Porsche 914 is quickly becoming a classic collector car . For many years it was overlooked and not really excepted as a true Porsche. Because of its cost when sold, it was also overlooked
The price was so close to the 911 s selling at the same time , people just turned their head. And bought the 911 s . The 914 really had a hard time from the beginning. With all the trouble between the 2 companies building it. Porsche design and VW assembly. And even cost involved with that . And them a middle man company, Karman Gia .... Building all the chassis . It was just a very difficult collaboration from the beginning . Now today . " the 914 " WOW !!!! What a fun little car. I have been around them for over thirty years. I have owned over 30 914 cars . This car is a true survivor, third owner car from northern California. It has never been restored, it has been repainted and I re did the seats, door panels, some seals, doors R/L truck seals and a new windshield and seals . I also back dated the bumpers to 1972. I think this look is so much nicer. I have the 1974 bumpers and they will be included in the sale of the car . You can see them in the pictures posted. You see the car has a momo steering wheel . (IT IS NOT PART OF THE SALE) . I have the stock wheel . And have put it back in the car . Dash has a small crack that starts just in front of the drivers view over the dash . It goes down to the windshield . The car is still fuel injected, and shows 32.975 on the dash, I am sure the chassis has 132,975 Car runs very well. And can be considered a daily driver . No rust, all the normal places the 914 has problems are ok . Nothing under the battery tray. And both left and right side longs are solid . Car just had a four wheel brake job new rotors pads . And service Plugs , wires , cap rotor, air filter , oil , Timing and valve adjust . This is a solid car that will only go up in value over time . This is great example the the porsche 914 and the buyer will not have any remorse . I would love to keep this one, but I am involved in another 914 project, right now. So this car needs to find a great home . A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due 24 hours after auction ends and full payment is due in 72 hours. After auction ends . This is a as is sale .

Volkswagen taps Porsche chief for board
Mon, Feb 23 2015Matthias Mueller was promoted to the top position at Porsche in 2010 after a successful stint of developing model lines during his 36 years with the company, mainly at Audi. Having shown the same prowess while overseeing Porsche for the past five years, German outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Mueller will be promoted to the management board of the Volkswagen Group, according to a leaked copy of an agenda for the meeting. It's said that a new spot is being created for him, one that will put him in charge of "overseeing cooperation" among Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche. While other group executives are known to hold positions on the board and with brands, or across brands, it isn't clear yet whether Mueller will keep his spot at the CEO of Porsche after the promotion. One thing that is certain is the 61-year-old Mueller doesn't see himself in line for Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn's job in 2016, having told FAZ this month, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen."

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
