Hmm, the last post he made is gone, also...but there was nothing in it about how the extra horsepower was made- it was all just routine maint. for most people on here.. intake refresh and fluids changed doesn't add up to 110 hp...

We have taken down our ad, i guess that was what all this was about anyway. We have left this forum never to return. I sure hope I never end up like you folks here in this forum. We'll sell it locally. We will have no problem once good weather hits here in NY.

Sucks to get caught mis-representing something. The members here were trying to educate you, make you more informed. Interesting that you come back as you just did.

Good luck on the sale, and I hope to hell some poor guy doesn't get taken by you.

Just saving this for no particular reason.


1980 PORSCHE 928 / 5 SPEED VIN-92A0811601

Red & Black 1980 Porsche 928 5 speed. 3 owners and being 1 of 800 - 5 speeds manufactured that year, this car has only been driven around 3,000 - 4,000 miles per year, every year of its life. This car has always been stored in climate controlled storage. All maintenance on the car has been maintained like clockwork through out the life of the automobile. Belt and h20 pump done at 118,000. We have tons of service records for this VIN 928. All service for, and up 120,000 miles has been completed. This car starts with the turn of the key every time and runs and rides absolutely perfect. This is a well kept 928 and all numbers match. . The Rare Factory Installed Alpine Stereo System Has All Been Upgraded To New Speakers and Amps. (Six Speakers And A Sub Woofer). If you are a person looking to buy a 928 and keep it and take care of it, this 1980 is a wonderful candidate.

928 PHOTOS LOCATED HERE
http://donporsche928.com/928%20web/1...ored/index.htm


WE ARE STILL PUTTING THIS LIST TOGETHER OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO THIS 928 SINCE WE PURCHASED IT.
We will keep adding as we remember it.

WORK WE HAVE DONE ON THIS 1980 928

We bought this 928 instantly because of the history of the car and the beautiful condition the 3 owners took care of the car of over the last 31 years. It was in really good condition before we bought it. And we know this 928 has had a creampuff life by the service records we hold. We brought the car to our mechanic to make a punch list of all that needed to be done to make it mechanically perfect, reliable, and a daily driver. The car is in great shape but did sit more than it was driven..... so here we go............

________________________________________________________________________ ___________

ENGINE, DRIVE TRAIN, SUSPENTION:

We inspected the front-end and replaced inner and outer front bearings…. (The rest of the front end was in really good condition, ball joints, and control arms, done in the past) steering rack in Perfect condition.

We had a compression test done on the engine, Oil change on engine, oil change on manual transmission, oil change on rear-end….(Went through the oil with a magnet and found no filings), Plugs, cap, rotor, wires, new electronic injectors, fuel Pressure regulators, new Fuel rails, and Both fuel pumps back at the tank, along with replacing all old rubber lines.

Disassembled the entire top of the engine (intake), which gave us room to clean, paint and detail the engine compartment. Reassembled the entire intake system with new gaskets, rubber, vacuum lines, and with cleaned and rebuilt throttle body.

New alternator

All new linkage for manual transmission shifting

Installed short shifter for nice tight shift pattern

New A/C compressor and expansion valve. (R-12)

Drained and flushed all brake and clutch lines replaced with new fluid

Drained and flushed all engine radiator system

Inspected clutch…All good, Tight and New….(Was done around 118,000 with the belt and pump….2 discs, Throughout Bering, Pilot Bering, intermediate disc, plastic cup at top of clutch arm, pressure plate, the works.

Tire on back right side was worn from bent sway bar on that side…..replaced both sway bars in back.

Inspected rear-end and ½ shafts and seals. All good…

Shocks all good... (Replaced in the past)

Springs all good… (Original)

BODY AND EXTERIOR:

We took the original paint job on this car and gently rubbed it out and put a fine coat of wax on it. The exterior of the car has been maintained over the years by NICK ORSO’S BODY SHOP in Syracuse NY. The only part of the car that has ever been repainted was the front nose because of chips and scratches from highway driving.

The wheel wells and under side of the car have also been wire brushed, cleaned, and repainted.

All four rims have been sanded down and refinished.

We applied the Porsche decal on the back bumper and side of car with the fender badge to compliment the black front bra that comes with this purchase of this 928

Interior:

We completely took the entire inside of the car apart. Pulled seats, carpet, dash, interior panel’s right down to the floor boards. This is the way I like to detail the inside of a 928. We installed a new stereo system and replaced all factory speakers from 1980 with updated equipment including a nice 6 channel stereo with sub subwoofer. Cleaned, shampooed, detailed, all interior panels, carpet, dash pieces and treated with leather treatment. Reinstalled all interior cleaned and leather treated. While dash was out checked to make sure seal was not broken on speedometer connection behind the dash…

Installed custom LED lighting for the under areas of the inside floor and the dash display. The lights on the original dash are not bright enough for me. These lights can be turned on or off as desired.

We purchased new red carpets with back 928 lettering for front foot area to accent the front compartment with some red.

We replaced two switches for the windows.

All new windshield wipers all the way around

We completed total fuse box maintenance. Replacing all fuses and relays, cleaning and making sure all contacts are good, and that all electrical options work correctly.

Replaced all light bulbs in the entire car.



4 New tires


more to come.........

Ok, we have revised our listing to be more informational and less misleading along with listing the work done to the car. I thought I would check in here with the 928 Police and make sure you are all happy with how my car is currently presented on the internet. I value the opinions here so let me have it……just kiss me first___:0)

15" wheels are probably wrong for 5sp car. They should be 7x16" phone dials.

Don, I think you'll have much better success with this most recent listing. More facts, less embellishment.

What you need to understand is that you're posting in a place where the 928 torch bearers live, many of us have been through several 928's, love them dearly, and go to great lengths to make them right after years of neglect. There's a few guys on the board that I would buy a 928 from sight unseen, simply because I know they're dedicated, knowledgeable, and have been to the 928 school of hard knocks. Then there's the unknown's... then it's caveat emptor to the max. It's not personal, it's context.
