1972 Porsche 914 1.7 Light Ivory over Black Appearance Group Fuel Injected Justin 503-969-5127 Hello out
there in eBay land and welcome to my auction.
For those of you that follow my auctions you know that I have more than
a few fantastic 914 in the last few years.
This one is no exception and my personal favorite. This is a 1972 1.7 liter car with low actual
miles and a perfectly documented history.
An Oregon 3 owner car including myself, I found this car as a total
survivor. Zero rust and all original. Hell hole and battery tray intact. Wearing all of its original paint too. The underside of this Porsche is as dry as a
bone. The lines of undercoating you see
on the bottom side is factory. It has
never been touched since. It does indeed come with the hard Targa top and it is also in excellent shape. Unfortunately,
the paint was pretty tired and as hard as I tried to save it and keep it
original I finally decided that the car was nice enough to deserve a real
complete paint job. This is no easy task
if you want the job to turn out right.
The car has to be stripped of all of its chrome and bumpers and parts so
that the paint can be applied without tape lines and overspray. It is really an undertaking. This is before you get into the actual
prepping and painting of the car. We
used the exact proper color mix from the Porsche code. (Light Ivory L80E) We also used 2 coats of base color plus a
clear coat. It is a fantastic paint
job. The car was incredibly straight to
begin with so very little filler was needed.
I have included before, during and after pictures as well in my
listing. Please call if you have
questions about the paint, painter, or the process. The secret
to a good restoration, or in this case a mini restoration, is to start with a solid
car. Not only was this car solid to
begin with it was, is, and has always been a great running and driving
car. It is tuned and tight. It starts instantly every time without
issue. The gearbox is as good as any I
have driven. The clutch is strong. Suspension, brakes, steering, all great. I have a folder on the car FILLED with
thousands of dollars’ worth of receipts from years of care. The interior
is all original and still very nice.
Almost perfect! No holes cut in
the door panels factory original radio too.
Yes a standard crack in the dash pad. The tires
are new. The wheels are Mahle and very
nice. All the gages and lights work
properly. Wipers, gas gage, blinkers,
radio, heat.. Everything. There is a
custom performance exhaust on the car and it is really nice, but I am including
the original for the purists as well. I
hope the picture demonstrate how nice this car is. It is as nice as these come and was a lot of
work to complete. The winner of this
auction will be happy with this car. Bid
with confidence. This Scout II has a ton of vintage appeal and
will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation. It is over 40 years old so if you are not
used to a vehicle this old please call me and let me help you make an informed

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa
Tue, 15 Apr 2014I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.
