1986.5 5-speed Porsche 928 S Turbocharged 22,900 Miles, 2-owner Concours Gt Gts on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:22920 Color:
Location:

Austin, Texas, United States

Austin, Texas, United States

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 drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

There 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.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Porsche 911 already testing next refresh

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
