1975 Porsche 914 2.0 Fuel Injected Justin 503-969-5127 Hello
eBay! Thanks for checking out my
listing. Those of you that follow me
know that I have a thing for the 914s.
Yes, I am a fan. I know all the
great and all the bad and all the in between too. Some purists and enthusiasts out there will
not like this car because of some of the changes made. I understand and apologize up front for
this. Please hold back you scornful
comments I know this car well and am going to present it EXACTLY as it is. This is a
1974 Porsche 914 2.0 with its factory installed GA code engine and fuel
injection. The car is matching numbers;
Chassis, Engine, and Transmission. The
car has recently been repainted in its original L13K Summer Yellow. I believe this is the cars 3rd
paint job as somewhere back down the road it was painted Berber Yellow L11D. This color is still seen under the rear trunk
lid. I don’t know who did this or why it
happened. The paint on the car now is
really nice. The car looks fantastic,
but there are several changes from original that I would like to point out. The sail material has been deleted. Also the targa top has been finished smooth
and painted to match the body color. The
brake calipers have also been painted to match.
The Porsche graphic was also added.
Both the trunks have been covered in line X or some such material. I can tell that a panel was repaired in the
rear trunk. Presumably from rust, the
material may have been used to cover the repair. The front looks original so maybe they
sprayed there to just match them. I don’t
know for sure. The floor boards have
also been sprayed from the top side. Underneath
looks pretty good so again I am not sure of all the reasons for the changes I
can just report on the condition. The battery
was also relocated to a spot in the rear trunk.
This was a popular decision in the past as the trays would rust from the
acid in the battery and beneath that is the “Hell Hole” the Achilles’s heel of 914s..
This one looks fine. What would happen
is the battery would leak and then rust this area that is part of the suspension
of the car. The worry of this caused
many to relocate the battery as prevention.
I think that
the cosmetic condition will impress anybody when they consider the age of the
car and also the value. If you know
yourself to be a perfectionist and are always striving for this please
understand that this car is not there.
It is nice and could be shown at cruise inns, but it is not a show car. The interior
is very clean and tidy. The seats are
supple and the proper basketweave. The
carpet is nice and bright and clean. The
dash’s cracks are limited to 3 and are not bothersome or unsightly. The wipers and heat and blinkers and
headlights all work properly. The miles
show 17,915 and I believe them to be over the mechanical limits once. Both seats don’t have the adjustment loops
anymore but can easily be moved by pressing the underside release. The engine
starts easily and runs strong. It drips
about a dime size drip every few days.
It never smokes or knocks or has difficulties. The 2.0 is the favored 4 cylinder of these
cars for many reasons, but the performance is the reason for me. I would go so far as to say it’s actually torquey. The later cars, like this one, also have the
advantage of the side shifter transmission.
They are far superior to the tail shift version. This one has an easy time with all of the gears
and all the syncros match perfectly. The
clutch is also very tight and has the perfect 1’’ of freeplay at the top. The wheels
are beautiful and original there is no curb rash or scars or bends. The tires are fair.. Tires are inexpensive and would be the first
expense I would lavish on this car if I were to keep it. So, what
else does the car need? What would I
do?? I have lots of ideas.. Everyone’s tastes are different. The car is nice as it is.. The good thing is the car is mechanically
sound and solid. It also looks
great. I am a purest and a guy that
thinks that originality is key. I would
replace the sail material because I like that look. I would blast off the line x material from
the trunks and finish them in the proper color.
In this step I would also replace the factory battery tray and put in an
Optima battery (they never leak).. I would
source a second top in black and switch them out depending on my mood, and I
would buy a set of Pirelli P4s.. Down
the line I might back date the bumpers to chrome.. There are lots of options with this
car.. Its either a great driver as it is
or a great start to something fantastic.
BOTH MAYBE!! It’s up to the new
owner. I am selling
the Porsche with a LOW RESERVE and I know the little car will sell the first go
around as long as we all play by these rules.

Porsche expects to hit 200k sales target 3 years early
Fri, Jan 9 2015When Porsche launched the Cayenne, enthusiasts and purists – in between fits of rage – rationalized the SUVs existence by imagining that the money it brought in would guarantee the company's continued ability to produce the many beloved versions of its 911. The same was said when the Panamera arrived, and again when the Macan was unveiled. What probably wasn't imagined when these three more mainstream vehicles joined the Porsche catalog, was how dramatic an impact they'd have on the company's sales figures. The company expects 2015 to be a banner year, as it aims to hit a 200,000-unit sales goal three years ahead of schedule. Porsche sold nearly 190,000 units in 2014, a gain of 17 percent over 2013, while its year-over-year sales for December were up 39 percent. Considering Porsche made these gains before the full impact of the new Macan could be felt, it's no wonder the company is so keen on 2015. Porsche has already moved 45,000 Macans, which would be impressive on its own, were it not for the way the CUV is elevating the brand. According to a report from Reuters, two-thirds of the company's Macan deliveries have been to first-time Porsche customers. Considering these two facts, it will be extremely interesting to see the impact Porsche's newest model has on its sales over a full calendar year.
2022 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance Mega Gallery | The show in pictures
Mon, May 23 2022COMO, Italy — Held annually, the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance is, in many ways, Europe's version of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It takes place in a beautiful location, and it brings together an impressive selection of rare and valuable cars. It's a real treat for the eyes, the ears, and, if you're into champagne, the palate. The 2022 edition of the show was no exception: About 50 cars were shipped to Lake Como from over a dozen countries, and it wasn't just the usual suspects. Sure, there were a lot of pre-war cars (including a couple of one-off models), but some of the icons that younger enthusiasts grew up with (like the Lamborghini Countach) were present as well. This year's event was split into eight categories: The Art Deco Era of Motor Car Design, The Supercharged Mercedes-Benz, How Grand Entrances Were Once Made, Eight Decades of Ferrari Represented in Eight Icons, "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday," BMW's M Cars and Their Ancestors, Pioneers That Chased the Magic 300 KPH, And a design award for concept and prototypes. The jury gave the coveted "best of show" award to a 1937 Bugatti 57 S owned by Andrew Picker of Monaco, while the aforementioned classes were won by, respectively: The Bugatti 57 S, shown below, A 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet, A 1956 Chrysler Boano Coupe Speciale, A 1966 Ferrari 356 P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti, A 1961 Porsche 356 B Carrera Abarth GTL, A 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, A 1989 Porsche 959 Sport, And the Bugatti Bolide concept unveiled in 2020. Winning at Villa d'Este is a big deal: The cars are judged by a panel of highly experienced judges. No one gave me a scoring sheet, presumably out of fear that I'd award points to the late-model Fiat 600 lurking in the parking lot, but several cars that didn't win an award caught my eye. One is a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, a grand-prix racer that was once owned by King Leopold III of Belgium and that has never been restored — its patina is inimitable. Another is a 1961 BMW 700 RS. One of two built (the other is in the BMW collection), it's a tiny, ultra-light roadster related to the 700 and powered by a 697-cubic-centimeter air-cooled flat-twin tuned to develop 70 horsepower. It won several hill-climb events during the 1960s, and it's one of the rarest cars ever to wear a BMW roundel. Aston Martin's freshly-restored 1979 Bulldog concept was cool to see as well; check out the cassette player integrated into the headliner!
Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
