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.

Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers

Fri, Mar 11 2016

Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
