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. |

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 24 Feb 2014I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
