This rare 1974 Porsche
roadster (California car) comes with the desirable 2.0 liter engine. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles.The 2.0 liter is considered by many to be the most powerful engine in these cars, especially in the 73' and 74' Porsche 914 (4 cylinder). The earlier 914-6 cylinder is the only engine that came with more power! This great car comes with dual 40mm double barrel
carburetors, and it runs good. It gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are
no dents nor major scratches 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 stock seats! 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 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 and a jack in the rear.
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. 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 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. I am also including a anti-theft device and a water proof car cover with the purchase. Thanks for your interest. |

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
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.
Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'
Mon, Jan 14 2019It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.
