This is a great and rare 914-6 that has been in California most if not all of its life. Originally a black example as evidenced by the "80" stamped into Karmann doorsill tag, and no evidence of another color in jams or seems. Its first owner was the owner/founder of Hubbard's European in Eureka, CA. He sold it to current owner in 1986 when $ was needed. It was maintained and serviced by Hubbard's until 2012 when his widow brought it down to San Diego after he passed and told her "to please never sell it." Well, the time has come unfortunately for it to find a new home and someone who hopefully will restore it and bring it back to near 100%. The Good: We believe that the engine (# 6404835) is the original that it left Germany with. I had a local air-cooled specialist here in San Diego check it out and said, "if i was a betting man in Vegas, i would bet some good $ that it is." I however cannot guarantee that since i do not have the COA, yet. I ordered it 5 days ago. It handles and drives with ease, however the engine could use a good tune and the carbs re-built. I have driven it probably 150 miles in the last 10-12 days. Factory optioned 'Sport' Drivers Seat. Although the car originally started off as "Ivory", it shows no evidence of the paint and the current Black was done very well as you cannot see Ivory anywhere, and no evidence of prior accident damage. Has the original jack in the trunk. Floorpans have no holes, only light surface orange. Tachometer and Speedometer work. Most, if not all service records/receipts from 1986 to current. Brake calipers front & rear were just re-built with new rotors ($3,000). New fuel pressure regulator 2 weeks ago ($150). It is currently registered in California with California title in-hand. Recent Compression Test Results: #1: 110psi #2: 100psi #3: 120psi #4: 90psi #5: 90psi #6: 70psi The Less Good: Surface rusting, and light to moderate rust around front windshield seals. Not through the panels though, so that is good. Steering wheel not original. Nakamichi cassette radio not original. Black is not the original paint color. "GT" fenders are fiberglass and not original, but are high-quality as the gaps are consistent. Wheels are Mags that were popular in the late '70's and '80's but are not original. The front hood wont' open as of about 5 days ago. The cable must have snapped (good thing i got a photo of the front boot before that occurred.) Odometer is not functioning and is stuck at 33,xxx miles and has been since 1989. It was not driven much however, so I am placing the approximate mileage at about 50,000-70,000 miles max. I tried to be as thorough as possible. If you have any questions, please e-mail me and i will do my best do answer. Thank you for viewing! Brent Stone Auto Consulting On Jun-19-15 at 07:11:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Correction: Color Code "80" is Silver, not Ivory. Again, no evidence of the car being Silver.On Jun-22-15 at 12:24:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I just got off the phone with Porsche's COA department and they confirmed that the current engine #6404835 IS the original engine. So yes, it IS matching numbers.

Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO

Fri, Sep 25 2015

While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.

Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.

Petrolicious studies the purity of a Porsche 911 2.7 RS

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Water-cooled Porsches are superior to the old, air-cooled models. This really isn't up for debate, despite the mob of Porsche purists, with pitchforks and torches in hand, currently descending on the Autoblog offices. Water-cooled models are more powerful and easier to live with, two factors that make modern Porsches just so darn amazing.
And while we won't hear arguments on anything we've written above, we will say that the old air-cooled models, while not superior, are just, somehow, better. They sound better - a lot better. They're simple, elemental and wildly entertaining things, that just beg for more and more. They rev in a way that forces drivers to work to unlock their power, rather than just push their right foot down. Part of the appeal of air-cooled Porsches, in addition to what we just listed, are the gorgeous cars they're slotted into, like the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious.
Starring a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, this video is a bit shorter than recent ones, but it's no less exciting. This 911, complete with it's sweet-sounding exhaust is the kind of simple, entertaining thing we can watch over and over. Scroll down for the full video.
