Very nice condition 1974 Porsche 914. A very nice driver quality car, exterior in nice conditions with minor rock chips here and there, no real dents to speak of. It doesn't appear this has ever had any bodywork and is pretty much void of rust. Looks like it was resprayed quite well in the original color. Not sure how long ago, I would guess 20 yrs or so. The gloss on the hood has faded, but is not peeling anywhere. The interiors of the front and rear trunk have only minor very light surface rust here and there. To be expected of a car that is 40 years old. The 914 shows that it has been garaged throughout its life. This is an originally fuel injected 1.8 liter. It has been had the 1.8 liter heads replaced with the 2.0 heads. I just removed the fuel injection system last fall and installed the dual empi set up. The fuel injection system was running well at time of removal and is included in the sale. I am a carburetor guy, so I wanted something that I could work on. FI could be reinstalled with no problems. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Brakes work well, tires have plenty of tread, but are older. If I were to keep car, I would likely replace them. The key is starting to wear in the ignition as well, something I would probably replace in the future. Sometime it turns right away, sometimes it takes several tries. Interior is in very nice condition. A couple of cracks shown on the drivers seat on entry side only. Passenger is excellent. Dash has a couple of minor cracks as shown. I just replaced the interior carpet and there was no rust under the original. Headliner is in excellent condition and shows no wear. All glass is in good condition with no cracks, I believe there is a small rock chip in windshield. The doors shut perfectly with no sag. The rear trunk lid latches and closes better than any new car! Front closes perfect with no sag in the springs. This is an overall very nice car for 40 years old! It is not a show car by any means, just one that has been taken care of very well and enjoyed thoroughly! I welcome pre purchase inspections if you should choose to want to look at it in person. New outdoor car cover included ($300) Shipping is buyers responsibility, I will be flexible with shipping if you choose that option. It will need to be picked up within 7 days of auction end. If you pay with paypal, all paypal fees will be added to purchase price. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end, full payment due within 5 days. Vehicle runs well, sold as is.

For additional pics, send question and I will supply a link to my photo bucket account. Ebay does not apparently allow links in their descriptions...

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Ruf RGT 4.2 offers 518 hp of naturally aspirated power

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Ruf has a reputation for building some fast interpretations of the Porsche 911, and the company's latest RGT 4.2 at the Geneva Motor Show provides an interesting point of comparison compared to the new GT3 RS that's debuting there. In terms of pure power, the Ruf wins out. The company crafts a flat six with 4.2-liters of displacement making 518 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a top speed of 200 miles per hour. In contrast, the latest GT3 RS gets 500 ponies and 338 lb-ft of twist from its direct-injected 4.0-liter mill. Depending on your desires, the RGT 4.2 might have the preferred gearbox too with its six-speed manual versus the Porsche's PDK. Styling is also going to come down to personal tastes between these two. The RGT 4.2 has an almost old-school racing look with its bolted-on fender flares, five-spoke wheels, thick carbon fiber rear wing and lower front air dam. Inside, there's also an integrated roll cage. The RS, on the contrary, appears thoroughly modern with its big fender intakes at the back, slashes just behind the front wheels, CFRP hood and magnesium roof. Check out Ruf's naturally aspirated monster on the Geneva show floor in the gallery, above. The RGT 4.2 maintains a long tradition of Ruf supercars with its outrageous driving performance. Unveiled in 2000, the first RGT was characterised by its powerful, torquey normally-aspirated flat-six engine. With a significantly reduced all-up weight and sports-oriented suspension system, the RGT was an extremely impressive driving machine.Now, in 2015, the RGT remains true its original concept, though its external appearance is clearly more athletic. The wheel arches are more bulbous and the front facade presents huge round air intakes for more effective cooling. The chassis is reinforced by RUF's hallmark Integrated Roll Cage (IRC). Propulsion is provided by its virile 4.2-litre six-cylinder, normally-aspirated engine, developing 525bhp and 500Nm of torque, featuring dry sump lubrication with external oil tank. A proper driving machine for sure POWER 525 PS / 386 kW @ 8.370/min TORQUE 500 Nm @ 5.820/min DISPLACEMENT 4178ccm TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual gearbox TOP SPEED 322 km/h FUEL CONSUMPTION urban 19,8 l/100km non-urban 9,8l/100km combined 13,6 l/100km CO2 emissions 317g/km Effizienzklasse G Related Video:

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.
