For sale at NO RESERVE I have owned this car for over 20 years. I bought it from a rich guy in Beverly Hills that lived next door to Jack Nickolson's house on Mulholland Drive. The car was not cheap to me at the time. He told me the original owner was Steven Spielberg but I have no documention to back this up. The car runs and drives like new. In fact, it has been my favorite car ever to drive. I have had newer SL Mercedes, Maseratis and other Porsches and this has been my favorite of them all - no lie! I had this car previously for sale about two years ago for $15,000 and it didn't sell. But I had some people come and look at it and drive it. One guy said it was the nicest one he has seen and it was by far the tightest example he looked at. And he said he had looked at quite a few. Unfortunately, my price was just too high at that time for him. I have been traveling quite a bit lately. I just don't have time for it any more. So I am now selling it at no reserve. I am traveling again in mid August so it is very import that the car sells next week, it is picked up/delivered and paid for no later than August 10th. The car is in very good condition. The black paint is glossy and there is not one dent or door ding on the car. Of course there is no rust or any silly like that and it has been in Southern California its whole life. The interior is nearly perfect and looks like new. The car has the rare and very expensive full leather package (over $4000 at that time). There are of course leather seats, but the entire door panels are lined and stitched in leather, as as pretty much every other surface including the headliner but not the top of the dash board. The instrument pod has a hair thin crack in it and it not really noticeable inside the car and hardly so on the outside. It was that way when I bought the car and it has not gotten any worse. Since it was not a big deal, I never replaced the pod. The transmission is a 4 speed and works like new. I have never had a engine or mechanical breakdown with the car in over 20 years that has let me stuck. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. In fact, I recently drove this car up in to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and it performed beautifully. It handles better than most new cars and everything from the suspension to the steering is very tight. The car runs and drives like new and puts to shame most cars built today. It has a monster sound system with 14 speakers and two amps. The eight speakers mounted in the car are original and then there is a box set in the rear that can be removed in about 20 seconds with six more speakers, including the bass woofers. The stereo is a top of the line Nakamishi and sounds great. I think Mr Spielberg wanted only the best. Being sold with the car is a new set of belts (all four aux belts plus the timing belt) and a new OEM Porsche waterpump. I was planning to do a service now but I decided to sell the car instead. All the window and sunroof work as they should. All glass has a security etch on it with the VIN. This was done back in the day when these cars were being stolen because it was one of the most expensive cars you could buy at the time. In fact, the MSRP with options was $55,000. Only cars like Ferraris and Aston Martins were more.. While the car looks and runs great, there are some little issues that need to be tended to to make it perfect - like the A/C stopped working about four years ago. It has a new compressor so I know it is not something big like that. Probably just needs a charge. And the ABS light on the dash is lit up. I was told that the system is pretty trouble free and the most likely cause is something like a loose wire on a wheel sensor. But there is no reason you couldn't drive the car across the country tomorrow. I would just change the oil and you would be good to go. The car is located in Perris California. The pictures I have posted are terrible but they are the only ones I had on this computer. I will take some better ones in the next day of so and post them. If you want more details, send me a message and I will respond to it with in 24 hours. If you are looking for 1986 1/2 Porsche 928S, you would be hard pressed to find a better example. You will not find a finer and tighter driving example than this one - guaranteed! Again, being sold at NO RESERVE!!!! If you are the winner of this auction, again, it is very important that the car is delivered no later than August 10th as I will be traveling after that. On Jul-26-14 at 22:15:20 PDT, seller added the following information: I uploaded some new pictures I took today. I also took the car out for a drive thru the hills. I got to tell you, I am having second thoughts again about selling it. Especially so if that bid doesn't start creeping up. It drives so nice. It drives straight. Brakes straight. There is no vibration or tug on the steering wheel. No squeaks or rathles. The suspension is stiff but not jarring. It drives like new. I took a good shot of the engine bay. It really needs to be steam cleaned but it looks pretty good for not having been cleaned in a while. I tried to take a shot from all angles. I washed the car and the paint really shines. But being black and living in California, it doesn't take long before you see the dust again. The interior is the best part of the car. It looks great with all that black and tan leather. I even took a shot of the dash so you can see the crack (you can hardly see it). I took a shot of the gauges with the car running. All the gauges and idiot lights work as they should. You can see it has good oil pressure at idle and the engine warmed up. I have a shot of the trunk with the amps. The speaker box slides in and connects to the speaker wires in 20 seconds. I took a picture of the bottom of the car. It is very clean and totally rust free. There is not one speck of rust anywhere on this car. You can see the picture of the belt, water pump, oil filters and transmission filter that come with the car (all that is worth about the current bid is now....lol). The spare wheel and tire has never been used. The pump is there and so it the Porsche bag to put your tire in if you get a flat. And I have all the manuals and keys for the car including the key locks for the lug nuts. The car is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells elsewhere.
