1975 Porsche 914 2.0 Appearance Group Factory Fuel Injection on 2040-cars
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States

Rare car in this condition. As you are more than aware these 914's were driven hard for many years and for the most part thrashed. So to find one in this excellent condition is very rare. The car was painted fire engine red before I owned her and paint is still very shiny and clean. The targa top and sides were also painted all vinyl has been removed. I have owned her for over 21 years and when purchased in 1993 had dual carbs on it. Of course California has smog issues, so by 1997 the carbs had to go and the motor had a lot of miles on it. I was told rather than start trying to fix the issues, it was much better to just replace the entire motor with a factory fuel injection 2.0 motor. This motor was done by someone still in business and well respected in the porsche community George Vellios in Gardena CA. Motor is very strong and now has approx 1800 miles on the new motor. When the motor was done, so was the ball socket @ transmission. Then new tires front and back, and all front end parts, bushings, shocks, brakes and the exhaust system complete from motor to catalytic converter and chrome pipe. Car has been one of many cars in my stable. I have owned and still own 6 cars, corvettes, muscle cars and several classics. This car was NEVER raced, or driven fast or hard, because I have always had faster muscle cars, so this car was truly admired and babied. 2000-2007 car mostly sat in the garage at my home or at my warehouse at my office. The car had been driven monthly to car shows or to the beach, to keep it nimble. 2007 I had knee surgery and from that point on it was much more difficult to drive the stick. 2007 I ran out of room in California for cars, so I trailered it to my home in Lake Havasu, AZ, summer home to be stored in the garage right next to the boat. Occasionally I would drive it to car shows in Lake Havasu or just local cruises when the weather was cooler. Of course like any car that sits around, when you start to drive it, being almost 40 years old, it started to need things and because I am not a mechanic and have never worked on the car myself, I had to find a trusted Porsche mechanic in Lake Havasu, so I started asking around. I found well respected and well known Porsche mechanic Matt Adragna, who has been working on Porsches FOR EVER and rarely didnt have a Porsche or two in the garage at his home that he was working on for his friends too. 4/2010 - took to Matts shop, where he did a complete oil change, tune up with cap, rotor, wires, points condenser kit, new plugs, adjusted valves, replaced rocker cover gaskets, set timing, replaced fuel lines for cross over., vacuum lines, fuel hoses, throttle position switch, ECU from reputable company called BRAG. He renewed all grounds and made it run right. 12/2013 - Car needed to get more work done on it and found Mark Tuttle, who has been working on Porsches for over 40 years. He took the car and really went through it. Actually while doing the work, he had several offers on the car to buy it, but nobody came up to bat with a true real price to get it. Mark rebushed the pedal clusters, replaced the clutch cable and had a "special" sheath put over the cable to prevent the cable from rubbing and shearing the cable. A reputable guy named Gerhardt (not sure of spelling) came from northern California on the way to visit family in Arizona, stopped on christmas break to install the sheath. New fuel pump was replaced, as well as the throttle body, oil cooler gaskets and cold start injector. A new battery was added as well. Hell holes were punch tested, and I have a lot of pictures I can send of the inside of the car, seats, dash, trunk, under the car, engine areas etc. Car is now ready for someone to come enjoy it. All parts are on it. Cars needs very little, but to make it a #1 car this is what is needed that I am aware of. Targa rubber seal that is on top of windshield and rubber around windows. It does have 1 spot of rust just starting to appear under windshield trim, directly under the wiper blade Will need a stitch on 1 small spot on the drivers seat, 1 small spot on the passenger door. This is by far one of the nicest 914 2.0 cars I have ever seen, including the ones I have seen at Barrett Jackson or Meccum auctions going for BIG BUCKS. Hagerty rates #2 car $19,000 - $20,000. |

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
