Up for sale is my RUST FREE 1973 Porsche 914 that I acquired earlier this spring from a gentlemen who restored and raced Porsche 911's. In the past two months I've added three Volvo's to my collection and have decided to focus on Swedish iron. The previous owner gave me quite a comprehensive history on the car so please read the entire description as I'd like to give the new owner as detailed overview as I can.


This 914 underwent an extensive restoration in 2011 and has approximately 8,000 miles since that was completed. Here's a rundown of what was done during the restoration:

*The car was originally signal orange but was professionally painted Tomato Red including the targa top (1992 VW GTI color).
*Originally a 1.7 block, the engine was rebuilt by JCS to 2.0 specs. Fuel injection converted to dual 44 carbs with correct emulsion and jets
*new engine mounts at rebuild
*Cam is a Webcam mild street
*5-speed transmission rebuilt. Has a new Sachs clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing, optimized Delrin bushings in most of the linkage.
*new glass all around and German top of the line rubber
*Period correct exhaust with German 2.0 setup
*stainless steel brake lines, Ferodo pads, 911 master cylinder and new OEM rotors
* Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires 205/60/15 (now have about 8,000 miles on them)

Since the restoration was completed there were some additional performance tweeks:
*New Nology wires
*New Bosch blue coil
*new K&N washable filters
*NOS 009 Bosch distributor
*pertronix ignition
*new fuel pump with glass fuel filters
replaced steering rack, bushings and bearings
replaced heater blower with a 3-speed out of a 911
window cranks are from a late 356
replaced all tie rods
new Optima battery with external cutoff switch
synthetic oil and all Royal purple fluids throughout


The wheels are real Fuchs 2.0 alloys (not replicas) with real alloy center caps. All chrome is excellent. There were some minor cracks on the dash so it's now has a new hard cover. High end Sony cd stereo. Original black carpet is in very good condition with a set of Porsche black mats. The seats are in excellent condition but do have a few minor seam splits and tears. The targa top has a new gray felt headliner.

Included for the new owner is a shop manual and a very hard to find set of three keys - black OEM, red OEM valet and one metal dealer blank. Some work receipts available.

Finally, I was told by the previous owner (the 911 racer) that this 914 puts out 142 hp and I believe it. A few years ago I owned a 74 914 with fuel injection and this is so much faster and responsive. 1973 is the preferred year for 914's. For whatever it's worth, the 2012 Collector Cars Price Guide (Krause Publications) estimates this car to be valued at $16,800 in #2 condition. I would grade it very close to that condition.

Every time I sell one of my classic cars I get asked if I'm interested in a "trade". As explained above, if you have an interesting old (pre-1973) Volvo or Saab in excellent condition, I'm all ears- if you have an old Harley or 65 Cadillac, don't bother asking. I'm certainly no expert on Porsche's but I spent 6 months researching 914's before buying this one. You'll be hard pressed to find one better at the asking price.

Keep in mind this is a 40 year old car...there are no warrantees or guarantees. Vehicle is sold as is. If you are local, email me for an appointment to see and drive the car before buying and feel free to bring your mechanic or Porsche expert. I am happy to assist your shipper with delivery.

Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.

Porsche offers detuned Boxster and Cayman 211 in Europe

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a new Porsche Boxster? First of all, we commend you on your choice, because in its latest iteration, the Boxster has sped out from under the shadow of the 911 and into its own. But now to choose: do you get the base model with 265 horsepower, the Boxster S with 315 hp, or the top-of-the-line Boxster GTS with 330 hp? It's a daunting question, considering the $10k+ price gap between each model that you could put into the gas-and-rubber jar. Same goes for the Cayman, albeit with ten more horses across the board. But as if that's not confusing enough, there appears to be another player on the field. (That is, at least, in certain European markets.)
Appearing on the company's Belgian and Norwegian sites are the Boxster 211 and Cayman 211. As you might have guessed, they pack a less substantial 211 horsepower, undercutting what we know as the base models. Instead of using a smaller engine, though, the Boxster and Cayman 211 get the same 2.7-liter boxer six, just with less power.
As a result, they're a bit slower off the line: the Boxster 211 takes between 6.1 and 6.4 seconds to get to 62, depending on exact specifications, compared to the 5.5- to 5.8-second range for the 265-hp Boxster, while the Cayman 211 is quoted at 6.2 seconds versus the 275-hp Cayman's 5.4 to 5.7 seconds. Fuel consumption and emissions, on the other hand (and as you'd expect), are better in the 211. But while Porsche Norway charges around $10k less for the 211 models, Porsche Belgium charges the same for the 211 models as it does for the next most powerful versions (from which they appear to be visually indistinguishable).
