Up for bid is my 1974 Porsche 914. This car is a very special car and is one of the coolest I have seen, not to mention the most fun. The car is an absolute blast on the track or on sunday afternoon drives. My father took the car to a track day last season and I havent had enough time to enjoy it... so it must go. I also recently acquired my fathers old SCCA race car. All this being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed this car and wish I had the money and space to keep it. I have put less than 500 miles on the engine after the overhaul and tune. 


I bought the car probably close to five years ago and initially got the top end overhauled by a reputable 914 mechanic in my area who tuned it and got it back to perfect mechanical condition. We estimate with all the modifications the car is putting down a little over 200hp and is very quick! I had an original 914 that was stock when I first bought this car and it was fun to get in this one after driving the stock one. 

The modifications to the car are what make it special. It has over $22,000 in modifications (almost 20 years ago), which probably would cost over $40,000 nowadays. I have been told the car is worth over $20,000 by the original owner in a good economy. But at the moment, the market for these cars is weak and I simply need the money for college and to get into SCCA racing. My loss is your gain. 

Here is a list of majority of the upgrades and modifications:
944 turbo custom front bumper
oil cooler front bumper w/ thermostat
weltmeister front sway bar
turbo tie rod kit
bump steer kit
150lb rear springs
front torsion bars 22MM

subtotal: $22,389.14 (just in mods)

The car also comes with a spare set of wheels for the track (cookie cutters), but the track slicks are shot.

Bad: The car has some small rust bubbles that are showing, but they are easily fixed and not very noticeable. The paint on some of the wheels is also flaking off though there is absolutely no corrosion. These two issues are not very major but I believe in being completely open. If you have any questions about these two problems or would like pictures please shoot me an email. 

Overall, this car is an amazing car. I have enjoyed it and have contemplated keeping it, but it is time for it to go. I was reading a guide to getting into racing. The first step in the book was, "sell the Porsche." So after selling my original 914, my '87 944 turbo and my '77 911 it is time for this one to go too. 

Let me know if you have any questions or want more pictures. dawendy01@gmail.com or (540)728-0203

I accept cashiers checks, wire transfers, cash in person or paypal. $1000 deposite within 48 hours and I can help arrange shipping nationally or internationally. 

Enjoy the bidding and I hope the next owner enjoys the car as much as I have. 

Dan

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.

Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
