Up for auction is a 1976 Porsche 914 2.0L that has gone through a complete restoration to make it the beauty you see today. In the past this car was used as a show car for local car club meets and events. No expense was spared during the professional restoration of this 914 (With 1200 hours and over $25,000 in receipts). The motor is the original 2.0L that has been completely rebuilt making it a 2.45L, stock crank with 103mm pistons and dual Weber carbs feeding it. The paint on the car looks great with no major imperfections to speak of. This car was originally red from the factory. The front and rear bumpers are both in good condition with some wear showing to both. The sails and top have both been painted to match the body. All the glass looks great with the exception of the windshield having a small 5" crack at the top passenger side. The interior has been finished in red and gray which looks great! The dash and center console are both in red with red stitching which gives the car a very rich, elegant look. Both seats are in good condition with minimal wear showing. All gauges are in good working order as well as all lights, blinkers, wipers and horn. Also has power windows, power antenna and a 12 disc CD changer. The shifter and steering wheel are both made by MOMO. The car has, an Omni Pack, mild performance cam, SS heat exchangers, Burshch exhaust and a performance air dam. The motor runs great and is a blast to drive. Recently installed is a new voltage regulator, ignition, axle boots, starter and both carbs rebuilt and tuned. It's a great road runner and will out corner anything on the road. According to the VIN number this was the 350th to the last 914 ever made. This car has gone through a complete tear down and rebuild with every nut and bolt being replaced. (literally) only 18,518 miles since then.This car has always been garaged and has no rust. There is a small area near the dirvers handle with a bit of raised up paint and a couple of spots where a touch up paint pin was used.

Also in the auction I am throwing in some extra parts: New clutch and accelerator cables, voltage regulator, oil screen gasket, carburetor brackets and gaskets.

I will also throw in my Haynes manual, custom Porsche key fob with light up key, original black key and red valet key and an extra key I had made. Also, I will send the original sales brochure (from 1976), owners manual, a 914 magazine article and my red diecast mini car (nice touch for the workbench). Reasonable reserve. Good Luck!

The buyer is responsible for the cost and set up for any shipping, but I can assist with meeting with a car delivery driver if needed. Or dropping off at a port if shipping overseas (San Francisco area). All paperwork and fees are the responsibility of the buyer. No drop off or possession will be granted untill all funds have cleared.

Buyer to pay 500.00 deposit within 48 hours from end of auction using Paypal. Full payment due within 7 days.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash Â— Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche Â— and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles Â— the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?

Tue, Feb 23 2016

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:
