1976 Porsche 914 2.0L
Options, Extras, and Vehicle Condition
If you are reading this ad, you probably already know that the 914's are rapidly increasing in value, following the
same path as the 356 and earlier 911 models to rooftop price levels as everyone seems to appreciate these
"high-quality-build, last-of-the air-cooled" Porsches. With the 914-6's becoming further from reach in price, the
Limited Edition 914-4's and 1976 models are second only to the 6 in collectability and bring some of the highest
prices to date (and climbing). The 1976 models in particular are very valuable because they were the last of the
breed, being the last and least produced of all the 4-cylinder 914's, AND they had all of the factory improvements
developed by Porsche over the years of 914 testing and production. No 1976 model was ever made in the year 1976,
with the last 914 ever built in December of 1975. This particular specimen is a November 1975 production car
(11/75), and one of the last 914's ever built. The car came with two options from the factory: tinted glass and
center seat cushion (see full list below and window sticker in pictures above).
This 914 certainly qualifies as one of the most collectible and if kept in current condition, will skyrocket in
value in the future. One of the best colors ever offered by Porsche (L97b), and with only 53,413 miles, this car
shows those miles extremely well with an impeccable interior and body, totally ORIGINAL engine compartment, and
immaculate front and rear trunks. In addition, the spare is the factory original that has never hit the ground. The
tool kit is original and complete, the owner's manual and cover are in the glove box, comes with all four (4)
original keys, and also the original factory window sticker and a file 3 in. thick of service records, original
delivery materials, Ziebart rustproof materials, and much more (please review all pics at the bottom of listing).
The previous owners even kept the three sets of points, distributor cap, original condenser, as well as the
original rotors over the years! (Unfortunately, we did not receive these items, so they do not come with the car).
The body is absolutely RUST FREE, and its rare ORIGINAL Anacona Blue paint is in superb condition. The car has been
carefully maintained since new with only 53,413 ORIGINAL miles on the clock (documented). We have only put 400 or
so extremely enjoyable miles on her. Due to collectibility and miles being an obvious issue, we have stopped
driving the car on a regular basis, although it is on a trickle charger and is started regularly and taken around
the block just to keep the fluids flowing properly.

CONDITION DETAILS
BODY
The body is as original as one would want, never rusted, never wrecked and with at least 95% of the original
finish. There are a few other items or "defects" on the exterior of the car that are noted here below:
1) The car had stick-on side molding and negative side stripes installed early on in its life (these both have
since been removed (the car when sold new or shortly thereafter received a "protective" amount of body side
molding, which was very popular back then prior to paintless dent removal)). Because of time and the nature of
adhesives back then, there is slight etching where the molding once was. We have not tried wet sanding or anything
of that nature in fear of tampering with the car's original exterior. It is not at all a detractor to the car and
is barely noticeable but needs disclosure.
2) The car had a front bra during its early life. There are very small water spots (white in color) on the front
bonnet from the condensation underneath. This is also an area that wet sanding or another procedure could possibly
work fine. We have decided to keep the car as original as possible and since it's hardly noticeable, we decided not
to pursue any paint ot body work whatsoever. The paint is so good on the car, we have been told it should never,
ever be painted on, so we have heeded respected advice here.
MECHANICAL
The car starts instantly, and runs and drives excellently. Clutch and transmission shifts smoothly and
effortlessly. Mechanically, she's just as nice. Serviced all the way by Auto Atlanta, and was in the owner's
personal collection. The steering wheels is ORIGINAL and crack free and the interior has been meticulously
maintained. No cracks in the dash, no tears, rips or splits in the seats.
The car comes with:
Original Porsche Tool Kit
All ORIGINAL Extra Keys (4) including Valet key
Ownership History (All unedited documents/originals will be included)
Service Records (Extensive maintenance records)
Owner's/Warranty Manuals (Complete)
Original Window Sticker and all delivery materials

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Daughter has great taste, gives stepdad Porsche 914 of his youth

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that. Whether it's the time to watch a baseball game or the money just to get there, parents have to give up something for the betterment of their offspring. Of course, once a child grows up, it's finally possible to repay mom and dad for all of their hard work. In the case of Kristin Russell and her stepdad, Dave, that involves a surprise 1973 Porsche 914.
Before he got married, Dave had a sweet, white 914. He even had the money saved up to restore it, but spent the cash on the wedding instead. The Porsche languished in the garage until Dave eventually parted it out and sold it off. Years later, Russell wanted to do something to thank her stepdad for all of the things he had done for her and her mom. The only fitting thank you was an identical 914 to the one that he gave up. Scroll down to watch Dave's reaction of getting his dream car as a surprise Father's Day gift.

Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX

Sat, 14 Sep 2013

Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
