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.

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Tue, 11 Nov 2014In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some 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.
2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets faster, more powerful [w/video]
Tue, Jan 13 2015Porsche just isn't letting development of the Cayenne Turbo S cease. The 2014 edition was unveiled at last year's Detroit Auto Show boasting 550 horsepower from the brand's 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and it could hit 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds to a 175 mph top speed. Those seemed like very impressive specs for an SUV, but only a year later, the German brand has revealed an even more powerful take on its flagship trim in the model lineup. The 2015 Cayenne Turbo S now makes 562 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from the same V8. The key to seeing such a significant boost in grunt so quickly is that the two turbos are now integral and are located directly in the exhaust manifolds. Porsche's eight-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox still routes power to all four wheels. All of the tweaks let the SUV hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and a 176 mph to speed. Stopping should come quite rapidly too thanks to 16.5-inch diameter ceramic brake discs up front with 10-piston calipers. Of course, the Cayenne needs to be able to put that added grunt to good use. Porsche claims that the model can lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:59.74. Comparatively, the 550-hp Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR previously touted its SUV 'Ring lap record with a circuit in 8:14 in 2014. The Turbo S doesn't try hard to show off its added prowess, though. Up front, the bumper and undersides of the door mirrors are done in high-gloss black paint. Meanwhile, the roof spoiler and wheel arches are body color. The 21-inch wheels with black edges provide a little flash, and LED headlights are standard. The interior should be comfy too with black and creme leather and carbon fiber accents. The whole package rings up for $157,300, plus $995 destination and delivery, and US deliveries start in late April. Check it out in Porsche's video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

The new Cayenne Turbo S The top athlete among SUVs At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche is also introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S – the top model of the sporty SUV model series. Its re-engineered 4.8-liter V8 biturbo engine now develops 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 ft lb) of torque. A chassis that is tuned for maximum driving dynamics and packs a wide range of control systems also makes the Cayenne Turbo S a genuine top athlete.
