I am selling what was my father in laws 1973 Porsche 914 2.0. It is a strong running 2.0 and runs well, starts right up and shifts nicely as well. The odometer reads 104k miles and it holds oil very well. The engine has some oil dampness on the bottum, but I see only one drop every 6 months to a year. The heat is hooked up and puts out a lot of heat. It was originally black and was repainted at one point to red. The current paint is about 15 year old enemal and I would call the paint job a 7 our of 10. The aluminum trim is in nice condition and the chrome bumpers are some of the nicest I have seen in years. A new battery tray was just installed. Door gaps are good. Overall, the floor pan in very solid. There is some rust in the rear triangle area for the floors on each side. Something must have happened in the front at some point. The piece that the bumper bolts to had been replaced. There is all 5 fuch rims including the spare which are nice, just could use some polishing. The carpets are very nice. There are a couple cracks in the dash, a couple small tears in the seats and back pad. There is a center console with the three gauges. The breaks work very well with a 19mm 911 master cylinder, the front rotors, wheel bearings and pads are new and the front calipers were rebuilt a couple years ago. If I were keeping the car I would put on new rear rotors and pads. There is stainless steel heat exchangers and a hand sewn leather steering wheel. I have driven the car about 100 miles this spring and it has been a fun driver and reliable. The car is located about 15 miles south of Ohare airport just outside of Chicago. It could be driven home, or if you have a need for shipping, I have had very good luck with Fed EX auto transport(800-325-4267). If you have any questions, please let me know. Good luck bidding!

Porsche suspends ties with Maria Sharapova after drug test
Tue, Mar 8 2016Porsche has reportedly suspended ties with Maria Sharapova after the Russian tennis star failed a drug test. The German automaker stopped short of terminating its relationship with the athlete altogether as it awaits the results of a deeper investigation. The issue emerged at the Australian Open, where Sharapova reportedly tested positive for use of a drug called meldonium. Manufactured in Latvia and prescribed in many former Soviet Bloc countries, meldonium is used to treat heart conditions and improve cardiac circulation. It is not approved by the FDA for use in the United States, and the World Anti-Doping Agency added it to its list of prohibited substances at the start of this year. Sharapova admitted that she's been taking the medication for ten years now but that she did not keep up to date on the WADA's list. Since it is considered a prohibited substance, she's been excluded from participating in the Australian Open this year, and suspended from competition as of March 12. She was also scheduled to take part in the Porsche Grand Prix, a tennis event sponsored by the carmaker in Stuttgart next month which she will now apparently have to miss. One of the top-rated female tennis players in the world, Sharapova has served as a brand ambassador for Porsche since 2013. Other sponsors including TAG Heuer and Nike have also reportedly suspended their relationships with the athlete pending further investigation by the International Tennis Federation. Related Video:
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster only looks weirder with age
Tue, Mar 1 2016The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster is undoubtedly a rare car, and it's even rather quick by the standards of the era. However, the designers weren't at their best when they created the odd shape at this model's rear. MotorWeek remembers this classic Porsche's exciting performance and weird look in its latest Retro Review. The Speedster's design isn't all bad. The front end still looks fantastic thanks to the nose of the 964-generation 911 and a steeply raked windshield. We can even live with the body color wheels. However, things get much worse at the rear where the hard cover, which hides the roof, gives the convertible a hunchback. As MotorWeek shows, fitting the manual top is quite fiddly. Porsche might have been better off from a styling perspective by leaving the back smooth and completely ditching the complicated roof. You can't get a good look at the weird rear from the driver's seat, and MotorWeek says that the Speedster excels once you're behind the wheel. The handling and braking are reportedly especially good. Sport seats grip the driver closely, and even with 247 horsepower, the convertible gets to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. With the weather starting to warm up, it sounds like a great experience, and you can imagine taking a ride in MotorWeek's latest video. Related Video:
