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!

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
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.
