For sale is an All-Original 1975 Porsche 914 1.8 Liter California Car in Forest Green with Tan Vinyl Interior.  The car was sold in California and spent it's life from 1975 to 2004 in Desert south of San Francisco. It has the little EGR Light in Dashboard.  I have a copy of the California Title.  I also have the pair of original Blue & Yellow California License Plates that stay with the car for the life of the car while it is in California.  I purchased in 2004 and it has been garage kept in Pennsylvania.


The car is essentially corrosion free.  The paint and Interior are all original and as such I have not touched either at all.  It has all it's scratches, dings, dents, and tears from its years of use as a daily driver in California.. Someone installed an aftermarket car stereo but I have the Original AM/FM Factory Radio.  They installed speakers in the door panels but this is easily repaired.

I have gone through the car mechanically and rebuilt the entire rear undercarriage. Rear CV Joints/ New CV Joint Boots, Rear Hub Bearings (replacing these is a job hence most 914s have worn out rear hub bearings and make alot of noise at speed).  The shocks are Bilsteins, the new Coil springs are the stock units from George Hussey at 914 Atlanta.  New Flexible Brake Lines, Rotors, Rebuilt Calipers , Pads.

New Bursch Exhaust System. (as close to stock as available), new Bosch Starter, Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers, New Clutch Cable, New Throttle Cable.  Brand New Michelins on the original Mahle Gas Burner Mags.

New Master Cylinder., New Gas Pedal NOS from 914 Atlanta. Lots of NOS Porsche replacement parts in this car !

The Engine has been gone through. New Push Rod Tubes, Valve Job.  The L-Jetronic Fuel Injection system has been completely gone through by a german car fuel injection professional with new Bosch Fuel Injectors installed, Numerous new Bosch L-jet Fuel Injection parts throughout. ( I have a whole box of NOS Bosch Service items for the Bosch L-jetronic including injectors , sensors, air regulator, etc not included in the sale of this car but available for sale).  The engine starts easily and idles nicely even in the cold. I had the car out two weeks ago for the photos and it ran beautifully.

There is Zero Corrosion in Battery Tray area.  I have removed lead acid battery and installed a GEL Cell unit.

Up front I changed out wheel bearings and brake pads.  The rotors were excellent so I lturned them and left them in place.  Had I kept the car another season I was planning on finishing off the undercarriage with two front Bilstein shocks, 2 Porsche lower Balljoints, a Turbo-TireRod End Kit..  These are the only items that I can see being done to completely finish off the undercarriage rebuild.  Otherwise this car runs like it was when it was new.  The Rack and Pinion unit is very tight.  Believe me, if it needed it I would have put one in.  Underneith the car has  everything is as it was from the factory... no missing deflectors, heat shields, access covers... it's all Correct.

Last Summer I completely rebuilt the steering column.  Porsche 914 people will know about this.  old 914s tend to have sloppy steering wheels due to wear of the column bearings.  I removed the wheel and installed NOS Porsche Turn signal Lever switch, High Beam Dimmer switch, the White Plastic Ignition switch, and New Column Bearings.... The steering wheel is factory tight with all new switches.  See the Photos

If you're looking for an A1 all original Car all complete and ready to enjoy driving this is your car.  If you gotta have a 1973-74 2.0 liter car than you're gonna pay twice as much for a car in this condition.

I've restored 6 of these cars over the past 20 years or so.  If you have any questions please dont hesitate to email.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.

Watch a Porsche 918 Spyder being built by hand

Sat, Jan 3 2015

No music track, no dialogue, no voiceover, just a group of women and men in a very clean room in Zuffenhausen assembling the Porsche 918 Spyder. It's the antidote to the adrenaline that the open-topped hybrid coupe encourages in most enthusiast bloodstreams, but this nearly-11-minute video is the most captivating B-roll we've seen in a while. From hand-sewn leather to hand-wrapped trim, monococques being wheeled about, the copious use of shims and the rear brace being fitted over the engine, plus the Christmas-like joy of opening a box of body panels, it's all in there. You can't buy a new one anymore, but you can see how they're built for those who did buy them in the video above.

Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.
