You are looking live at a 1982 Porsche 928 in its original splendor.   Before the whale tale and body side trim, this is the original body of the 928.   A little background:  I graduated high school in 1982 and this was my dream car.   In 2009 I was looking through Ebay for months and months and finally came across this car. It was at a dealer in Chicago and had been stored for many, many years.  I bought it sight unseen for $8,000.00.  I  had it shipped to Texas and I took it to 911 Enterprises in Dallas.  I asked them to look it over and tell me whether it was a keeper and worth fixing.  The car was in very solid condition but needed a ton of general maintenance.  After they gave me the list, I said, "do it."  4 pages worth of repairs and $10,464.96 later, she came home.  New timing belt, new belts, steering column bearings, shifter ball socket, wheel bearings, tie rods, rotors, brakes --you get the picture.  The receipts and details are yours.   She came home and a year or so later i looked at her and said, "she needs a paint job."  So I had her repainted.  The doors, hood, windows, etc... were all removed.  (see pics).  $5,500 later she came home.   Now I had a great looking car, with new paint, that turned heads.  Only 1 problem.  I live in Texas and without A/C you have about 3 months you can drive.  So in 2011,  I sent her to a 928 specialist in north Dallas (Sean Ratts) and he redid the a/c system.  New compressor, blower motor, evaporator core, etc...   $3,500.00 later she came home.   Once I got her home, no kidding---stinking gas tank began to leak.  I drained the tank and let her sit.  Why?   Well because at the time I had a BMW M3, a vette and a Range Rover.  If you own any of those cars you know, they are not cheap to keep.  


So i finally tracked down a replacement gas tank and last month, I got around to having it replaced.   New/used gas tank, new fuel pump, new strainer, new filter.  $600.00 later she was finished.  The pictures by the courthouse were taken the day the tank was installed last month (March 2013).   I don't want to do the math, but you can see I have somewhere upwards to $20,000 in repairs.  

The truth about 928s:  I'm  no expert on 928s.  If you don't know anything about these cars, let me highly, HIGHLY recommend you read Rennlist Forums and ask questions.  The 928s were probably the most advanced cars of their time.  To their owners,  there's nothing like a 928.  I have a 911 C4S that runs circles around the 928, but no one gives a rats ass about 911s.  They're a dime  a dozen in Dallas.   I get a ton of compliments on the 928.   You can drive all day in any major city and not see another one.  For weeks, months, maybe even a year.   They are expensive to preserve.  Why?  Because they were expensive when they came out and when they ended their run.  Aluminum and stainless steel body parts for one= no rust.  Uniqueness.  You can't just throw a fender off any old 911 on these babies.  No siree Bob.  This is a genuine classic.  

So why am I selling her you ask?   Well, look at the pics.  I have  a Benz, 911, RR and 928.  Four cars, three parking spaces.  No way I'm putting her outside.  For now, the Benz stays out.  Plus,  I just bought another 928 . . . LOL

What she needs:  She needs the lights in the dash replaced (which I have), a recharge of the a/c because she sat for 1 1/2 years after the system was redone, and a few minor things.  On this last start up, she has a very small oil leak coming from the back cover valve cover.  According to Rennlist, the back bolts sometimes loosen and need tightening.  I haven't gotten around to doing it because the amount is fairly insignificant.   The engine runs strong and she sounds absolutely beautiful.   

I'm selling her as is and of course she comes with no warranty.  That being said,  I wouldn't sell her if she needed anything significant.  As you can see, I've taken great care of her.  

The interior is in excellent condition considering she's almost 32 years old.  

Ask me any question, and good luck bidding.

Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.

Porsche reveals new 911 GT3 R at the Nurburgring

Fri, May 15 2015

On any given weekend, you're bound to find gaggles of Porsche 911s zipping around most any race track. Now Porsche has revealed its latest competition model at no less fitting a location than the Nurburgring. The new 911 GT3 R replaces the existing version, slotting in below the 911 RSR. It's based closely on the road-going 911 GT3 RS, and retains the same 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with direct injection and variable valve timing, but tuned to deliver over 500 horsepower, transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential paddle-shift gearbox and mechanical limited slip differential. The wheelbase has been stretched over three inches for better weight balance compared to the outgoing GT3 R, further optimized by more lightweight components and a central radiator to lower the center of gravity. The lightweight bodywork is made of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, and for the first time all of the glass (including the windscreen) has been replaced by plexi. Stopping power is provided by six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers gripping 380-millimeter steel discs up front, with four-piston calipers and 372-mm discs at the back. The safety fuel cell can now hold 120 liters of fuel with a cut-off safety valve, the doors and windows can be removed, and the escape hatch is bigger, too. All of this adds up to the promise of a more competitive GT3 R ready to take on the competition, available to privateer racing teams from December for 429,000 euros before tax – working out to about $487k at current exchange rates. World premiere at the Nurburgring Lighter, more economical, faster: the new 911 GT3 R Stuttgart. Based on the 911 GT3 RS production sports car, Porsche has designed a customer sport race car for GT3 series around the world: The 911 GT3 R. In developing the more than 368 kW (500 hp) racing nine-eleven, special attention was paid to lightweight design, better aerodynamic efficiency, reducing consumption, improved handling, further optimised safety as well as lowering service and spare parts costs. Adopted from its production sibling, the 911 GT3 R features the distinctive double-bubble roof, and the wheelbase which had been lengthened by 8.3 centimetres compared to the previous generation. This ensures a more balanced weight distribution and more predictable handling particularly in fast corners corners in comparison to the previous GT3 R.

EVs still burning aboard ship carrying luxury cars near Azores

Tue, Feb 22 2022

LISBON — Heavy tug boats on Tuesday sprayed water on a burning ship carrying thousands of Porsches and Bentleys adrift off the coast of Portugal's Azores islands, the ship's manager said in a statement. The Felicity Ace, carrying around 4,000 vehicles including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys, some with lithium-ion batteries, caught fire on Wednesday last week. The 22 crew members on board were evacuated the same day. Ship manager Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (MOL) said in a statement the vessel was still on fire but stable, and that no oil leak had been reported so far. It also said the ship was drifting further from the Azores islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Two large tug boats equipped with firefighting gear arrived from Gibraltar on Monday, and were working with another patrol boat to spray water at the Felicity Ace and cool it down, MOL said. The arrival of two other tug boats with more firefighting equipment is scheduled for Feb. 23 and Feb. 26. "Together with the all relevant parties, MOL is making every effort to contain the damage and resolve the situation as soon as possible," MOL said. Joao Mendes Cabecas, the captain of the nearest port on the Azorean island of Faial, said on Sunday the fire had lost its intensity, probably because there was little left to burn. Cabecas said as the fire subsides and the structure cools down, firefighting teams and technicians might be able to board the vessel to prepare to tow it either to Europe or the Bahamas. "When conditions are safe the salvage team will board the Felicity Ace for an initial assessment," MOL added. Cabecas told Reuters over the weekend the lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicles were "keeping the fire alive." It was not clear whether the batteries had caused the fire. MOL did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the cause of the fire. Volkswagen, which owns the car brands, said on Monday it did not have any further information to share.
