I bought this car as a incredibly clean and well cared for 914. As you know these cars were not well loved in most cases, and discarded as not collectables in the past. But in recent times these cars are highly sought after, if in collector condition. With the rise of value of the early long hood 911's fastly approaching over $100k, collector 914's are a real bargain. This car was owned by a longtime 914 follower, and was part of a group of 914's he had, I was able to convince him to sell me the car to restore to its current condition, because, I too LOVE these little Porsches. This car was in excellent running condition and had recently had all the drivetrain and suspension gone through, so really all it needed to be restored was the cosmetics and paint. Right away I had the cars exterior and interior dissasembled to be prepped for paint. It was an easy car to get painted because it had very little bumps and bruises on the exterior, just the original optional Silver Metallic L96D paint was faded and had to polish left to it. While it was out for paint I ordered almost every seal for the body and Targa top. The interior was in great condition except for a couple spots where the seat bottoms had some stress cracks. So I had a new seat material replaced, and ordered RS America door cards from Appbiz to give the interior a great look. The original interior door parts come with the car as well, plus all the hardware that was replaced. The Targa Top was completly redone with all new seal and door window seals and wipers. I spent several thousand and parts suppliers like Sierra Madre and Pelican Parts. Also brand new door handles for both sides were installed. All the trunk and bonnet seals were replaced as well. After the car came back from paint, it was wet sanded and polished to perfection. The hell hole battery tray area is in great condition, only repair spot I found on the car was in the rear trunk area where a section of metal was replaced. It is a solid repair that will not give the new owner any issues. Other upgrades on this car are the very popular Rivera wheels that have been restored and look great with this 914 stance. The tires have lots of life left and drive down the road with no vibrations or wandering. The prior owner had done the back date to this car with the more popular chrome bumpers and impact strips. That is what makes this car so cool, to get the latest and best 914 motor and the early 914 look. To finish of the car Porsche script was added to the side profile and a offset vinyl stripe to hood and deck lid, that could be removed easily if the buyer wanted, but I love it! I am sure I am missing other things we did to the car, what I do the winner of this No Reserve Auction will be very happy. Please call Josh 503 475 8078 or Matt 503 819 9007 for details Prior inspections are welcome, and winning bid it is a commitment to purchase Good luck

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip
Fri, 27 Jun 2014We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.
