This rare 1974 Porsche roadster (914) with a 2.0 liter engine comes with dual 40mm double barrel carburetors. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles. This car runs good, and it gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are no major scratches nor dents on the exterior. The paint is okay, but there are a few imperfections, especially on the front hood. There is no visible rust. The tires are good, with about 70% of tread left. The brakes work fine, and I have extra brakes/calipers and many other spare parts for this vehicle. Car also comes with the original owner's manual and with about 15 repair books covering the entire vehicle (motor, transmission, electrical, body, suspension, fuel system, etc). The lights (electrical) on this car work fine. Registration/tags are good through August of 2014 and car is insured. I have the title/ pink slip registered to me.

 

 The seats are recaro/ Porsche seats from a 2000 Porsche Boxter or Carrera; they have seat covers and are a lot more comfortable than the original! The carpet, door panels, the back pad, the dash and everything in the interior looks good. Doors open and close fine and all door handles and window cranks work fine. The front glass and windows are good without cracks. The rubber seals are there, and they keep the interior dry. The dash is the original one, and was somewhat refurbished (cracks were filled and sanded, & dash was dyed black). Car has a nice Alpine CD stereo, and it also has several speakers. Car also comes with a center console with 3 gauges (clock, voltage and temp). There is a newer spare tire in the front compartment with a jack.

 

 There are some minor things that might need attention, like the AC, heater and the speedometer. They are either not functional or they are simply not connected (could be a fuse, relay or a line not connected). Fuel and temp gauges work fine. Also, I recently noticed that the car has a really minor oil leak, possibly from a pushrod tube. The seal might need to be replaced (easy fix). I always drove this vehicle on the weekends, with the top off (I never needed any AC or heater). Since my baby was born about 7 months ago, I haven't been driving it too much, and now It is time to pass it on. I regularly had a technician adjust the valves, carburetors and the timing. The car is 40 years old and it is in really good condition, overall! It is a survivor!! Potential buyers are welcome to come see the car. Thanks for your interest.

Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
