1976 Porsche 914 2.0L
Options, Extras, and Vehicle Condition
If you are reading this ad, you probably already know that the 914's are rapidly increasing in value, following the
same path as the 356 and earlier 911 models to rooftop price levels as everyone seems to appreciate these
"high-quality-build, last-of-the air-cooled" Porsches. With the 914-6's becoming further from reach in price, the
Limited Edition 914-4's and 1976 models are second only to the 6 in collectability and bring some of the highest
prices to date (and climbing). The 1976 models in particular are very valuable because they were the last of the
breed, being the last and least produced of all the 4-cylinder 914's, AND they had all of the factory improvements
developed by Porsche over the years of 914 testing and production. No 1976 model was ever made in the year 1976,
with the last 914 ever built in December of 1975. This particular specimen is a November 1975 production car
(11/75), and one of the last 914's ever built. The car came with two options from the factory: tinted glass and
center seat cushion (see full list below and window sticker in pictures above).
This 914 certainly qualifies as one of the most collectible and if kept in current condition, will skyrocket in
value in the future. One of the best colors ever offered by Porsche (L97b), and with only 53,413 miles, this car
shows those miles extremely well with an impeccable interior and body, totally ORIGINAL engine compartment, and
immaculate front and rear trunks. In addition, the spare is the factory original that has never hit the ground. The
tool kit is original and complete, the owner's manual and cover are in the glove box, comes with all four (4)
original keys, and also the original factory window sticker and a file 3 in. thick of service records, original
delivery materials, Ziebart rustproof materials, and much more (please review all pics at the bottom of listing).
The previous owners even kept the three sets of points, distributor cap, original condenser, as well as the
original rotors over the years! (Unfortunately, we did not receive these items, so they do not come with the car).
The body is absolutely RUST FREE, and its rare ORIGINAL Anacona Blue paint is in superb condition. The car has been
carefully maintained since new with only 53,413 ORIGINAL miles on the clock (documented). We have only put 400 or
so extremely enjoyable miles on her. Due to collectibility and miles being an obvious issue, we have stopped
driving the car on a regular basis, although it is on a trickle charger and is started regularly and taken around
the block just to keep the fluids flowing properly.

CONDITION DETAILS
BODY
The body is as original as one would want, never rusted, never wrecked and with at least 95% of the original
finish. There are a few other items or "defects" on the exterior of the car that are noted here below:
1) The car had stick-on side molding and negative side stripes installed early on in its life (these both have
since been removed (the car when sold new or shortly thereafter received a "protective" amount of body side
molding, which was very popular back then prior to paintless dent removal)). Because of time and the nature of
adhesives back then, there is slight etching where the molding once was. We have not tried wet sanding or anything
of that nature in fear of tampering with the car's original exterior. It is not at all a detractor to the car and
is barely noticeable but needs disclosure.
2) The car had a front bra during its early life. There are very small water spots (white in color) on the front
bonnet from the condensation underneath. This is also an area that wet sanding or another procedure could possibly
work fine. We have decided to keep the car as original as possible and since it's hardly noticeable, we decided not
to pursue any paint ot body work whatsoever. The paint is so good on the car, we have been told it should never,
ever be painted on, so we have heeded respected advice here.
MECHANICAL
The car starts instantly, and runs and drives excellently. Clutch and transmission shifts smoothly and
effortlessly. Mechanically, she's just as nice. Serviced all the way by Auto Atlanta, and was in the owner's
personal collection. The steering wheels is ORIGINAL and crack free and the interior has been meticulously
maintained. No cracks in the dash, no tears, rips or splits in the seats.
The car comes with:
Original Porsche Tool Kit
All ORIGINAL Extra Keys (4) including Valet key
Ownership History (All unedited documents/originals will be included)
Service Records (Extensive maintenance records)
Owner's/Warranty Manuals (Complete)
Original Window Sticker and all delivery materials

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala
Mon, 16 Dec 2013That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man
Thu, 21 Nov 2013In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
