Portland, Oregon, United States

I bought this car as a incredibly clean and well cared for 914. As you know these cars were not well loved in most cases, and discarded as not collectables in the past. But in recent times these cars are highly sought after, if in collector condition. With the rise of value of the early long hood 911's fastly approaching over $100k, collector 914's are a real bargain. This car was owned by a longtime 914 follower, and was part of a group of 914's he had, I was able to convince him to sell me the car to restore to its current condition, because, I too LOVE these little Porsches. This car was in excellent running condition and had recently had all the drivetrain and suspension gone through, so really all it needed to be restored was the cosmetics and paint. Right away I had the cars exterior and interior dissasembled to be prepped for paint. It was an easy car to get painted because it had very little bumps and bruises on the exterior, just the original optional Silver Metallic L96D paint was faded and had to polish left to it. While it was out for paint I ordered almost every seal for the body and Targa top. The interior was in great condition except for a couple spots where the seat bottoms had some stress cracks. So I had a new seat material replaced, and ordered RS America door cards from Appbiz to give the interior a great look. The original interior door parts come with the car as well, plus all the hardware that was replaced. The Targa Top was completly redone with all new seal and door window seals and wipers. I spent several thousand and parts suppliers like Sierra Madre and Pelican Parts. Also brand new door handles for both sides were installed. All the trunk and bonnet seals were replaced as well. After the car came back from paint, it was wet sanded and polished to perfection. The hell hole battery tray area is in great condition, only repair spot I found on the car was in the rear trunk area where a section of metal was replaced. It is a solid repair that will not give the new owner any issues. Other upgrades on this car are the very popular Rivera wheels that have been restored and look great with this 914 stance. The tires have lots of life left and drive down the road with no vibrations or wandering. The prior owner had done the back date to this car with the more popular chrome bumpers and impact strips. That is what makes this car so cool, to get the latest and best 914 motor and the early 914 look. To finish of the car Porsche script was added to the side profile and a offset vinyl stripe to hood and deck lid, that could be removed easily if the buyer wanted, but I love it! I am sure I am missing other things we did to the car, what I do the winner of this No Reserve Auction will be very happy. Please call Josh 503 475 8078 or Matt 503 819 9007 for details Prior inspections are welcome, and winning bid it is a commitment to purchase Good luck

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 13 2015Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.
