exclusivity combined with Chevrolet reliability form the basis for
this hybrid of a different stripe. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is
pleased to present this 1979 Porsche 928 Renegade. Renegade Hybrid
is a company that has provided other engines, namely Chevrolet
small block V-8s, for installation in Porsches since 1983. This one
has a 350 CID V-8 with Tuned Port Injection out of a
fourth-generation Corvette (1984-1996). Car has maintenance stamps
from Max Dial Porsche/Audi of Inglewood, California, starting on
November 15, 1978 through April 24, 1980 through at least 1,786
miles. The next two mileage entries are at 33,400 miles on May 23,
1983 and 42,603 miles on August 19, 1986. This last entry is
stamped by Lomita 911 Service, Inc., in Lomita, California. A Mr.
Widmer from Indiana bought the car on March 3, 2007. Dressed in
Grand Prix White (code 908), this car's paint is in very good
shape, with only minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The
glass panels are in great shape and the rear and side windows
between the B- and C-pillars are tinted. All of the cars lights,
including the pop-up headlights, are in fine shape. All body panels
are straight and in good finish. The car rolls on Fuzion ZR1 tires,
225/50R16 in front and 245/45R16 in rear surrounding slotted and
chromed factory aluminum wheels. There's an aftermarket rear wing
affixed to the rear hatch. The heart of this example is its small
block Chevrolet V-8, provided by Renegade Hybrids, out of Las
Vegas, Nevada. Renegade takes all of the good things from Porsche -
handling, braking and styling and marries them to powerful,
reliable motors like the famous Chevy V-8, which has been a
favorite choice of buyers for a long time; they're plentiful and
inexpensive to repair and maintain compared to the original Porsche
powerplant and the aftermarket parts are easy to find. Since the
928 was designed to accommodate a V-8 engine, these conversions are
relatively straightforward; many parts are not needed. Making the
conversion brings multiple benefits, most important being cost.
Repairs or replacement of a Porsche engine can be very expensive.
After the conversion, there are no more $1,400 clutch repairs,
$3,500 timing belt replacements or $500 water pumps fixes on the
original Porsche engine. For example, a high-performance Chevy 10�"
disc with Porsche 928 spline costs $220. Since its inception in
1949, Porsche has manufactured only seven�front-engined�models,
four of which were coupes, including the 928. The car has the
distinction of being the company's only coupe powered by a
front-mounted V-8 engine and the company's first production V-8
powered model.Inside, the marron (brown) (code 40A) seats are in
decent shape with some visible wear. The matching carpet is in
great shape. The matching headliner, dashboard, steering wheel,
door panels, mirrors, center console and gearshift lever are all in
good shape. In the dash is a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with CD changer
mounted underneath the dash. Driver assist features include
air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows. The
speedometer works fine, however the odometer is inoperative and a
few trim pieces are missing. Car comes with owner's manual,
warranty and maintenance guide, Blaupunkt stereo owner's manual and
stereo schematics. Competitors to this Porsche in 1979 included
Chevrolet's Corvette, Datsun's 280ZX 2+2 and Ferrari's 308 GTB.
Current mileage on the odometer shows 109,235 miles. It is sold as
is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT
