This 1970 Porsche 914 was a 'barn find' and had been stored in a garage for 7 + years when I found it in 2004. It was not totally original and the only history I have on it is that it belonged to a Naval Officer in Sand Diego. It was his daily driver from the late 80's to late 90's.

It was given to, and put back on the road by my father, until he gave it back to me 5 years ago. After that, the 1.7 was upgraded to a 2.0 with dual Webber 44 carbs. Approx mileage is 40k on the motor and trans. Odometer shows a little over 88,000.

In the past year:

It was painted from a dark maroon to Porsche 914 color, Willow Green. (The original color was Canary Yellow). The paint is in good shape, with normal pits in the hood from highway driving but looks really sharp and turns heads. One small crack on driver's fender. There was bondo there from someone shaving side lights, but all was removed when painted, but a crack appeared in that spot. This in fact was the only bondo found on car when painted. 

•New carpet on interior, and both trunks. New front struts and aftermarket rear trunk lid struts for easier opening.
•Top is in good shape with no mechanical issues with the latches. 
No rust to speak of. The battery tray was rusted and replaced, but no 'hell hole' issues. All other surface rust was eliminated when painted.
•Tires have approx. 70% tread. 195/ 60 on front, 205/60 on rear. 
•Riviera wheels in great condition.
•Normal dash cracks. I have a plastic cover on the dash.
•Some work done by German Dreams in Bakersfield, CA.
•Kenwood AM/FM stereo with single CD player. One stock speaker could use replacing. 2 speakers in door panels, 4 total.
•After market muffler, which produces a louder sounding car. Small hole in rear valance.
•Interior is not original. Seats are in great shape, no tears. Some small tears in door panels and backing, nothing major. Overall a 8.5/10

This car is a driver, not a concour car, but a nice car that I have been proud to show. 

It was pictured in the Sept 2013 Porsche Panorama magazine as the feature car for the Cal Inland PCA Concour from last spring.

It has been driven in many autocross events, and performs well. I am selling it because I picked up another project car, and can't keep both. I do not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021

Thu, Feb 18 2021

J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year.  "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.
