Only 1000 Limited Edition 914s were built and 500 of them were Creamsicles, a color scheme of Light Ivory and Pheonix Red. This car is one of only 86 Creamsicles known to still exist. I have a Certificate of Authenticity for this car from Porsche, confirming that this is a genuine Limited Edition car. You can learn more about these special cars by searching for the Can Am Registry. This one is listed under 15066. I am fortunate in that this is the second 914LE I have owned. I had one in the early 1980s that I kept for quite a few years. This one is actually nicer than the one I had then, that was less than 10 years old when I bought it. As you can see from the pictures, this car appears to have been treated with loving care for all its life. This 914 is in very original condition. The paint, interior (including an 8-track am/fm radio), and engine are all original and the car still looks great, and runs and drives beautifully. The 2.0 engine has the original mechanical fuel injection, which has never given me any problems at all. I’ve owned the car for 10 years after buying it from a gentleman in Asheville North Carolina. To my knowledge, there are only a few minor things that are not original. After purchasing it I had the fuel pump moved from its original position to the Porsche recommended location, forward of the engine compartment. I bought new reproduction center caps for the wheels, new reproduction lug nut covers, the battery, tires (except for the spare which is original), and a new tail light lens cover. Everything in the car works, except for the clock, the cold-start valve, and the odometer. The clock worked when I bought it and for several years afterwards, but it likely needs lubricating now. The hands move occasionally, but it no longer keeps any semblance of time, like it once did. The cold-start valve is not really needed in my climate, so I simply unhooked and capped the hose leading to it and the car starts right up winter or summer here with no issues. The odometer stopped not many drives ago after I tried to reset the trip-meter to zero. That apparently jammed something. The miles showing are 49,068 and I do not believe that the car has been driven more than 500 miles since the odometer stopped. Several years ago I had the car shipped via professional enclosed car carrier to Automobile Atlanta for expert service. They replaced the original battery tray with an exact duplicate of the original and found no rust problems beneath the tray. They serviced the car and replaced a few worn parts and hoses with OEM parts, or replicated parts when OEM was no longer available. All of the gauges work and the heater, original radio, fog lights, pop-up headlights, intermittent and two speed windshield wipers, hazard lights, etcetera work very well. The very nice original condition of the car is evidence of the low mileage and the care with which it has been driven and maintained. A previous owner of the car was a Amateur Radio enthusiast and had an antenna installed on the rear truck lid. The installation created a drill-hole in the rear trunk lid, but it was well capped-off when I bought it and has been fine since. There are no rust issues. Other than a few surface spots in the front trunk and on the battery tray (literally just started surface discoloration and pictured below) I am aware of no rust whatsoever. You can hear the vehicle run in this video I took with my cell phone the other day, and uploaded to YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1frEyrRiVis"> CLICK HERE </a>
The car is located in North Carolina and as long as I have owned the car, it has always been garaged. The 1974 New York tag on the car is one I bought on ebay because in NC you can run tags the year of the car, as long as the regular tag is in the vehicle. North Carolina does issue titles for vintage cars and I do have the clear title to it. |

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 18 2016Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.

Ruf RGT 4.2 offers 518 hp of naturally aspirated power
Thu, Mar 5 2015Ruf has a reputation for building some fast interpretations of the Porsche 911, and the company's latest RGT 4.2 at the Geneva Motor Show provides an interesting point of comparison compared to the new GT3 RS that's debuting there. In terms of pure power, the Ruf wins out. The company crafts a flat six with 4.2-liters of displacement making 518 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a top speed of 200 miles per hour. In contrast, the latest GT3 RS gets 500 ponies and 338 lb-ft of twist from its direct-injected 4.0-liter mill. Depending on your desires, the RGT 4.2 might have the preferred gearbox too with its six-speed manual versus the Porsche's PDK. Styling is also going to come down to personal tastes between these two. The RGT 4.2 has an almost old-school racing look with its bolted-on fender flares, five-spoke wheels, thick carbon fiber rear wing and lower front air dam. Inside, there's also an integrated roll cage. The RS, on the contrary, appears thoroughly modern with its big fender intakes at the back, slashes just behind the front wheels, CFRP hood and magnesium roof. Check out Ruf's naturally aspirated monster on the Geneva show floor in the gallery, above. The RGT 4.2 maintains a long tradition of Ruf supercars with its outrageous driving performance. Unveiled in 2000, the first RGT was characterised by its powerful, torquey normally-aspirated flat-six engine. With a significantly reduced all-up weight and sports-oriented suspension system, the RGT was an extremely impressive driving machine.Now, in 2015, the RGT remains true its original concept, though its external appearance is clearly more athletic. The wheel arches are more bulbous and the front facade presents huge round air intakes for more effective cooling. The chassis is reinforced by RUF's hallmark Integrated Roll Cage (IRC). Propulsion is provided by its virile 4.2-litre six-cylinder, normally-aspirated engine, developing 525bhp and 500Nm of torque, featuring dry sump lubrication with external oil tank. A proper driving machine for sure POWER 525 PS / 386 kW @ 8.370/min TORQUE 500 Nm @ 5.820/min DISPLACEMENT 4178ccm TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual gearbox TOP SPEED 322 km/h FUEL CONSUMPTION urban 19,8 l/100km non-urban 9,8l/100km combined 13,6 l/100km CO2 emissions 317g/km Effizienzklasse G Related Video:
