I have been restoring Porsche 911's and 914's for about 12 years now and know a good project from a nightmare.  This is a good project car.  The 914's are becoming more valuable so if you can do a reasonable part of this project yourself you can actually come out on the plus side instead of the typical upside down projects.  These Porsche are super easy to work on and assemble compared to a 911.  Parts are readily available as well as lots of help from enthusiasts in places like 914world.com, 914club.com and Pelicanparts.com.  I bought this stalled project car from the previous owner thinking I would get to reassembly by this winter.  Pair a body shop that cannot find the time to get to it with my other 4 project cars not moving as fast as I would like and I realize that I will not get to this for quite some time.  
The previous owner bought this low mileage 914 totally intact and original in 2011.  He soon after discovered some rust and decided to take on the repairs himself. He disassembled everything to be sure no rust was missed.  He fixed the infamous hell hole, right longitudinal, the inner left rear quarter panel and inner front left wheel well in the rear outer corner.  He cut the rear left quarter off because for easier to access to the inner quarter wall and because he intended to add GT flares.  The project pretty much stalled there and I picked it up about 6 months ago.  As you can see in the pictures the rear quarter panel and a piece he removed from the front fender need to be put back in place as well as a piece of the floor pan.  This will be a quick fix for someone that knows how to weld.  The battery tray is included and will have to be welded in place as well.  The car includes just about everything you need to put it back together. From what I have noticed it is missing the dash top pad and the rear window.  Front windshield Is there and I believe new.  The engine is complete with the original fuel injection with computer with harness.  The trans is 5 speed and still mounted to the engine. The balance of the body is in remarkably good condition with no rust in the front or rear trunks. The targa top is solid. The rear taillights are pretty decent but one will need to be glued back together.  The original bumpers are included as are some nice parts that the previous owner collected. Most items are shown in the pictures.  At the buy it now price I will include some earlier chrome bumpers and a rear fiberglass lower valance and new set of stainless steel fuel lines. 
The car and parts are located in Kenilworth, New Jersey and can be seen Monday - Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:30 PM.  I will assist if you want to ship this car. I can have it delivered within 50 miles of Kenilworth but car must be paid for before I load it up on a trailer.
I think I have covered it but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks and Happy Bidding!


THIS WAS INCORRECTLY LISTED AS A 1973.  IT IS A 1976.

Porsche to expand range, Ferrari fighter a possibility

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Porsche has something new on the way; not just the Cayman GT4 or 911 GT3 RS from the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, but a completely different, seventh model line. Unfortunately, the company is keeping mum about what exactly it has on the way. Porsche chairman Matthias Muller (pictured above) snuck the announcement into his speech during the brand's recent press conference. "For example, in the not too distant future we will present a seventh model series. But I am not yet able to tell you exactly when this will happen. There are already promising plans, but no board decision yet." Separately, Muller also indicated that the brand didn't want to set targets too far beyond 2018, which hints when this new vehicle might be unveiled. To lend one more possible clue, the boss said, "the high-speed high-tech laboratory of the 919 Hybrid will benefit all our future vehicles." With the absence of any more facts, speculation is filling the vacuum. Bloomberg posits that this could be Porsche's rumored competitors against Ferrari or Tesla. An electric model is rumored for 2019 with up to 600 horsepower and 300-mile range. "Tesla has built an exceptional car," Muller said, according to Bloomberg. "They have a very pragmatic approach and set the standard, where we have to follow up now." The model could also be the once-confirmed and reportedly-canceled Ferrari challenger to slot between the top 560-hp 911 Turbo S and sold-out, 887-hp 918 Spyder. There is a hole in the lineup in that niche with the latest Ferrari 488 GTB making 661 hp. Of course, there's also the already-spied Pajun four-door as yet another possibility. It's also rumored to hit the market in 2019. Although, some speculation postulates that that this smaller vehicle and the Tesla competitor are actually the same thing. Show full PR text Matthias Muller ? Annual Press Conference 2015 ? March 13, 2015 Ladies and gentlemen, After looking at business year 2014 in detail, I would now like to put my focus on 2015 and the medium-term future. The new business year started extremely well for Porsche. We were able to follow up on the success of the previous year with good delivery figures. By the end of February, we had already delivered 31,000 new vehicles to our customers worldwide. This is approximately a third more than the first two months of 2014. These figures are particularly pleasing because the global environment has not improved and is anything but easy.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.

Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
