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.

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding.

Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.

Volkswagen posts quarterly profit despite drop in sales

Thu, Oct 29 2020

Volkswagen returned to profit in the third quarter as surging Chinese demand for luxury cars helped offset a 1.1% drop in vehicle deliveries due to the pandemic, sending its shares as much as 3% higher on Thursday. The German automaker's return to the black comes amid spiking coronavirus cases in Europe that led governments in France and Germany to order their countries back into strict national lockdowns on Wednesday. "The coronavirus remains a central problem," Volkswagen Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter said in a conference call with reporters. "This situation now is anything but relaxed." But Witter said the group expected the economic recovery to continue and did "not anticipate any nationwide lockdowns in larger markets." Witter said the takeover of U.S. truck maker Navistar International by Volkswagen's trucking unit Traton was an important acquisition, but the "current economic climate will not make this easy." Volkswagen reiterated it expects to post a profit for the full year, saying its business "recovered noticeably" in the third quarter as sales in China of premium vehicles, including Audi and Porsche sports cars, rose 3%. The quarterly performance was also aided by a series of cost-cutting measures launched earlier this year. Volkswagen said its net liquidity rose to 24.8 billion euros from 18.7 billion at the end of the second quarter. Excluding one-time items, third-quarter operating profit was 3.2 billion euros ($3.8 billion), down from 4.8 billion euros a year earlier, but up from a second quarter loss of 1.7 billion. In a note to clients, Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois described the results as a "solid performance with strong cash, but relatively muted in the context of the (auto) sector recovery." Last week, German rival Daimler reported a record 24% jump in Chinese demand for its Mercedes-Benz cars, boosting its margins in the third quarter. Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot manufacturer PSA Group both also posted solid results this week. Witter said Volkswagen could not say for sure whether it would meet EU CO2 emissions targets this year, adding "it will be a tough race." At 1030 GMT, Volkswagen shares were up 2.9% at 129.20 euros.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A 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.
