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 .

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
Here's how to follow this weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans
Thu, Jun 11 2015In the pantheon of motorsports, the 24 Hours of Le Mans stands as one of the great endurance challenges to man and machine. This year's event in France already looks to be one for the ages with Porsche setting record-breaking times in practice and the competition debut of Nissan's front-engine, hybrid racer. Thankfully, there's a massive list of ways to follow this automotive attraction. Reilly Brennan, the Executive Director of the Revs Automotive Research Program at Stanford University, and a friend of Autoblog, has once again assembled a helpful couch-kit to organize many of the options. Unfortunately, the old-school way of just turning on the television might be the most frustrating way to watch Le Mans this year. Fox Sports 1 and 2 are carrying about half the race, but the coverage bounces between them seemingly at random. The broadcast begins on Fox Sports 2 at 8:30 AM Eastern ahead of the 9:00 AM start and lasts there until 12:00 PM. Things don't pick up again until 7:00 PM Eastern on Fox Sports 1 for an hour, and the channels swap back and forth more from there. The Fox Sports Go streaming app offers more, but even it stops showing the race a few times. Thankfully, streaming Le Mans is easy. If you can't dedicate 24-hours on the couch, Radio Le Mans lets you listen to audio commentary anywhere with some of the best announcers in the biz. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the governing body for the race, also offers an official video stream in an app for $9.99. For a really low-tech solution, the official Twitter is another choice. Brennan is keeping his list updated with coverage changes. You can also check out and download the spotter's guide (from Nissan) in the gallery above. Enjoy this year's race. If you miss anything, don't worry; expect a full report from Autoblog. In fact, editor-in-chief Mike Austin is attending Le Mans this year, so follow him on Twitter for on-the-fly impressions.
