This is a No Reserve Auction. High bidder will own this car. If you bid, you need to be prepared to pay for the car. If you plan to bid on this auction and have less then 5 feedbacks or any negative feedback, you need to contact me prior to bidding or I will remove your bid. Check your funds, ask your wife, arrange for storage or garage space, and make all necessary arrangements now, not after you already won the auction. I usually end auctions early so only bid if you have the money and want to buy this car. I doubt I will let this auction run until the last minute. This is a no Reserve Auction. Please read the entire description before bidding or asking questions. Up for auction is a 1974 Porsche 914. It has the 1.8 liter engine and 5 speed transmission. This 914 is loaded with Factory Air Conditioning, Appearance group with fog lights and console gauges, Fuchs Wheels and Anza Exhaust. This Classic 914 was recently found after sitting for almost 10 years. I used to have one of these back in the day and picked this up thinking I would restore it but recently, I have come to the conclusion that I have way too many projects already and I know I will never get to it so I am hoping someone will give this the love it deserves. Glass All of the glass is in good shape. The windows roll up and down properly. The door latches work properly and both doors open from the inside and outside handles. Interior The interior is complete and very nice. The door panels are in very good shape and not torn or ripped. The dash is in nice condition. There are a few small cracks but it is still soft and pliable. All the gauges are in good shape too. The seats are in very nice shape too. The center console and the vinyl behind the seats and between them is nice too. The carpet is in good condition too. The steering wheel, shift boot, etc. are all in good shape. Luckily, this interior was protected from the sun. Body The body is very straight and there are no signs of any major collisions. The floors are solid. The front trunk is solid. The rear trunk area has some rust where the tail light panel meets the trunk floor but not bad and the trunk floor is solid although it looks rusty, most of what you see is surface rust and looks worse in the pictures then it really is. The doors are very solid. There is a small rust bubble on the front bottom of the passenger door. The quarter panels and fenders are solid. The hood hinges must have had some problem and it looks like someone tried to force it up and bent a small section of the cowl on the drivers side. The hinges and springs were removed and are included. The front edge of the sheet metal where the front of the hood would close is a bit torn. It looks like someone tried to maybe tow if from there? Should not be a difficult fix. The rear trunk hinges work and are in place but will need to be adjusted as it doesn't close quite right. The truck lock sticks a bit too. The doors open and close properly and and the door handles open from the inside and outside properly and the doors line up nicely. All the door gaps are nice and the doors close solid. There is a spot of rust on the top of the drivers side quarter panel next to the door. There is a section on the rear trunk lid, front hood and right rear quarter panel where it had some bondo and it is coming off. It was touched up with paint to keep it from rusting. Top The targa top is in very nice shape and fits well. Trunk Drivetrain The Engine and Transmission look to be original to the car. I have not touched it other then seeing if it would turn over. The engine is free and turns over with a jump start. The engine still has oil in it and the oil looks good. The car was converted to a weber carburetor in the past. The clutch pedal feels good and the transmission seems to go into all 5 gears and reverse. The Anza exhaust looks good and the heat exchanger's look good too. Wheels/Tires The car has the rare factory option Fuchs Wheels. They are in really nice shape with no curb rash and will polish up to be beautiful. The tires are in good shape with lots of tread left and are all holding air and roll fine. The spare is also a Fuchs wheel and is in good shape too. Floors
Under Carriage
Overall, this is a complete 914 that looks like it was well maintained prior to being parked and with a bit of work, will be a great car and just needs someone that is looking to give it the love it deserves. It should be restored and returned to its former glory. Finding one that is complete and unmolested is getting harder. This car could be very nice with some work and a nice paint job. The odometer is reading 68,000 and the car looks too nice for the odometer to have turned over but I can not be sure. The seats, dash, carpets and door panels do not show the wear associated with higher mileage. The mileage is likely correct and the title reflects this car being of actual mileage but it is best to say that the True mileage is unknown. There are a bunch of extra parts in a box in the trunk and a workshop manual, etc. It comes with a clear title. See the You Tube videos I have been into classic cars for over 30 years. I have done my best to describe this car. Please ask questions before bidding. A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours after auction ends. Full payment due within 3 days after auction ends. If you can not meet this payment schedule, please do not bid. Buyer is responsible for transporting. I will assist if I can. Don't miss this one. All my items are sold As-Is. No returns or refunds. See my feedback and bid with confidence. I reserve the right to end this auction early and sell to the highest bidder so bid early and bid to win. The Car is also listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I reserve the right to cancel any bid. The car is located in Silver Spring, Maryland (Suburbs of Washington, DC) This is on the East Coast of the USA. I am willing to assist with shipping in the USA or Worldwide. It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the shipping. The car and title will not be released until I have payment in full. The Port of Baltimore is less then one hour from me. I have shipped other cars in the past to several places in Europe. Thanks for your interest and good luck. This is a No Reserve Auction so the High Bidder is going to get this car! |

2015 24 Hours of Le Mans live race report
Sat, Jun 13 2015Check back regularly for more race updates every few hours. No, you don't need to stay up for the entire 24 Hours of Le Mans, but if you want to catch any of the action, Autoblog friend Reilly Brennan has a handy guide. And to keep you up to speed on the latest race events, we'll be posting live from Le Mans with regular race reports.Hour 1: Five laps in, Audi breaks up the three Porsches at the front, with the #19 919 Hybrid, driven by Nico Hulkenburg, passed by all three R18s. Hulkenburg eventually took back fifth position only to fall back again after the first pit stop. Meanwhile, clutch trouble kept the #23 Nissan GTR-LM in the pits until 15 minutes into the race. The other two Nissans were forced to start at the back of the grid after failing to the meet the 110 percent qualifying speed regulation. At the end of the first hour, just 7.5 seconds separated the first six cars. Then the factory team #92 Porsche GTE car caught fire, with the the #13 Rebellion P1 car taking frontal damage in the ensuing carnage. With the safety car out, the field is once again bunched up.Hour 2: The slugfest between Audi and Porsche continues, with neither side backing off. Halfway through the second hour the #7 R18 passes both leading Porsches for the top position. After another round of pits stops Porsche regains the lead until lap 30, when the Audi overtake once again and quickly pulls out a three-second gap. Nico Hulkenburg passes the other two Audis to join his Porsche teammates. At the beginning of the third hour it's Audi #7, Porsche #17, #18, and #19, followed by Audi #8 and #9. 33 seconds separates this group, with Toyota a minute back from the front car.Hour 3: On track the action refuses to stop. Although it's early, Audi is looking strong with the overall lead in the #7. What's more is that the Audis run four stints per set of tires, while the Porsche cars have to change rubber every third stop. But after a quick refueling, the lead R18 gets a tire puncture and comes back in 3 laps later, allowing Porsche to take over the top two spots. Then as the hour closes out a yellow flag causes traffic to bunch up and the #8 Audi gets stuck with nowhere to slow down. Driver Loic Duval dives for the side of the road but hits the guard rail and careens across the track, damaging the front and rear bodywork. The rest of the car is still intact, though, and once in the pits Audi replaces the entire front and rear of that in only three minutes.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
