this model and is a relatively easy fix). This sunroof was seldom used and overtime started to bind so it will most likely need to be lubed or fixed. Engine accessories are all readily available GM parts such as alternator, AC Compressor and Power Steering pump. The engine is fueled by an Edelbrock Carb utilizing the factory fuel return. The car set a long time and only started occasionally to ensure that nothing is seized up so the fuel will probably need to be flushed and replaced. I would assume that the carb will need to be cleaned. The battery is also dead.

Exterior Condition: Both the passanger side front fender and driver side rear fender had parking lot dings that were fixed and are in primer. There is also a spot on the rear bumper where the paint started to delaminate. Other than that her body is very straight. I've always liked the looks of 928s so I've kept it looking original.

Interior Condition: I've seen 2 and 3 year old cars in worth shape than this one. When I got the car it had a cracked dash so the dash was stripped and redone. The leather is in good shape with a few scratches here and there but is otherwise in good shape.

This car was a lot of fun to drive- ZZ4s put out in the neighborhood of 350HP. The transmission shifted smoothly although it did have a whine, most likely related to a torque tube that was replaced with aftermarket bearings but I could be wrong.

It's possible that it can be driven away with a new battery and fresh fuel but considering how long it set would recommend that it's towed away and properly serviced first.

It's hard to think of everything at once when it comes to this car so please ask questions, I'll try to answer them all.

Please note: I do not know what the true miles are on this car. I've entered 100K becuase ebay requires that mileage is listed and my guess is that it's well under 100K miles.

Thanks and good luck.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

An 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.

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Prosecutors in Argentina wants Top Gear to stand trial

Wed, Nov 4 2015

Jeremy Clarkson may have left Top Gear behind, but some of his actions on the show may come back to haunt him. Prosecutors in Argentina reopened a criminal case against Clarkson last week, which may result in a prison sentence, over last year's now infamous insulting license plate incident, the Telegraph reported. Top Gear, and Clarkson in particular, had a reputation for going out of their way to insult other cultures. Clarkson was already on notice for racist remarks and social media posts when he punched a producer, ending his career at the BBC. So it was not a huge surprise when the team ran into trouble in Argentina while filming a 1,400-mile road trip for the show's 2014 Christmas special. Now for the history; Argentina and England have a long running disagreement that goes all the way back to the age of empire. At various times, a small set of islands off the coast of Argentina, called the Falklands, have had French, British, Spanish, and Argentine settlements. Britain claimed for their own in 1833. In 1982, Argentina and Britain fought a short, bloody war over the islands. Britain emerged victorious and still holds the islands to this day, though Argentina still claims them. Enter the Top Gear lads and their cars. Clarkson was driving a Porsche 928 with a license plate reading H982 FLK. Producers for the show deny up and down that the plates were not intended to cause such ire. Intentional or no, residents took the plate as a jab at the country's defeat in 1982. First, Clarkson was banned from the city where the road trip was supposed to wrap up. Then, angry Argentines threw stones at the hosts, forcing Top Gear to abandon filming and flee the country. In April, a judge deemed the plates intentionally disrespectful and blamed the show for causing a riot. Now the case is being reopened in Argentine courts, partly at the urging of veterans from the Falklands War. Prosecutors are saying that Top Gear changed the Porsche's plates with full knowledge that such actions were illegal. The case could take years to wind its way through the court system and drag all three Top Gear presenters in front of a judge. At the end, if found guilty, Clarkson could face three years in an Argentine prison.
