Salida, California, United States

Up for auction is a 1976 Porsche 914 2.0L that has gone through a complete restoration to make it the beauty you see today. In the past this car was used as a show car for local car club meets and events. No expense was spared during the professional restoration of this 914 (With 1200 hours and over $25,000 in receipts). The motor is the original 2.0L that has been completely rebuilt making it a 2.45L, stock crank with 103mm pistons and dual Weber carbs feeding it. The paint on the car looks great with no major imperfections to speak of. This car was originally red from the factory. The front and rear bumpers are both in good condition with some wear showing to both. The sails and top have both been painted to match the body. All the glass looks great with the exception of the windshield having a small 5" crack at the top passenger side. The interior has been finished in red and gray which looks great! The dash and center console are both in red with red stitching which gives the car a very rich, elegant look. Both seats are in good condition with minimal wear showing. All gauges are in good working order as well as all lights, blinkers, wipers and horn. Also has power windows, power antenna and a 12 disc CD changer. The shifter and steering wheel are both made by MOMO. The car has, an Omni Pack, mild performance cam, SS heat exchangers, Burshch exhaust and a performance air dam. The motor runs great and is a blast to drive. Recently installed is a new voltage regulator, ignition, axle boots, starter and both carbs rebuilt and tuned. It's a great road runner and will out corner anything on the road. According to the VIN number this was the 350th to the last 914 ever made. This car has gone through a complete tear down and rebuild with every nut and bolt being replaced. (literally) only 18,518 miles since then.This car has always been garaged and has no rust. There is a small area near the dirvers handle with a bit of raised up paint and a couple of spots where a touch up paint pin was used. 

Also in the auction I am throwing in some extra parts: New clutch and accelerator cables, voltage regulator, oil screen gasket, carburetor brackets and gaskets.

I will also throw in my Haynes manual, custom Porsche key fob with light up key, original black key and red valet key and an extra key I had made. Also, I will send the original sales brochure (from 1976), owners manual, a 914 magazine article and my red diecast mini car (nice touch for the workbench).  Reasonable reserve. Good Luck!

 
The buyer is responsible for the cost and set up for any shipping, but I can assist with meeting with a car delivery driver if needed. Or dropping off at a port if shipping overseas (San Francisco area). All paperwork and fees are the responsibility of the buyer. No drop off or possession will be granted untill all funds have cleared.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever

Fri, Jun 30 2017

The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.

Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events

Tue, 13 May 2014

Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
