1974 Porsche 914 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Saint Helens, Oregon, United States
|
Very nice condition 1974 Porsche 914. A very nice driver quality car, exterior in nice conditions with minor rock chips here and there, no real dents to speak of. It doesn't appear this has ever had any bodywork and is pretty much void of rust. Looks like it was resprayed quite well in the original color. Not sure how long ago, I would guess 20 yrs or so. The gloss on the hood has faded, but is not peeling anywhere. The interiors of the front and rear trunk have only minor very light surface rust here and there. To be expected of a car that is 40 years old. The 914 shows that it has been garaged throughout its life. This is an originally fuel injected 1.8 liter. It has been had the 1.8 liter heads replaced with the 2.0 heads. I just removed the fuel injection system last fall and installed the dual empi set up. The fuel injection system was running well at time of removal and is included in the sale. I am a carburetor guy, so I wanted something that I could work on. FI could be reinstalled with no problems. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Brakes work well, tires have plenty of tread, but are older. If I were to keep car, I would likely replace them. The key is starting to wear in the ignition as well, something I would probably replace in the future. Sometime it turns right away, sometimes it takes several tries. Interior is in very nice condition. A couple of cracks shown on the drivers seat on entry side only. Passenger is excellent. Dash has a couple of minor cracks as shown. I just replaced the interior carpet and there was no rust under the original. Headliner is in excellent condition and shows no wear. All glass is in good condition with no cracks, I believe there is a small rock chip in windshield. The doors shut perfectly with no sag. The rear trunk lid latches and closes better than any new car! Front closes perfect with no sag in the springs. This is an overall very nice car for 40 years old! It is not a show car by any means, just one that has been taken care of very well and enjoyed thoroughly! I welcome pre purchase inspections if you should choose to want to look at it in person. New outdoor car cover included ($300) Shipping is buyers responsibility, I will be flexible with shipping if you choose that option. It will need to be picked up within 7 days of auction end. If you pay with paypal, all paypal fees will be added to purchase price. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end, full payment due within 5 days. Vehicle runs well, sold as is. For additional pics, send question and I will supply a link to my photo bucket account. Ebay does not apparently allow links in their descriptions... |

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.
Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
