Goleta, California, United States
|
Porsche 914 is quickly becoming a classic collector car . For many years it was overlooked and not really excepted as a true Porsche. Because of its cost when sold, it was also overlooked
The price was so close to the 911 s selling at the same time , people just turned their head. And bought the 911 s . The 914 really had a hard time from the beginning. With all the trouble between the 2 companies building it. Porsche design and VW assembly. And even cost involved with that . And them a middle man company, Karman Gia .... Building all the chassis . It was just a very difficult collaboration from the beginning . Now today . " the 914 " WOW !!!! What a fun little car. I have been around them for over thirty years. I have owned over 30 914 cars . This car is a true survivor, third owner car from northern California. It has never been restored, it has been repainted and I re did the seats, door panels, some seals, doors R/L truck seals and a new windshield and seals . I also back dated the bumpers to 1972. I think this look is so much nicer. I have the 1974 bumpers and they will be included in the sale of the car . You can see them in the pictures posted. You see the car has a momo steering wheel . (IT IS NOT PART OF THE SALE) . I have the stock wheel . And have put it back in the car . Dash has a small crack that starts just in front of the drivers view over the dash . It goes down to the windshield . The car is still fuel injected, and shows 32.975 on the dash, I am sure the chassis has 132,975 Car runs very well. And can be considered a daily driver . No rust, all the normal places the 914 has problems are ok . Nothing under the battery tray. And both left and right side longs are solid . Car just had a four wheel brake job new rotors pads . And service Plugs , wires , cap rotor, air filter , oil , Timing and valve adjust . This is a solid car that will only go up in value over time . This is great example the the porsche 914 and the buyer will not have any remorse . I would love to keep this one, but I am involved in another 914 project, right now. So this car needs to find a great home . A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due 24 hours after auction ends and full payment is due in 72 hours. After auction ends . This is a as is sale .

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
