1970 Porsche 914-6 Original Colors Numbers Matching on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Porsche
Drive Type: 2WD
Model: 914
Mileage: 999,999
Trim: Metallic green/ Black leatherette
Up for auction is a nice 1970 Porsche 914-6. It has had one respray from new in the original color of metallic green. The paint looks very nice, but there is some "solvent pop on the hood & the headlight doors. It isn't super noticeable and I tried to photograph it but I want to be clear that the paint likely looks a little better in photos than in person. There is also a ding in the passenger door & another small one on the cowl. Both are pictured. The floors have some rust in them but no major holes. Yet. There is a small dent in the front bumper (pictured). The rest of the car is VERY solid. It was painted about 20 years ago, so if anything was going to show up, I think it would have by now. It runs, drives, shifts & stops very nicely. I didn't drive it a lot, but to me, this car is WAY more fun than a 911 especially with the top off. The former owner was a PCA auto-x enthusiast so he put a sport exhaust & weltmeister sway bars on it and lowered it a bit. Other than that it is original. I have the COA and the numbers match. It also comes with the original service book, handbook and window sticker. This car is not a restored trailer queen, but it does present itself very nicely and it is a great driver that you can enjoy while it appreciates in value. I am thinning the herd while I am waist deep in the restoration of my 59 356 cab. I have tried to represent this car as accurately as I can through my description and photos. Email any questions and happy bidding.

Please do not email me asking to buy the car offline. The auction will run it's course & the reserve is very realistic, so bid to win. It is a very good car at a fair price. Thank you.
On Feb-08-13 at 12:22:53 PST, seller added the following information:
The odometer reads 79k & I believe this to be correct although I can't swear that it is but the car is too nice for it to be 179k. The motor & trans were rebuilt by Mike Bruns who is a very well known guy here in Florida. I have been trying to reach him & the prior owner. I do not know the mileage since the rebuild or the specs, but the motor / trans are still clean, do not leak or smoke & function very well. The engine performs better than I would expect a 110hp motor to, so I suspect that it might have some head work &/ or cams. But, again, I make no promises. I expect to have firm answers to this before the close of auction. I posted some additional photos of the top of the engine (what you can see of it) and the original books & window sticker & keys. They are in the original Porsche+Audi pouch (not pictured).

Ebay is going through some sort of maintenance issues according to their bulletin board & will not let me upload any photos. I will get the additional photos up ASAP. Thanks.
On Feb-10-13 at 11:10:57 PST, seller added the following information:
Ebay is still having technical issues that prevent me from adding photos. I forgot that there is a fairly complete tool kit. The engine # is 6405550.

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
