Thanks for taking a look at my 1975 Porsche 914 1.8
  • I purchased the car 3 years ago in Colorado from the original owner's estate. 
  • Original books, keys, tools, lots of receipts documenting actual original mileage
  • Never restored (never needed it), retains amazing originality
  • Extremely dry and original except for a very high quality respray in the original color "back in the '90s"
  • I have taken many pix of the undercarriage and the "usual suspect" areas prone to corrosion - all dry and original including battery tray and "hell hole"
  • The completely original and very rare red plaid cloth interior is a solid 9: small dash crack above the ashtray, drivers carpet heel pad worn, non-original but 'period' Pioneer Super Tuner
You would be just the 3rd owner of this really great 'survivor' car. Here are some more details:

The car was purchased new from Bryntesen Porsche Audi in Hinsdale IL on 5/15/75 and around 1978 moved to very dry and salt free Glenwood Springs Colorado where it was regularly driven and maintained by the original owner until I purchased the car in July 2011. Upon arrival in NJ I gave it a thorough cleaning, tune up, etc. I put a set of original type Fuchs polished alloys (on Nitto 195/60's) and have driven it to the Northern Adirondacks, the Eastern Shore, Hamptons, Hershey etc without any issues what so ever. I live a few miles from the end of Route 80 and would not hesitate to drive it all the way to the other end of Route 80 tomorrow. This thing gets about 35mpg, starts right up every time, runs super smooth, and thanks to the lower stance (rides about 1.5" lower) handles like a go cart.

I have owned several 914s and looked at lots of them before buying this one, which just could not be passed up. Very hard to find one like this, and you so rarely see that interior in this shape. It a true, honest, well documented car with nothing to hide. A personal inspection is welcome, and I will answer all questions promptly as well as assist in shipping. Of course the car is sold as-is, where-is without any warranties written or implied. You will not be disappointed in this car and will be hard pressed to find a better [mostly] original. Bid with confidence and good luck.

Porsche spotted testing next-gen Panamera in the snow

Thu, Jan 22 2015

It's winter testing season in northern Sweden, and the latest spy shots our paparazzi on the ground have brought us is the upcoming Porsche Panamera testing in the cold and snow. The upcoming new four-door Porsche, spied wearing only minimal camouflage, appears to have a more elegant and sloping roofline than the existing model. Other details like the lights, mirrors and grille openings look fairly consistent with what we've been seeing on Porsche's other models as they've trickled out. Based on the new MSB platform, the new Panamera is set to share its underpinnings with the next Bentley Continental and possibly an Audi variant as well – though the prospect of a Lamborghini version to follow the Estoque concept seems to be off the table. The new platform will, however, make the new Panamera lighter than the current model. A new range of V6 and V8 engines are expected to provide motivation, driving the rear wheels or all four, along with the available e-hybrid system. Porsche's first four-door sedan was introduced in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013, so the all-new second-generation model should arrive sometime later this year or next as a 2017 model. This new model could provide the impetus for Porsche to put the Sport Turismo shooting brake version into production as well, and maybe – just maybe – a two-door coupe and possible convertible versions to follow in the footsteps of the 928.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
