January 1970 marked the entrance to the the US market of the Porsche 914. Anyone who has driven a 914 never forgets it; those who have not MUST do so ....When 914 production ended in 1976 the replacements got heavier and more complex. The mid engine layout, a low center of gravity and legendary 911 Porsche suspension made the 914 much more than the sum of it's parts. When in Production Racing competition, the 914 was so good, there was no real viable competition and most cried "unfair"... even today, a modern Mazda Miata is not really up to the task on the track. This car offered now, was produced in 4/1970, and has covered a low 36,892 miles. It still looks brand new. The underside has full factory undercoating, topside and interior has original finishes and materials, and all body rubber is like new. Truly a "Time Capsule" car. (Please refer to the photographs). In the course of examining this car and bringing it back to life, the classic repairs such as shift bushings, fuel hoses, injector seals, brake lines and other critical items were replaced. Our Porsche qualified technician noted that the injectors and wiring looked like new, just needing hoses and seals. The engine was not cleaned, leaving a very slight coating in the engine sump area to clearly show the very low original miles. Summary -One owner (original California pink slip) -New tires (came with original tires) -Original owners manual (Like new) -Complete tools (Very nice!) -Both original front and rear "blue and yellow" license plates verifies it's California heritage since new -All the spare parts (coil, fuses, wiper blades, etc) in the trunk is what the owner left in the car from the early eighties The car was according to our technically oriented investigation, used sparingly from 1970 to approximately 1984, than stored properly from that point. We brought it back to complete operating status, but it is far too nice to run hard at the racetrack.....The color combination, mileage and condition dictate a future of limited use, or museum status. If you have any questions call Evan at 310-594-4224 or email. Shipping can be arranged worldwide. Thanks for looking!

Porsche names new motorsport chief
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Though it may have expanded into crossovers and sedans, Porsche is still a company with racing at its heart. You might even argue that Cayenne and Panamera sales only serve to fund the company's motorsports activities. Competition-spec 911 coupes still make up a large portion of the grid in any GT racing series, and those activities are presided over by the Porsche GT division (separate from its LMP1 program), which has just announced a changing of the guard.
Porsche's GT unit - which is responsible both for racing models like the 911 RSR and road-going models like the 911 GT3 - has until now been steered by Hartmut Kristen (pictured above, left) in his capacity as Vice President of Motorsport at Porsche AG. During his ten-year tenure, Kristen gave birth to the RS Spyder that competed in the American Le Mans Series and the pioneering 911 GT3 R Hybrid. He also fostered what Porsche characterizes as "arguably the most comprehensive youth development program in motor racing" and saw the marque return to Le Mans last year with a dominant 1-2 class victory.
Kristen, now 59 years old, is leaving the German automaker, but will remain an advisor to the company's R&D department. Taking over as VP of Motorsport will be Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, who has until now been head of the 918 Spyder project (a responsibility he will continue). Walliser (pictured above, right) was previously Porsche's general manager for motorsport strategies and will now be responsible for Porsche's GT projects on and off the track, while Fritz Enzinger continues at the helm of the LMP1 program in pursuit of better results next year than the 919 Hybrid achieved at Le Mans last month.
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
