1973 Porsche 914 1.7 Fuel Injected Signal Orange Appearance Group HelloeBayers! Welcome to my auction. Today I have a great find for those of youinterested in getting a super nice and clean RUST FREE 914 with super loworiginal miles. I bought this car out ofdry storage. It was tucked away in aclean and dry garage where it had been for many years. The previous owner had purchased the car fromthis Porsche’s original owner with the hopes of doing a few of the mechanicalfixes it needed along with some cosmetic needs. He had always wanted a Signal Orange 914. Unfortunately, life got in the way of hisdreams and the car just sat. When I foundthe car it was not in running condition, but a total survivor. 70,450 original miles too! Factory Fuel Injection still intact. Factory engine and transmission too. The gas had gone bad and all the injectorswere gummed up. The original paint hadsome primed areas where prior dings had been repaired, but never painted. The interior was very nice, but the driver’sseat cushion was torn. Even at thisstage though, I could tell that this was a fantastic find. The car was/is as dry as any I haveseen. The floors are original andperfect and rust free as are the hell hole areas. The period correct Italian Murretti wheelseven had the original center caps.. Iwish I could find cars like this more often.. Afterpurchasing the 914 I had it towed to my shop where we removed the gas tank, hadit scoured and sealed. We then removedall the injectors and sent them out to be rebuilt. Next we went to work on the obvious.. We adjusted the valves and replaced the gaskets.We also replaced the spark plugs with new oldstock 70s BOSH plugs and a distributorcap. We flushed the oil in the engine aswell and filled again with Mobil One Synthetic. Once thework was complete, we installed the tank and injectors and started the car. It fired instantly and after a moment of coughing,ran like a Swiss watch… Okay, Germanmore likely.. This Porsche is all there. It looks great, it drives great. I have done everything that this car needed.. Cosmetically and mechanically.. This car is totally ready to enjoy. If you havewatched my previous auctions I have had many 914s over the last couple ofyears.. All super nice cars.. None of them however, have run this well. The engine is tight and powerful. It does not smoke, it does not leak. It has no issues at all. The transmission is the side-shifter type andI am serious when I say that there is a huge difference in how these preformcompared to the tail style. It is alsotight like new. All of the bushings arestrong, all of the syncros are perfect (up and down).. Put it this way.. You don’t have to have an intimaterelationship with this car in order to drive it properly.. Those of you that have owned vintage Porschesknow what I’m talking aboutJ This car hasit all. A Signal Orange finish, all thechrome accents and touches of sport that made up the appearance group, virgindoor panels, and fog lights too.. Forthe purists out there, I can’t call the car a survivor because I had to do somepaintwork to the car but this car was not restored.. It has always been super nice and loved. The factorycolor is Signal Orange (L20E) and although a partial repaint, the work isexcellent and in the exact proper factory shade. I had the work done by a shop that has alwaysdone the best work and this car is no exception. The work is top quality on the matching andany blends. I waxed it by hand and it istotally worthy of covered transport. Iwish I could find this color more often. It is my all-time favorite color for vintage Porsches. The car is laser straight. There is no sign of previous damage or filleranywhere. This car is NOT a barn findmade road worthy again. It has beencared for and garaged for its entire life, just barely driven. The hell holes are good and solid. The original floor pans are intact and theylook excellent from the top and bottom. Thefloor is as dry as can be. The bumpersare perfect. There are no dings, dentsor flaking. There is some wear andweathering on the foam rubber tops of the bumpers but nothing I would bedisappointed with. The interioris also top notch. No stains in thecarpet. No rips or tears in theupholstery. No excuses at all. I took out the seats and photographed thefloors and they are factory perfect. Thedoor panels are perfect and there are no cut speaker holes. Theblinkers, the wipers, and brake lights and pop up headlights all work properly. The fog lights and horn are not working atthis time but I will have them figured out before auction end. All the pieces are there.. The top fitssnuggly and is also very nice I know thisdescription is getting a bit long, but if you want to know more on the carplease call. I speak Porsche enthusiast andI don’t mind doing it. I am happy toshow this car with an appointment as well. I am settingthe reserve very low and I know the 914 will sell the first go around as longas we all play by these rules. #1.

Petrolicious explores long-term living with Porsche's 914/6
Thu, 15 May 2014After its last video starred none other than the spectacular Ferrari 250 GTO, where was there for the video team at Petrolicious to go? Certainly, in the realm of classics, there are only a few other vehicles that can match the badge and pedigree of the ultra-rare Ferrari. Maybe a Jaguar D-Type or an Aston Martin DBR1? No, this latest video doesn't star either of those British icons. It stars an oft-misunderstood, occasionally derided entry from Germany's most sporting manufacturer - Porsche.
Yes, we've gone from a Ferrari 250 GTO to a Porsche 914/6. As is often the case with Petrolicious, though, the story told about the car by its owner are often more important than the make or model of car being highlighted. That's exactly the case here, as Jack Griffin talks about the 38 years he's spent with this particular Porsche.
Having been born into the Volkswagen fold and introduced to Porsche in the best way possible - behind the wheel of a 356 - Griffin has some interesting stories (including his attempt at running the 12 Hours of Sebring), and he knows a fair bit about some of the 914's attributes.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
