1973 Porsche 914 1.7 Fuel Injected Signal Orange Appearance Group HelloeBayers! Welcome to my auction. Today I have a great find for those of youinterested in getting a super nice and clean RUST FREE 914 with super loworiginal miles. I bought this car out ofdry storage. It was tucked away in aclean and dry garage where it had been for many years. The previous owner had purchased the car fromthis Porsche’s original owner with the hopes of doing a few of the mechanicalfixes it needed along with some cosmetic needs. He had always wanted a Signal Orange 914. Unfortunately, life got in the way of hisdreams and the car just sat. When I foundthe car it was not in running condition, but a total survivor. 70,450 original miles too! Factory Fuel Injection still intact. Factory engine and transmission too. The gas had gone bad and all the injectorswere gummed up. The original paint hadsome primed areas where prior dings had been repaired, but never painted. The interior was very nice, but the driver’sseat cushion was torn. Even at thisstage though, I could tell that this was a fantastic find. The car was/is as dry as any I haveseen. The floors are original andperfect and rust free as are the hell hole areas. The period correct Italian Murretti wheelseven had the original center caps.. Iwish I could find cars like this more often.. Afterpurchasing the 914 I had it towed to my shop where we removed the gas tank, hadit scoured and sealed. We then removedall the injectors and sent them out to be rebuilt. Next we went to work on the obvious.. We adjusted the valves and replaced the gaskets.We also replaced the spark plugs with new oldstock 70s BOSH plugs and a distributorcap. We flushed the oil in the engine aswell and filled again with Mobil One Synthetic. Once thework was complete, we installed the tank and injectors and started the car. It fired instantly and after a moment of coughing,ran like a Swiss watch… Okay, Germanmore likely.. This Porsche is all there. It looks great, it drives great. I have done everything that this car needed.. Cosmetically and mechanically.. This car is totally ready to enjoy. If you havewatched my previous auctions I have had many 914s over the last couple ofyears.. All super nice cars.. None of them however, have run this well. The engine is tight and powerful. It does not smoke, it does not leak. It has no issues at all. The transmission is the side-shifter type andI am serious when I say that there is a huge difference in how these preformcompared to the tail style. It is alsotight like new. All of the bushings arestrong, all of the syncros are perfect (up and down).. Put it this way.. You don’t have to have an intimaterelationship with this car in order to drive it properly.. Those of you that have owned vintage Porschesknow what I’m talking aboutJ This car hasit all. A Signal Orange finish, all thechrome accents and touches of sport that made up the appearance group, virgindoor panels, and fog lights too.. Forthe purists out there, I can’t call the car a survivor because I had to do somepaintwork to the car but this car was not restored.. It has always been super nice and loved. The factorycolor is Signal Orange (L20E) and although a partial repaint, the work isexcellent and in the exact proper factory shade. I had the work done by a shop that has alwaysdone the best work and this car is no exception. The work is top quality on the matching andany blends. I waxed it by hand and it istotally worthy of covered transport. Iwish I could find this color more often. It is my all-time favorite color for vintage Porsches. The car is laser straight. There is no sign of previous damage or filleranywhere. This car is NOT a barn findmade road worthy again. It has beencared for and garaged for its entire life, just barely driven. The hell holes are good and solid. The original floor pans are intact and theylook excellent from the top and bottom. Thefloor is as dry as can be. The bumpersare perfect. There are no dings, dentsor flaking. There is some wear andweathering on the foam rubber tops of the bumpers but nothing I would bedisappointed with. The interioris also top notch. No stains in thecarpet. No rips or tears in theupholstery. No excuses at all. I took out the seats and photographed thefloors and they are factory perfect. Thedoor panels are perfect and there are no cut speaker holes. Theblinkers, the wipers, and brake lights and pop up headlights all work properly. The fog lights and horn are not working atthis time but I will have them figured out before auction end. All the pieces are there.. The top fitssnuggly and is also very nice I know thisdescription is getting a bit long, but if you want to know more on the carplease call. I speak Porsche enthusiast andI don’t mind doing it. I am happy toshow this car with an appointment as well. I am settingthe reserve very low and I know the 914 will sell the first go around as longas we all play by these rules. #1.

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.

Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.
