Great turn key hard to find unmolested original car with low miles.
this 1974 Porsche Euro 914 2.0 is in terrific condition and was very well cared for, unfortunately the owner passed away.
It is an original silver car with only one repaint. Always a garaged California car. The odometer works and shows 27,000.
The body is rust free and no sign of accidents or damage although there is a small depression ding on rear right quarter near the turn signal see photos.
It is very complete and everything works electrically, lights, turn signals, emergency warning, lighter ect..
Mechanically excellent, the original engine maintains its fuel injection and starts up on the first turn of the crank. It has a super nice tone thru a Monza style sport exhaust system. It has a really nice rumble to it...

It has fairly new tires all around on original 2.0 Fuchs alloy (5)wheels in excellent condition.
The 5 speed transmission shifts very smoothly in all gears at any speed with no grinding.
The GA code engine runs excellent with plenty of power, and is clean and tidy. Appears to be a low miler.
The battery was relocated to the front trunk to avoid any potential "hell hole" damage to develop.
All lights, fog lights, gauges and clock,  function as they should. The oem lenses look awesome.
The Targa top is in excellent condition and still fits nicely in the rear trunk over the spare Fuchs.
Body is strait smooth original panels with beautiful tight gaps with minimal chips. paint is 9/10.
The bumpers are strait and rubber tops are like new, no warping or chips.
Doors close tight and windows roll up quickly. All locks and keys function.
Original rubber seals in great condition, front widshield has a small spider crack on lower left side.
.
The interior is original except for the very comfortable Scheel type sport seat, perfectly holds you in tight turns.
The dash has some cracks but is still solid, it has a dash mat covering.
There was no records only the owners manual, a maintenance book and a tool kit.(included with the sale)
Title is free and clear. Collector blue plate NOT included.

The car is very quick and tight, the suspension feels very nice and handles wonderfully on mountain drives where this car really demonstrates its handling superiority. A real enjoyable experience and the best 914 I have ever driven, bar none.
Never mind that the 73-74 2.0's are rising fast in value, just buy it to drive it fast instead.

Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
