Here is a very nice driver quality 914.  You do not see many of these on the road and this is definitely a great looker.  Let me start off by saying this is not a perfect 914 or a 10k plus vehicle.  This is a local car show vs. a barrett jackson vehicle.  From ten feet the car looks new but I have photographed a couple bubbles on the front fender and the door jam.  It runs absolutely perfect.  The interior is about as nice as you will find.  All electrical works including the clock and interior lights.  There is one small crack on the dash right below stereo.  If you look you can see in the photo.


It has the electronic fuel injection, you turn the key to prime for five seconds then start.  As mentioned this vehicle is whisper quiet and shifts fantastic.  It has the normal shifting oddities of older porsches.  It was repainted the original zambezi green, you can see all the original tags, new rims and tires.  Engine bay very clean as is the upfront tire compartment.  The hellhole, battery tray etc...has some minor rust.  The actual engine is nearly spotless.  The battery tray could be replaced but still holds the battery.  With these 914s it is always important to check the closing of the doors etc...with windows up and down as this is how you can tell the stability of frame etc...Targa top is excellent and seals perfect.  Drives straight and smooth.  Bumpers/rubber is perfect, no fading.

I also have a stack of receipts dating back to 1979 for this car.  Again, not a showstopper but a very nice driver that will provide years and years of enjoyment.  The odometer has stopped working but title shows actual mileage at 80992.  I only drive this car in fair weather so I barely put miles on it.  I am selling a couple of my older vehicles to fund the restoration of my 1958 356a.  This is an inexpensive top off cruiser that gets more looks than a 40k car for almost a tenth of the price.  Where else can you get such a unique vehicle for such a small price.  If you are looking for a perfect vehicle, it is not for you.  If you are looking for a great driving classic that is fun to cruise town or head to dinner in, this is it.  Any questions let me know.

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good

Thu, Jan 23 2014

Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

2014 Porsche Panamera Diesel is something to torque about

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Porsche has been in the business of slaying sacred cows for the better part of a decade, from venturing into the SUV space with the Cayenne to the four-door realm with its Panamera hatchback. And if those vehicles didn't leave brand purists apoplectic enough, Porsche has been adding diesel and hybrid power to its portfolio, thought to this point, neither alt-fuel motivator has made its way into the brand's sports car lineup.
Today's Frankfurt Motor Show effectively marks the second-generation of diesel power in the Panamera, and this updated 3.0-liter V6 features 300 horsepower (50 ponies more than last year) and a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque, available from 2,500 rpm. That power is achieved with a new higher-pressure, water-cooled turbo and redesigned engine internals that include a new crankshaft and pistons. The newfound increase is said to raise top speed to 161 miles per hour from 152, and drop the car's 0-62 mph time from 6.8 seconds down to 6.0. It also figures to be a better handler, with a new torque-vectoring rear differential borrowed from its gas-powered brethren and a reworked transmission for crisper shifts. The suspension has also been retuned, along with the updated 2014 visuals first revealed at April's Shanghai Motor Show.
No word yet on the North American sales prospects of this diesel Panamera, but we imagine that depends in part on how well the Cayenne diesel is selling.

Porsche planning new 911 Speedster as 550 tribute

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Some look at the emergence of a new Porsche 911 and see a car. But to Porsche engineers, it might as well be a reset button. Because every time a new 911 comes out, it sets off a tidal wave of new variants to follow, including convertibles, turbos, targas, GT3s... the works.
The next down the pipeline, though, could be one of the most desirable. That, according to German publication Auto Bild, will be a new 911 Speedster. When it arrives early in 2015, the special roadster will reportedly be limited to just 550 examples in tribute to the original 550 Spyder.
It'll reportedly have hidden door handles, a chopped-down windshield and a fabric top to be used only in case of emergency, manually disappearing below a carbon-fiber cowling. All of which makes it sounds as much like a bigger version of the Boxster Spyder as a successor to the last 911 Speedster (pictured above), and that's no bad thing at all.
