1975 PORSCHE 914

NO RESERVE !

THIS CAR IS MY SON'S CAR SO HERE IS HIS DESCRIPTION

HERE IS MY PORSCHE. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER. THE 914 WAS MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE CAR AND WHEN THIS ONE CAME UP LOCALLY I JUMPED AT IT. EVEN THOUGH I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE EXCITED, CRAMMING MY 6'3" 215 POUND FRAME INTO IT EVERYDAY HAS BECOME MORE IMPRACTICAL THEN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. (SEE PICTURE) .... SO NOW IT HAS TO GO. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE JEEP YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO GO WITH NO RESERVE. HIGH BIDDER DRIVES IT HOME!

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE SECOND OWNER. WHEN HE STARTED HIS FAMILY HE DIDN'T DRIVE IT MUCH SO WHEN I CAME ALONG IT NEEDED A FEW THINGS TO MAKE IT MY DAILY DRIVER. SO I PUT BRAND NEW TIRES, A FULL TUNE UP. ALL FLUIDS ARE ON SCHEDULE.  I ALSO DECIDED TO HAVE THE SHIFT LINKAGE TOTALLY REBUILT AND SO NOW IT SHIFTS LIKE FACTORY FRESH! I ALSO HAD TO HAVE A NEW GENERATOR INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR. SO AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW, IT IS A VERY RELIABLE DAILY DRIVER! YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME. IT DOES HAVE A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT IT HAD WHEN I GOT IT. IT HASN'T GOTTEN ANY WORSE. IT LEAVES ABOUT A QUARTER SIZE DROP WHEN I PARK IT OVERNIGHT. WHETHER I LEAVE IT SITTING FOR 1 DAY OR A FEW DAYS IT'S STILL THE SAME SIZE DROP. 

THIS 914 DRIVES GREAT. IT IS COLD BLOODED SO I START IT AND LET IT WARM UP BEFORE I TAKE OFF. THE CLUTCH IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WITH ALL THE NEW GASKETS FOR THE SHIFT LINKAGE (INCLUDING THE ONE FOR THE FIREWALL INSTALLED PROPERLY) IT SHIFTS SMOOTH AND TRUE. THE CAR HANDLES EXCELLENT! ESPECIALLY WITH THE BRAND NEW TIRES. BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL. I DO HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND RECEIPTS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNERS ALONG WITH THE MANUAL.

I DO HAVE TWO TOPS FOR THE CAR. ONE HAS RACKS SCREWED INTO IT FOR RECREATION .... BIKES, SURFBOARDS, OR EVEN A CHRISTMAS TREE. 

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A RARE BLUE CAR FROM THE FACTORY. IT WAS COLOR CHANGED TO BURGUNDY AND THEN THE LAST OWNER PAINTED IT METALLIC GREEN. 

I AM NOT A COLLECTOR OR A PORSCHE EXPERT. I BOUGHT IT JUST BECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN ONE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME BY AND CHECK IT OUT OR SEND SOMEONE TO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE AREA. 

PLEASE BE AWARE I AM NOT A DEALER. THIS IS AN AS IS WHERE IS AUCTION. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED NOR IMPLIED. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE NOTES UNDER PAYMENTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE THE CLOSE OF AUCTION.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
