1986 Porsche 928s Project Restoration Upgrades on 2040-cars
Jasper, Georgia, United States
|
I purchased this 928S project last year with the intent to restore it, but have been focusing on other projects (928 5 speed) & it doesn't need to sit anymore.
The previous owner told me the water pump failed & it "might" need a head gasket. When the mechanic started inspecting, it was discovered the timing belt mechanism had failed & the timing belt slipped. Most likely that caused damage to the heads. There is little compression in this engine. Either the engine will need to be swapped (my original plan) or the heads rebuilt. The body is straight & true & appears to be free of any prior damage. The interior is not too bad considering the car's age. The battery was dead & removed. The exhaust is complete, including the catalytic converter, as is the suspension, brakes, etc. This car was on the road driving last in January, 2013, so it has not been sitting for years. The tires have decent tread, but have dry-rot & will need to be replaced. The paint has faded sitting in the Georgia sun, but can be brought back to a reasonable shine with a professional buff & wax. Please look at the photos which were just taken for an accurate analysis of the vehicle. The front seats shown came from an '85 parts car & I'm pretty sure they work properly, but they have not been hooked up to verify. This is a non-running project or parts car & priced accordingly. My hope someone will restore it and not use it for parts, as it is pretty good shape. Any winning bid over $3500, I will include a brand new water pump that was purchased shortly after buying the car. NO RESERVE! It will sell to the highest bidder. Good Luck! This car has a clear issue & lien free title. You are responsible for any taxes your state might charge & transportation. When using the ebay shipping calculator, keep in mind carriers charge more for non-running vehicles. I will work closely and promptly with your carrier to ensure prompt delivery. |

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
There's a Porsche Cayman under here somewhere
Wed, 15 Jan 2014What we have here is the work of Dubai tuner Royal Customs that is controversial even beyond its styling. The Middle East aftermarket house says it spent fourteen months developing a bodykit for the Porsche Cayman, and the results seem to be aimed at those who wish their coupe were a 918 Spyder - the nose, strake-filled and widened rear fender, carbon fiber wing and massive diffuser all cribbing some from Stuttgart's new hybrid supercar.
Even without a buyer, the Alpha One Concept is already controversial. When WorldCarFans posted on the Royal Customs car recently, German tuner Alpha-N Performance wrote in alleging that the Dubai package copies their design from two years ago, which was also called the Alpha One, a design with which it's clear the Dubai Alpha One shares numerous cues. We asked Royal Customs about its relationship to the Alpha One car, we were told, "Yes, there is a lot we can say about the remarkable similarities all of which will be explained by our press release by Mr. Emil from Autogespot. Please wait for the official release and you will have the full exciting story. It's an 'actual success story' and not a 'replication' story."
The response is referring to an "extensive report" on the car coming out of Autogespot. Royal Customs doesn't have the Alpha One Concept on its site yet, so we're still missing quite a few details on it, such as whether the Porsche engine has been given a similarly 918-ish workover. We do know that the company says each car takes 30 days to build and it will only build three of them, which is a number that should satisfy any haters and, even more so, its buyers. You can decide which side of the fence you're on by having a close look at it in the gallery above.
Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms
Tue, 22 Jul 2014In 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.
