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.

Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.

Coronavirus prompts VW to stop production throughout Europe

Tue, Mar 17 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest carmaker, is suspending production at factories across Europe as the coronavirus pandemic hits sales and disrupts supply chains, the company said on Tuesday. The German carmaker, which owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda brands, also said that uncertainty about the fallout from coronavirus meant it was impossible to give forecasts for its performance this year. "Given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants, production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group brands," Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday. Volkswagen's powerful works council concluded it was not possible for workers to maintain a safe distance from each other to prevent contagion and recommended a suspension of production at its factories from Friday. Production will be halted at VW's Spanish plants, in Setubal in Portugal, Bratislava in Slovakia and at the Lamborghini and Ducati plants in Italy before the end of this week, Diess said. Most of its other German and European factories will prepare to suspend production, probably for two to three weeks, while Audi said separately it would halt output at its plants in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. Volkswagen's vast factories in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Puebla, Mexico, and plants in Brazil were not affected, but that would depend on how the coronavirus spreads, VW said. Volkswagen has 124 production sites worldwide of which 72 are in Europe, with 28 in Germany alone. "2020 will be a very difficult year. The coronavirus pandemic presents us with unknown operational and financial challenges. At the same time, there are concerns about sustained economic impacts," Diess said. Â Production in China resumes Volkswagen Group sold 10.96 million vehicles last year, putting it ahead of Toyota based on the latest figures from the Japanese carmaker. Globally, VW employs 671,000 people and it delivered 4.86 million vehicles to European customers in 2019. Only last month the car and truck maker based in Wolfsburg, Germany, predicted that vehicle deliveries this year would match 2019 sales and forecast an operating return on sales in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. "The spread of coronavirus is currently impacting the global economy. It is uncertain how severely or for how long this will also affect the Volkswagen Group.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.
