1976 Porsche 914 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l Targa on 2040-cars
Vero Beach, Florida, United States
|
This 38yr.old beauty has been a cherished part of our family for the past 38 years. I’m only the second owner of this Porsche, having purchased it in March of 1981. It has been garaged for my entire ownership. The car underwent a complete restoration 24 years ago, with a couple of minor ones in the past 12 years to ensure the quality of the car. It was a daily driver and a weekend SCCA slalom racer, then following the restoration a sunny Sunday car with historic plates and limited mileage. I decided to make it a driver’s car with upgrades that would enhance the driving experience, as opposed to a 100% OEM Original car as would have left the factory in 1976.
My age and car storage issues are the only reasons for the reluctant sale of this little gem.
All receipts are available for all the major servicing for the past 38 years, including the original Owner’s Manual and Original Window Sales Sticker! I have been a Porsche Club of America since purchasing the 914. This organization has been a terrific resource for maintaining and enjoying the very best the 914 has to offer. The car has only been driven 30,821 miles since the full restoration. Here is a partial list of all the many things done to the car over the years:
Complete bare metal body restoration and Guards Red repaint New carpet replacement, including both front and rear trunks Koenig Racing Bucket Seats Factory Center Console with Temp, Oil and Pressure gauges Alpine/Polk Stereo System with front trunk mounted subwoofer Weber carburetor conversion Rebuilt engine with slight overbore cylinder liners and larger pistons Lightened flywheel Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers Reinforced Battery Tray with Battery Cutoff Switch Monza Exhaust Epsilon 3-pc. Modular Wheels with Goodyear GT+4 tires Koni Shocks Automotion front and rear Sway Bars and suspension bushings Rebuilt Pedal box with Delrin Bushings New fuel pump New metal fuel line New gearshift kit Re-built Alternator Factory Front Spoiler Rear 916 Spoiler Electronic trunk release Comes with nose bra and car cover
The car recently had an engine tune-up and runs beautifully. I would heartily invite any inspection and scrutiny of the 914 and would encourage a serious buyer or their agent to come and see and drive the car. The Porsche is also advertised elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end this eBay listing if the car sells locally.
A $500.00 PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of the winning bid. Following the receipt of deposit, buyer must contact me for the terms of the balance owed via a mutually agreed payment method. Car is located in Vero Beach, Florida. I could possibly assist with transportation arrangements, but buyer collection of the car is much preferred. Please email with any further questions or inquiries.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
2012 TechArt Porsche 911 is visually dazzling, both inside and out
Wed, 07 Mar 2012One way to ensure that your brand-new Porsche 911 (a.k.a. 991) won't look like the one in your neighbor's driveway is to give TechArt a call. The famed German tuner has rolled out its version of the latest Carrera and Carrera S at the Geneva Motor Show and trust us, it won't be mistaken for anything from the factory in Stuttgart.
Up front, TechArt has fitted its own unique two-part spoiler with integrated splitter while more aggressive side skirts adorn the rocker panels. The rear has a new lower diffuser, wrapped around the TechArt exhaust, and a large fixed rear wing (complete with an integrated third brake light). Look more closely to notice the subtle trim panels on the exterior mirrors and front headlights. The wheels are lightweight forged 20- and 21-inch alloys with matching paint on their rims.
Inside the heavily modified cabin are even more drastic enhancements (let's say TechArt has gone over the top). Don't let the aluminum pedals be a distraction as you inspect the black Alcantara and high-grade leather covering nearly every square inch. Flirting with gaudy, the dark upholstery is contrasted by vehicle-color-coordinated stitching and painted trim splashed throughout. However, the icing on the cake is an insanely thick TechArt three-spoke sports steering wheel.
Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
