1976 Porsche 914 2.0 looks and runs great.  Strong running motor and great handling of a mid engine sports car.  Can't out-run a 911, but you can out-corner one!  No tail happy rear engine over-steer here.  I would describe this car as "refurbished" but not restored.  Overall a very original survivor.


This is the last year of Porsche's mid-engine rear drive entry level sports car.  You will have a hard time finding one in this condition!  It has a lot of desirable features including:

2.0 flat 4 air-cooled engine.  Runs very strong.  It does not have the original fuel injection, but instead has a reliable dual Weber carburetor set up.  A few notable improvements include the "Flamethrower" electronic ignition and new distributor.  Has an aftermarket 4 pipe sport exhaust.  Passed Colorado emissions test in December 2012.  

Original Fuchs aluminum wheels with newer Continental Contipro Contact 195/65 R15 91H sport tires with very good tread.  Even the spare is a Fuchs.

The car has been painted once in the original color with new decals.  The paint job is very good, with a few very minor blemishes.  Silver is the right color for this car.  Chrome and rubber bits are in good, solid shape.

5 Speed transmission with solid gearbox.  New shifter bushings throughout.

This car has TWO trunks!  It has pretty good storage for such a small car.  Will hold 2 sets golf clubs or a weekends worth of luggage.

Rust free and always garaged.  The body is very straight and panel fit is outstanding.  I have no reason to believe it has ever had an accident.

Suspension received major service in December.  New trailing arm bushings, wheel bearings, rear springs, control arm bushings, alignment, ride height adjustment.

This model came LOADED in 1976.  Leather seats, fog lights, air conditioning, 

Dealer installed air conditioning with recent recharge.  Not overpowering, but blows cold air.  Using it is silly because of ease of targa top removal (4 clips to undo, and stores in rear trunk.  Removal and installation takes about 1 minute and can be done without help)

This auction includes original manual, several good books, and a 914 T Shirt showing the funky shift pattern.

Full Disclosure Stuff (known issues)

Leaks a little engine oil
Minor paint blemishes on rear deck lid.  Once had a rear luggage rack bolted through it, and welding repairs are only fair.
Heater blower motor does not work
High beam headlights do not work (Low Beams, brake lights, taillights, indicators, fog lights work fine)
Front and rear rubber bumper covers are faded
Fuse box cover missing
First gear is a little difficult to shift into when cold
Original stereo is lost to the ages.  It has an older Yamaha AM/FM/Cassette with 4 new Pioneer speakers that do work.  The sound of the motor over your right shoulder and rush of air in your ears should make up for this.

Watch Finnish hoons drift a Porsche, a motorcycle and a snowmobile on ice

Tue, Feb 10 2015

We're figure the guys in Finland's Stunt Freaks Team see this video as three minutes of freewheeling snow drifting with a Triumph Daytona motorcycle on snow tires, a Porsche 911 GT3 rally car and a Polaris RMK snowmobile. We, however, like to think of it as a mini-documentary on the winter habits of bipedal Finnish mammals, who display a curious set of winter habits that fascinate us no matter how many times we see them. Admittedly, if we lived conveniently close to Rovaniemi, set smack-dab on the border of the Arctic Circle in Finland's Lapland, we'd do the same thing. The title says it all, save for there also being a side-by-side that was probably the camera car. It's missing the huge roostertails, but it's got a crash and a wheelie to make up for it.

Porsche Cayenne diesel V8 may not be long for this world

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Goodbye, Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel. We hardly knew ye. Nor did the Europeans, apparently. Porsche's V8 oil burner is still on the European model list for the Cayenne SUV, but the mill won't go through the likely pricey process of being updated to adhere to new and stricter European emissions standards, Just-Auto says. A Porsche spokesman confirmed to the publication that it's a fairly complicated process to update the diesel V8 to be so-called "Euro-6 compliant." With Cayenne diesels selling in relatively low volumes anyways, the German automaker might just dump the V8 diesel altogether, as it'd be quite cost-ineffective to make the necessary upgrades. The V8 diesel was a 4.1-liter engine that delivered 385 horsepower in addition to what sounds like a little too much exhaust for European clean-air regulators. While that's a pretty powerful profile, the most recent gas-powered V8 for the Cayenne delivers about 570 horsepower, so the diesel engine won't likely be missed by European auto enthusiasts. Besides, there's still the V6 diesel that's also sold in the US. That's a 4,800-pound beast that moves from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds and gets a relatively (for diesels) modest 20 miles per gallon city. For those who are curious, Autoblog's First Drive review of that model can be found here.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best

Thu, Nov 27 2014

After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.
