1975 Porsche 914 2.0 Appearance Group Factory Fuel Injection on 2040-cars
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States
|
Rare car in this condition. As you are more than aware these 914's were driven hard for many years and for the most part thrashed. So to find one in this excellent condition is very rare. The car was painted fire engine red before I owned her and paint is still very shiny and clean. The targa top and sides were also painted all vinyl has been removed. I have owned her for over 21 years and when purchased in 1993 had dual carbs on it. Of course California has smog issues, so by 1997 the carbs had to go and the motor had a lot of miles on it. I was told rather than start trying to fix the issues, it was much better to just replace the entire motor with a factory fuel injection 2.0 motor. This motor was done by someone still in business and well respected in the porsche community George Vellios in Gardena CA. Motor is very strong and now has approx 1800 miles on the new motor. When the motor was done, so was the ball socket @ transmission. Then new tires front and back, and all front end parts, bushings, shocks, brakes and the exhaust system complete from motor to catalytic converter and chrome pipe. Car has been one of many cars in my stable. I have owned and still own 6 cars, corvettes, muscle cars and several classics. This car was NEVER raced, or driven fast or hard, because I have always had faster muscle cars, so this car was truly admired and babied. 2000-2007 car mostly sat in the garage at my home or at my warehouse at my office. The car had been driven monthly to car shows or to the beach, to keep it nimble. 2007 I had knee surgery and from that point on it was much more difficult to drive the stick. 2007 I ran out of room in California for cars, so I trailered it to my home in Lake Havasu, AZ, summer home to be stored in the garage right next to the boat. Occasionally I would drive it to car shows in Lake Havasu or just local cruises when the weather was cooler. Of course like any car that sits around, when you start to drive it, being almost 40 years old, it started to need things and because I am not a mechanic and have never worked on the car myself, I had to find a trusted Porsche mechanic in Lake Havasu, so I started asking around. I found well respected and well known Porsche mechanic Matt Adragna, who has been working on Porsches FOR EVER and rarely didnt have a Porsche or two in the garage at his home that he was working on for his friends too. 4/2010 - took to Matts shop, where he did a complete oil change, tune up with cap, rotor, wires, points condenser kit, new plugs, adjusted valves, replaced rocker cover gaskets, set timing, replaced fuel lines for cross over., vacuum lines, fuel hoses, throttle position switch, ECU from reputable company called BRAG. He renewed all grounds and made it run right. 12/2013 - Car needed to get more work done on it and found Mark Tuttle, who has been working on Porsches for over 40 years. He took the car and really went through it. Actually while doing the work, he had several offers on the car to buy it, but nobody came up to bat with a true real price to get it. Mark rebushed the pedal clusters, replaced the clutch cable and had a "special" sheath put over the cable to prevent the cable from rubbing and shearing the cable. A reputable guy named Gerhardt (not sure of spelling) came from northern California on the way to visit family in Arizona, stopped on christmas break to install the sheath. New fuel pump was replaced, as well as the throttle body, oil cooler gaskets and cold start injector. A new battery was added as well. Hell holes were punch tested, and I have a lot of pictures I can send of the inside of the car, seats, dash, trunk, under the car, engine areas etc. Car is now ready for someone to come enjoy it. All parts are on it. Cars needs very little, but to make it a #1 car this is what is needed that I am aware of. Targa rubber seal that is on top of windshield and rubber around windows. It does have 1 spot of rust just starting to appear under windshield trim, directly under the wiper blade Will need a stitch on 1 small spot on the drivers seat, 1 small spot on the passenger door. This is by far one of the nicest 914 2.0 cars I have ever seen, including the ones I have seen at Barrett Jackson or Meccum auctions going for BIG BUCKS. Hagerty rates #2 car $19,000 - $20,000. |

Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.
