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.

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! |

Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show
Wed, Oct 7 2015We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid
Fri, Nov 7 2014The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."

Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US
Wed, 15 Oct 2014The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.
