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.

U.S. tariff threat hits European automakers' stocks

Thu, May 24 2018

FRANKFURT, Germany — A U.S. warning that it may introduce tariffs on foreign auto imports hit shares in German carmakers BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen on Thursday, which together have a more than 90 percent share of North America's premium car market. Washington said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into whether car and truck imports are a national security issue due to signs they had damaged the U.S. auto industry. That could lead to new U.S. tariffs — up to 25 percent — similar to those imposed on imported steel and aluminum in March. BMW and Daimler shares fell as much as 3.1 percent in early Thursday trading, while Volkswagen's dropped as much as 2.5 percent. "(U.S. President) Donald Trump is obviously not thinking about how to prevent a trade war. Import duties on cars would be a nightmare for the German auto industry and would lead to a massive sales impact," said Thomas Altmann at Frankfurt-based asset manager QC Partners. BMW on Thursday condemned the move to consider tariffs. "The BMW Group is committed to free trade worldwide. Barrier-free access to markets is therefore a key factor not only for our business model, but also for growth welfare and employment throughout the global economy," it said. Daimler, which makes Mercedes-Benz cars, and Volkswagen, which makes upmarket Audis and Porsches, were not immediately available for comment. German carmakers produced 804,000 cars at local factories in the United States and exported 657,000 German-made cars into North America last year, according to German auto industry association VDA. China took pains on Thursday to welcome German firms and investments, with Premier Li Keqiang talking up relations after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. BMW and Mercedes have expanded production capacity in the United States, but BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Daimler have also invested billions to build new factories in Mexico in the hope of selling locally produced cars into the United States. German carmakers hiked vehicle production in Mexico by 46 percent to 620,000 cars last year, while production levels inside the United States fell by 6 percent to 804,000 cars because of a shift to Mexico, according to the VDA. BMW has its biggest factory worldwide in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and is the largest vehicle exporter among all the carmakers in the United States measured by value of goods exported. More than 70 percent of BMW's U.S.-made cars are exported.

Porsche to replace chassis components in 918 Spyders

Tue, Dec 23 2014

The entire production run of the Porsche 918 Spyder is completely sold out, but 205 of them need to make a trip to the dealer for a repair estimated to take about two days. According to Porsche, it found quality problems with unspecified "chassis components" on the hybrid supercar and has instituted a plan to fix them as a precautionary measure. There were no reported breakages of these parts or complaints from customers. The German automaker already contacted all of the affected owners directly to have the 918s repaired in 2015. When reached for comment, Porsche Director of Corporate Communications Achim Schneider told Autoblog via email that "due to the supplier relationship we did not announce further details regarding the components so far." He also said that 43 vehicles are affected in North America, which includes the US and Canada. The 918 Spyder was affected by a small recall in the US earlier this year when Porsche found that the rear-axle control arms could potentially break. The campaign covered only five cars, though. Porsche replaces chassis components in 205 vehicles worldwide Atlanta. As a precautionary measure, Porsche will replace chassis components in 205 vehicles of the 918 Spyder model worldwide. The reason for this is that for vehicles that were manufactured in a certain time period defective parts were used from a delivery batch, whose functionality cannot be permanently guaranteed. No complaints have been made known (such as a break of a component) from customers up till now. The problem was identified during in-house quality inspections and remedied immediately. The owners of the vehicles, which could be exactly traced, were contacted directly by their competent Porsche representatives. The workshop visit, which will take place by appointment at the onset of 2015, takes about two days to complete at no charge.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
