1973 Signal Orange 914-1.7 The interior is very original Brown with a very nice with a crack free dash, original seats with 2 very small repairs, 1 on each cushion (hardly noticeable). It also has the original steering wheel and Blaupunkt Radio which does work, however the car does require an antenna. The carpets have been replaced in the past. The targa top is also in very nice condition inside and out. The engine retains all of its original fuel injection. The battery tray and hell hole are clean and solid. It is believed to be numbers matching, but I have not verified that information. The front and rear trunk as well as the floor boards are solid. The longitudinal's are also solid. The odometer reads just under 70,000 miles, but seems to have quit working in the past few days. It was working just prior to inspection 1 month ago. The speedometer does work. All electrical works, lights, horn etc.. The vehicle just went thru a comprehensive out of province inspection. I had new front struts installed. the tires, exhaust and the rest of the suspension passed all of the requirements. While it was in the shop I also had a tune up completed and the fuel injection was also set up. The ignition switch was also replaced as it was intermittent. I will say that the car runs very well, but does take a few minutes to warm up. The car pulls very nicely thru all gears with no issues whatsoever. It also handles very well. The original jack, partial tool kit, and Fuch spare tire are also included. It will also be for sale locally and I have the right to end this auction at anytime. I will also assit in shipping in anyway that I can, but the cost of shipping is 100% the responsibility of the buyer. Please ask many questions as this sale is as is where is with no implied guarantees or warrantee. I can take more photos if required. Please see the photo share link below for more photos |

Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
2015 Porsche Cayenne spotted with facelift
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Although it's only been a few years since the current Porsche Cayenne was introduced, Porsche seems to be working on a midcycle update for its big SUV possibly in time to welcome the smaller Macan. As seen in these recent spy shots, it looks like the Cayenne will be getting a minor face- and butt-lift, but it's hard to say what other changes are in store or when the updated model will hit showrooms.
Up front, expect the Cayenne's new face to resemble what was just revealed on the 2014 Panamera, and we could also see this SUV using some of the new engines introduced on the Panamera including the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 or maybe even the E-Hybrid model. We're guessing that the new Cayenne could debut sometime next year likely for the 2015 model year. In the meantime, check out the gallery of spy shots above.
