Hello out there in eBay land and welcome to my auction.  For those of you that follow my auctions you know that I have more than a few fantastic 914 in the last few years.  This one is no exception and my personal favorite.  This is a 1972 1.7 liter car with low actual miles and a perfectly documented history.  An Oregon 3 owner car including myself, I found this car as a total survivor.  Zero rust and all original.  Hell hole and battery tray intact.   Wearing all of its original paint too.  The underside of this Porsche is as dry as a bone.  The lines of undercoating you see on the bottom side is factory.  It has never been touched since.  It does indeed come with the hard Targa top and it is also in excellent shape.     

Unfortunately, the paint was pretty tired and as hard as I tried to save it and keep it original I finally decided that the car was nice enough to deserve a real complete paint job.  This is no easy task if you want the job to turn out right.  The car has to be stripped of all of its chrome and bumpers and parts so that the paint can be applied without tape lines and overspray.  It is really an undertaking.  This is before you get into the actual prepping and painting of the car.  We used the exact proper color mix from the Porsche code. (Light Ivory L80E)  We also used 2 coats of base color plus a clear coat.  It is a fantastic paint job.  The car was incredibly straight to begin with so very little filler was needed.  I have included before, during and after pictures as well in my listing.  Please call if you have questions about the paint, painter, or the process.

The secret to a good restoration, or in this case a mini restoration, is to start with a solid car.  Not only was this car solid to begin with it was, is, and has always been a great running and driving car.  It is tuned and tight.  It starts instantly every time without issue.  The gearbox is as good as any I have driven.  The clutch is strong.  Suspension, brakes, steering, all great.  I have a folder on the car FILLED with thousands of dollars’ worth of receipts from years of care.

The interior is all original and still very nice.  Almost perfect!  No holes cut in the door panels factory original radio too.  Yes a standard crack in the dash pad.

The tires are new.  The wheels are Mahle and very nice.  All the gages and lights work properly.  Wipers, gas gage, blinkers, radio, heat..  Everything.

There is a custom performance exhaust on the car and it is really nice, but I am including the original for the purists as well.  I hope the picture demonstrate how nice this car is.  It is as nice as these come and was a lot of work to complete.  The winner of this auction will be happy with this car.  Bid with confidence.

 This Scout II has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation.  It is over 40 years old so if you are not used to a vehicle this old please call me and let me help you make an informed decision about a purchase and what ownership will be like. 

I am selling the 914 with a VERY LOW RESERVE and I know it will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. 

#1.  Only bid if you have intentions to buy. 

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. 

#3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback.

#4. This is an AS-IS sale.  I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees.

#5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the Porsche.  Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire.  Legitimate and legal buyers only please. 

Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase.  I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that.  Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out.  Just call me and we will work out a fair price..

2015 Porsche Cayenne S Quick Spin

Mon, May 11 2015

There are sporty SUVs, but until the Macan came along, the Porsche Cayenne was arguably the only pure definition of a 'sports SUV, a la sports car. The second-generation Cayenne is now five years old, but still looks fresh. It's handsome without obvious effort, especially with the optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels. The Cayenne S replaces the old, 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 with the brand-new, Porsche-developed 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine is quickly proliferating through the range – it powers the current Panamera S and the Macan Turbo. That former 4.8-liter started life as a 4.5-liter with 350 horsepower way back in 2002, specifically developed for the Cayenne, and to the end it remained a potent engine. We tried the new forced-induction V6 with 420 hp earlier this year in the Panamera S, and other than a soggy exhaust note it maintained the character of the former V8 sport sedan, with lusty power and hasty delivery. So, how's it do in the Cayenne? Driving Notes The Cayenne S version of the TT V6 gets 420 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. That means there's 37 more lb-ft than the previous V8, and 22 more lb-ft than in the new Panamera S. Yet the 607-pound difference in curb weight between the Panamera and Cayenne means the V6 has a heavier load to lift here. And it shows – the instant response is dulled. Stomping the right foot gets the eight-speed transmission rappelling through gears to provide a little kick, but real gumption doesn't come until the turbos kick in. We're maybe talking about a second of pause compared to the Panamera, but a noticeable second. Perhaps a small price to pay for slightly better fuel economy, if you really care about such in your 420-hp SUV. Part of why we notice that second is that the Cayenne S is so right-now everywhere else that any perceived hesitation gets extra attention. It offers a specific adjustability that many sports cars don't have, with one button adjusting the three-mode air suspension and a separate Sport button tweaking the steering, throttle, gear changes, and traction control. With Sport keeping all the horses at the ready and the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring holding things steady, you don't need to step up to the GTS trim to get immediate acceleration, crisp steering, flat cornering at very un-SUV-like speeds, and tremendous stopping power from a total of 20 brake pistons. That said, the exhaust note here could also use a shot of Bruce Banner's gamma rays.

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

Mark Webber hospitalized as Porsche takes first WEC victory, Toyota wins championship [UPDATE]

Mon, Dec 1 2014

It was a mixed bag for the Porsche team at the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo this weekend – the last race of its first season in the FIA World Endurance Championship. On the one hand, the German team took its first win since launching its LMP1 effort at the start of this season. On the other, its star driver suffered a massive crash that left him in the hospital. The crash occurred with less than half an hour to go when Mark Webber, who was running sixth in the #20 Porsche 919 Hybrid, lost control at Turn 14 at the Interlagos circuit – the same spot where he crashed his Jaguar F1 car during the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix – and crashed tail-first into the barrier. Both Webber and Matteo Cressoni (driver of the #90 Ferrari 458 Italia with which Webber collided) were evacuated to the trackside medical center and were then taken to the nearby Hospital Bandeirantes. Both were reportedly conscious throughout but are undergoing further testing, described as being in "satisfactory" condition by the FIA medical official on the scene. The occurrence of the crash so close to the end of the race, and the time it took to clear the wreckage, meant there was not enough time for a restart, so the race was completed under the safety car. But when the field did cross the finish line, it was the #14 Porsche 919 Hybrid driven by Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Mark Lieb that took the checkered flag – marking the first time that Porsche has won an endurance prototype race since 1989. Of course, that solitary victory was not enough for Porsche to take the title, which went to the Toyota TS 040 driven by former F1 drivers Sebastien Buemi and Anthony Davidson, who finished the race in second place ahead of the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro driven by the retiring Tom Kristensen and his co-pilots Lucas di Grassi and Loic Duval. Top honors for the season in LMP2 went to Sergey Zlobin for SMP Racing in the Oreca-Nissan, while Ferrari took the GT title. UPDATE: Mark Webber released the following statement on his condition: "I'm quite sore this morning, am pretty bruised and have got a stinking headache. I've got no recollection of the accident or how it happened. The team is looking into the details to find out more.
