1973 Porsche 914 in excellent condition, with front and rear GT flares (fiberglass) and rear trunk spoiler.   Body and paint are in excellent condition as I would probably give the paint a 9 and the body a 9+ and is very nice.  Many new parts on this car including full tune up, valve adjustment, alt belt, coil, brakes, shifter bushings,  fuel pump, and new tires.   Clean interior, nice dash, no hvac controls as it was a southern car and previous owner didn't want them in the car and added oil pressure and charging gauges instead.  Engine block is not a  2L, but was rebuilt with 2L heads and pistons and had this verified by my Porsche mechanic.  Fuel injection has been replaced with Solex carburetors and starts right up, fuel pump was relocated to avoid the hot start problem from earlier models.  The car runs and shifts good after its warmed up like most carbureted cars and has a small exhaust leak at the manifold which all but disappears when warmed up.  Battery tray is in great shape and pan and rockers are in really nice shape also.  Passenger mirror is not connected and will need new mount.  Front and rear trunk have been completely sealed and are rust free.  Originally all gauges worked, but the odometer has stopped now at 69000 and I believe this to be real miles as per the previous owner.  I  originally purchased the car because it was one of the best looking 914's I had seen, but I have lost my storage for it and have decided to let it go now.  The car is still in my dealers name so the winning bidder will receive a clean title with a bill of sale upon receiving payment in full.  I will require a $200 deposit with 48 hours of auction's end via Paypal with the balance in cash or Paypal if you want to pay the 2% surcharge due within 7 days.  No out of the country bidders please.  Only bid if you are serious about following through with your bid.  Any additional questions just ask.  Happy Bidding!

Automakers not currently promoting EVs are probably doomed

Mon, Feb 22 2016

Okay, let's be honest. The sky isn't falling – gas prices are. In fact, some experts say that prices at the pump will remain depressed for the next decade. Consumers have flocked to SUVs and CUVs, reversing the upward trend in US fuel economy seen over the last several years. A sudden push into electric vehicles seems ridiculous when gas guzzlers are selling so well. Make hay while the sun shines, right? A quick glance at some facts and figures provides evidence that the automakers currently doubling down on internal combustion probably have some rocky years ahead of them. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a prime example of a volume manufacturer devoted to incremental gains for existing powertrains. Though FCA will kill off some of its more fuel-efficient models, part of its business plan involves replacing four- and five-speed transmissions with eight- and nine-speed units, yielding a fuel efficiency boost in the vicinity of ten percent over the next few years. Recent developments by battery startups have led some to suggest that efficiency and capacity could increase by over 100 percent in the same time. Research and development budgets paint a grim picture for old guard companies like Fiat Chrysler: In 2014, FCA spent about $1,026 per car sold on R&D, compared with about $24,783 per car sold for Tesla. To be fair, FCA can't be expected to match Tesla's efforts when its entry-level cars list for little more than half that much. But even more so than R&D, the area in which newcomers like Tesla have the industry licked is infrastructure. We often forget that our vehicles are mostly useless metal boxes without access to the network of fueling stations that keep them rolling. While EVs can always be plugged in at home, their proliferation depends on a similar network of charging stations that can allow for prolonged travel. Tesla already has 597 of its 480-volt Superchargers installed worldwide, and that figure will continue to rise. Porsche has also proposed a new 800-volt "Turbo Charging Station" to support the production version of its Mission E concept, and perhaps other VW Auto Group vehicles. As EVs grow in popularity, investment in these proprietary networks will pay off — who would buy a Chevy if the gas stations served only Ford owners? If anyone missed the importance of infrastructure, it's Toyota.

Porsche 944 Turbo jumps in the MotorWeek wayback machine

Sat, Apr 25 2015

While there's no shortage of five- or ten-minute time wasters on the Internet, we humbly submit MotorWeek's awesome series of retro reviews as the best way to take up a short break. This time around, we have a classic Porsche from the 1980s, with John Davis reviewing the 944 Turbo. With a whopping 247 horsepower, the 944 Turbo still represents something of a performer even today, with Davis and Company recording a solid 5.7-second sprint to 60. While it might hold its own against today's hot hatchbacks, it's clear that today's vehicles have come a very long way in terms of interior equipment. Among the things MotorWeek highlights that seem weirdly out of place today include the passenger front airbag and, among the variety of old fashioned controls scattered throughout he cabin, the hilarious equalizer controls for the 10-speaker Blaupunkt stereo.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
