Up for sale is a 1972 914 1.7L Porsche that shows to have 77,601 miles on the odometer (which does not work - speedometer does work) actual mileage unknown. This car is being sold AS-IS with NO-Reserve. I have owned this car for about 1 year with intentions of repairing and restoring. I'm having to move and have no place to work on it so - the opportunity is yours.
As you can see in the pictures I have tried to make it look as good as I can yet at the same time trying to show all defects I am aware of.
The car runs and drives good. Transmission shifts surprisingly well after installing a bushing kit. There is an oil leak. I haven't put it on a rack to find but I think it may be from the drain plug (I have changed the oil). I put new tires on this car and have only put about 1,000 miles on it.
The front and rear trunk lids (as you can see in pictures) have been sat on and the paint has cracked. There are a few places that the paint didn't adhere to the body and has chipped, such as next to the finder and front lid and under the windshield. The windshield has wiper scratches and the mirrors are replacements.
All the lights and gauges are functional except for the odometer (speedometer works). Defroster and hardware are missing. I'm not sure what needs to be replaced. It has a tape player but I have not tried to get it working.
As you can see from the pictures, the interior needs a lot of attention. The person I got it from had let it set out for 10+ years with a leak in the Sun-roof seal. I think I have that fixed but the damage to the upholstery is major. The dash is cracked and carpet is not great. The targa top comes off and on with out a hitch and is in great shape (the glass in it opens to a tilt to let in more air).
The front trunk has a hole in it that I have been told was for an after-market A/C. The person I got the car from had never removed the wooden floor that covers that hole. The Green floor you see in the pictures was purchased to have that floor repaired - which is included with the sale of the car. I have replace the rear trunk lid springs with damper lifts as well as hinges for the rear lid that were bent.
The battery box, that I hear so much about, looks good (I replaced the batter when I got the car).
I have keys for the car- one set for the doors - one for the rear deck - and one for ignition. When the car is first started, it does not like to idle but once it worms up is runs great. I've never driven one of these cars before I bought this on so I have nothing to compare it to (always wanted on when they were new).
This is really a nice car for it to be 41 years old. It's better than I have made it sound. Just want the buyer to know before purchase what I know.
Once again - the car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.
Should you have any questions, I'll try my best to answers them. Thanks for looking and bidding.

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.
Supercar 'Holy Trinity' raced at the track, drag strip, and to 186 mph
Thu, Dec 3 2015There was a time when we weren't sure if we'd ever get the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder on the track together. Now, we've have a multi-part series dissecting how each supercar approaches all kinds of go-fast tasks. Supercar Driver (SCD) looks at their performances around the track, on the drag strip, and on a runway. SCD didn't get any help from the automakers, it used three cars all owned by one British gentleman, Paul Bailey. The first video has British Touring Car Championship driver Mat Jackson running all three around Silverstone. The second video takes the coupes to Santa Pod Raceway to run the quarter-mile. The third video runs them out to Bruntingthorpe Airfield for a drag race to 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph). We found that latter video especially interesting because SCD shows a graph of how fast each car hit speed marks, and it's interesting to see where the winner made up all of its time and the where the third-place getter lost its time. Nota bene, the McLaren is using its fly-paper sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. You'll find the first video in the series above, the second two videos below. If you still haven't had enough, then check out the Hyper 5 three-part series by Alejandro Solomon filmed at California's Thermal Raceway, starting with the Holy Trinity and adding the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and Pagani Huayra. Chris Harris also did fantastic work around Portimao with the help of Marino Franchitti and Tiff Needell, with assistance from the factories. This content is hosted by a third party.
