Alaska Blue with Black interior. I will be the first to admit that I didn't fully appreciate this unique car until I saw it, inspected it and drove it. I then understood it. It is one of the most original and authentic old school Porsches I have ever worked with. It's currently owned by the second owner from new and has just under 30,000 original and documented miles on it. The paint is original, the interior looks factory fresh and everything is exactly where it ought to be. It's a clean and honest example of an early 914 and for anyone searching for this type of vehicle, it is exactly the right kind of car to seek out. This 914 was originally sold in Colorado on April 30, 1973 and stayed with that first owner until February 28, 2012 at which time it was purchased by 914 specialist, Auto Atlanta. Mileage at the time was 28,922, approximately 600 miles less than the current reading. The current owner purchased the car from Auto Atlanta in 2012 with plans of owning for the next 39 years but successive career related moves have made that impractical. It is now offered for sale and presents a unique opportunity to the right buyer. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity has been requested but 914 experts have informed me that it is further unique because it likely came without the Appearance Group. All chassis and VINs match in all locations on the car and it comes with its original manual showing the original stamps. The preliminary inspection found everything in working order. Although the inspection was done without the aid of a lift, no rust was in evidence anywhere on the car. (see additional photos by requesting link). Recent service including new tires and fuel pump has this car starting and running to perfection. And although this car will almost surely appreciate in value, it should be purchased to be driven because it is a blast to drive. It inspires confidence and brings a quick smile to anyone's face. My thanks to George and Tom and others on the 914Club forum for their guidance and 914 tutorage it is greatly appreciated. This Porsche is offered for sale under our Weissach Autohaus' Broker Services Program allowing a privately owned Porsche to be sold by Weissach Autohaus on behalf of its owner.

Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
Five cursed and haunted cars
Fri, Oct 31 2014Any kid lucky enough to grow up in Detroit is familiar with the Henry Ford Museum. It's huge, full of shiny things and a great place to take a child and let them burn off some energy. After several field trips and weekend outings however, the dusty concept vehicles and famous aircraft tend to lose their punch for youngsters. As a fifth grader, I was already gazing on the museum's many gems with glassy eyes. On yet another school trip, we made our way to John F. Kennedy's death car, a gleaming black Lincoln limo. The aging volunteer docent told our little group something I had never heard before. "You know, this car is haunted. Several employees have reported seeing a gray presence right here," he said, pointing to the back passenger side seat. I perked up. Now here was something I had never heard before. A haunted car? Sure, it happened in Goosebumps, but this was real life. It made sense, in a way. Cars can be violent, emotional places. That's certainly the case with JFK's limo, as well as the other four cars on this list. And maybe those gut-wrenching deaths can permanently doom a car. 5. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Graf & Stift Death Limo World War I tends to be a forgotten war, despite being pretty terrible in its own right and setting the stage for the entire 20th Century. The French forces, for instance, lost more lives in the first month of WWI than the US did in the entire Civil War. Everyone who has been through a freshman world history course knows the conflict started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot by a Bosnian anarchist. The crazy thing is, Ferdinand had already avoided an attempt on his life that day, and was actually on his way to the hospital to comfort those who had been injured in the crossfire. One of the would-be assassins simply walked out of a cafe and saw his intended target sitting in front of him where the open-air limo had stalled. The archduke and his wife were shot through their heads and throats. Their deaths would not be the last caused by the limo. Throughout the war and into the 1920s, the limo was owned by fifteen different people and involved in six accidents and thirteen deaths, not counting the 17 million or so killed in the war triggered by the Archduke's assassination. The first person to own the car after the Archduke was an Austrian general named Potiorek, who went insane while riding in the car through Vienna.
