A RARE GEM AND THE PERFECT COLLECTOR CAR


This is an excellent example (not a concourse car but very original and in incredible shape for its age) of an original 1974 914 2.0L California blue plate car that runs and drives great. This 914 is fitted with it's original engine number 014234 and all the original fuel injection is in place and working correctly. 

When I purchased this car it was (and still is) arrow straight with no rust and only had a few minor dings and paint scratches and I wanted it perfect so we recently detrimmed the entire exterior, including bumpers, body seals, top seals, sail panels and the car was re sprayed in its original color of sunflower yellow. We stripped all paint off to the metal (verified car is accident free, and rust free including all known problem areas including the "hell" hole and lower sills). We replaced almost 95% of all exterior body/top seals in the process including new vinyl sail panels. Car has the desireable Fuchs alloy wheels and tires have great tread remaining. 

This car is all original except for the following: 
- Aftermarket steering wheel (original included but plastic horn surround is detached)
- Aftermarket mirror (original included), radio antenna, and carpet was replaced with an appropriate reproduction that looks the same as original. 

It also has the Porsche dealer/port installed A/C system from the period, the compressor turns freely but system does not blow cold. The engine runs great and shifts in to all gears with no problems. I just had most engine vacuum hoses replaced along with a valve adjustment and oil change. 

Now a little bit of history. This 1974 Porsche 914 was purchased originally in California and was owned by original owner and stored in air conditioned warehouse along with a large collection of other vehicles until the owners passing, then it was sold at his estate sale and the car was purchased by 2nd owner and transported to N.C. in 2004 and remained indoors until my purchase in 2012. The odometer works correctly and I believe the mileage to be accurate and not turned over but obviously cannot be sure of that, as no records accompanied the car from original estate sale. I am available by email to answer any questions or provide any additional information not listed. A Porsche Certificate of authenticity accompanies the car

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
