1970 Porsche 914-6 Original Colors Numbers Matching on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Porsche
Drive Type: 2WD
Model: 914
Mileage: 999,999
Trim: Metallic green/ Black leatherette
Up for auction is a nice 1970 Porsche 914-6. It has had one respray from new in the original color of metallic green. The paint looks very nice, but there is some "solvent pop on the hood & the headlight doors. It isn't super noticeable and I tried to photograph it but I want to be clear that the paint likely looks a little better in photos than in person. There is also a ding in the passenger door & another small one on the cowl. Both are pictured. The floors have some rust in them but no major holes. Yet. There is a small dent in the front bumper (pictured). The rest of the car is VERY solid. It was painted about 20 years ago, so if anything was going to show up, I think it would have by now. It runs, drives, shifts & stops very nicely. I didn't drive it a lot, but to me, this car is WAY more fun than a 911 especially with the top off. The former owner was a PCA auto-x enthusiast so he put a sport exhaust & weltmeister sway bars on it and lowered it a bit. Other than that it is original. I have the COA and the numbers match. It also comes with the original service book, handbook and window sticker. This car is not a restored trailer queen, but it does present itself very nicely and it is a great driver that you can enjoy while it appreciates in value. I am thinning the herd while I am waist deep in the restoration of my 59 356 cab. I have tried to represent this car as accurately as I can through my description and photos. Email any questions and happy bidding.

Please do not email me asking to buy the car offline. The auction will run it's course & the reserve is very realistic, so bid to win. It is a very good car at a fair price. Thank you.
On Feb-08-13 at 12:22:53 PST, seller added the following information:
The odometer reads 79k & I believe this to be correct although I can't swear that it is but the car is too nice for it to be 179k. The motor & trans were rebuilt by Mike Bruns who is a very well known guy here in Florida. I have been trying to reach him & the prior owner. I do not know the mileage since the rebuild or the specs, but the motor / trans are still clean, do not leak or smoke & function very well. The engine performs better than I would expect a 110hp motor to, so I suspect that it might have some head work &/ or cams. But, again, I make no promises. I expect to have firm answers to this before the close of auction. I posted some additional photos of the top of the engine (what you can see of it) and the original books & window sticker & keys. They are in the original Porsche+Audi pouch (not pictured).

Ebay is going through some sort of maintenance issues according to their bulletin board & will not let me upload any photos. I will get the additional photos up ASAP. Thanks.
On Feb-10-13 at 11:10:57 PST, seller added the following information:
Ebay is still having technical issues that prevent me from adding photos. I forgot that there is a fairly complete tool kit. The engine # is 6405550.

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?
Sun, 06 Oct 2013Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.
