1983 Porsche 928 S Coupe 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Park Ridge, Illinois, United States
1983 Porsche 928S 4.7 L V8. Starts right up. The paint and body are in excellent shape, no rust anywhere. Garaged kept it's whole life. Interior is in really good condition, other than the dash shrunk from the heat of the sun, very common on these cars. Power seats have no rips or tears in the leather. Non-smoker car. Power moonroof works perfect. Exterior flip out lights work perfect. Has window tints all around. Tints are perfect with no bubbles. This is NOT the blue or purple tints. I have two sets of keys. Very clean car, I used the car just for cruising on the highway and to see friends, a nice "toy" for anyone looking to just do nothing and enjoy the car. Rims are not original, they are BBS aftermarket, are in good shape. Tires have about 60% tread left. Front driver side tire, has a slow leak, needs to be pumped up once a month a few pounds (nothing major).
The bad: Passenger power window switch works on or off (button), but the window does go up and down no problem (motor works great). Old stereo system has amplifier switches on the dash where the clock would be, but I never knew how to use them (original owner had it installed). The original clock is missing. A/C works great but lever that controls the temperature broke off, it still hangs on (doesn't look broken). You have to move the lever with the cap off with your finger to control the temperature. |

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
