Portland, Oregon, United States

1972 Porsche 914 1.7 Light Ivory over Black Appearance Group Fuel Injected Justin 503-969-5127 Hello out
there in eBay land and welcome to my auction.
For those of you that follow my auctions you know that I have more than
a few fantastic 914 in the last few years.
This one is no exception and my personal favorite. This is a 1972 1.7 liter car with low actual
miles and a perfectly documented history.
An Oregon 3 owner car including myself, I found this car as a total
survivor. Zero rust and all original. Hell hole and battery tray intact. Wearing all of its original paint too. The underside of this Porsche is as dry as a
bone. The lines of undercoating you see
on the bottom side is factory. It has
never been touched since. It does indeed come with the hard Targa top and it is also in excellent shape. Unfortunately,
the paint was pretty tired and as hard as I tried to save it and keep it
original I finally decided that the car was nice enough to deserve a real
complete paint job. This is no easy task
if you want the job to turn out right.
The car has to be stripped of all of its chrome and bumpers and parts so
that the paint can be applied without tape lines and overspray. It is really an undertaking. This is before you get into the actual
prepping and painting of the car. We
used the exact proper color mix from the Porsche code. (Light Ivory L80E) We also used 2 coats of base color plus a
clear coat. It is a fantastic paint
job. The car was incredibly straight to
begin with so very little filler was needed.
I have included before, during and after pictures as well in my
listing. Please call if you have
questions about the paint, painter, or the process. The secret
to a good restoration, or in this case a mini restoration, is to start with a solid
car. Not only was this car solid to
begin with it was, is, and has always been a great running and driving
car. It is tuned and tight. It starts instantly every time without
issue. The gearbox is as good as any I
have driven. The clutch is strong. Suspension, brakes, steering, all great. I have a folder on the car FILLED with
thousands of dollars’ worth of receipts from years of care. The interior
is all original and still very nice.
Almost perfect! No holes cut in
the door panels factory original radio too.
Yes a standard crack in the dash pad. The tires
are new. The wheels are Mahle and very
nice. All the gages and lights work
properly. Wipers, gas gage, blinkers,
radio, heat.. Everything. There is a
custom performance exhaust on the car and it is really nice, but I am including
the original for the purists as well. I
hope the picture demonstrate how nice this car is. It is as nice as these come and was a lot of
work to complete. The winner of this
auction will be happy with this car. Bid
with confidence. This Scout II has a ton of vintage appeal and
will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation. It is over 40 years old so if you are not
used to a vehicle this old please call me and let me help you make an informed

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Evo makes the case for the world's best driving road in Majorca
Tue, 05 Aug 2014What good is a sports car if you haven't got a great place to drive it? It's a common refrain that we've heard time and time again. But few are as familiar with the problem as they are in the UK, where the number of people, cars on the road and traffic cameras keep growing to conspire against the joy of driving. Leave it to Evo, then, to depart in search of the greatest driving road in the world.
It's a pursuit that's taken the British car mag across Europe, most recently to Romania's Carpathian Mountains where it added the Transalpina Pass to its short list. But its latest journey has taken Evo to the Spanish island of Majorca, where Henry Catchpole found not one, but two spectacular driving roads from behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster GTS. We could drone on about the smooth, empty ribbons of twisting tarmac with excellent visibility and panoramic vistas... but you really want to see the video for yourself. Don't miss Evo's previous trip to Romania in the Jaguar F-Type, which we've included below, as well.
