1987 Porsche 928s4 Conversion With A 4.8l Vortec Engine. on 2040-cars
Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States
|
I originally bought this car as a daily driver and drove it approx. 4 yrs. before a catastrophic TBF, caused by a faulty water pump. The Porsche engine suffered numerous bent valves and most likely additional engine damage. Not being motivated to have the engine repaired, the car was then parked in my barn, where it remained for 8 yrs. During this time, being that the barn was in the country, numerous rodents made their home inside the car, making the electrical wiring and most of the carpet their prime means of sustenance. I decided to attempt to get the car back on the road about 2 1/2 years ago. Rather than dealing with the expense and maintenance nightmare the damaged Porsche engine would have presented, it was removed and the GM engine was installed (by a reputable 944\928 conversion specialist in the Dallas area). The damaged carpeting was also removed. In the last 2 1/2 years, I've put approx.1500 miles on the GM engine with no problems.
The present state of the various systems is as follows: Working: Power Windows Gauges Radio Lights Alarm No engine oil leaks. No cooling system leaks. Not Working: Odometer Power Seats Cruise Control Air Conditioner (The GM compressor is installed, but the Porsche head unit won't power it.) Sunroof Central Warning System Central Locking System (can be locked and armed with the key) Inside Hatch release. The steering rack has been leaking since I bought the car and needs to be rebuilt. I am leaving any additional repairs to the next owner, and I am not motivated to ship it, so it is being sold as is, where is. I have tried to state the most complete and honest representation of the condition, as well as my history with the car, and with a motivated owner, could be driven daily in comfort and class once again! |

China bans military license plates on luxury autos
Wed, 01 May 2013Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.
