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 considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.

Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs

Fri, Nov 20 2020

You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaint Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’s Tata Motors Ltd., said in its filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission that the technology helps negotiate a “broad range of surfaces” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. “JLR seeks to protect itself and its United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund its investments in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands, Volkswagen Group owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).

Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
