1975 Porsche 914 2.0 Appearance Group Backdate Hotrod Rs Targa Restored No Rust on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
I bought this car as a incredibly clean and well cared for 914. As you know these cars were not well loved in most cases, and discarded as not collectables in the past. But in recent times these cars are highly sought after, if in collector condition. With the rise of value of the early long hood 911's fastly approaching over $100k, collector 914's are a real bargain. This car was owned by a longtime 914 follower, and was part of a group of 914's he had, I was able to convince him to sell me the car to restore to its current condition, because, I too LOVE these little Porsches. This car was in excellent running condition and had recently had all the drivetrain and suspension gone through, so really all it needed to be restored was the cosmetics and paint. Right away I had the cars exterior and interior dissasembled to be prepped for paint. It was an easy car to get painted because it had very little bumps and bruises on the exterior, just the original optional Silver Metallic L96D paint was faded and had to polish left to it. While it was out for paint I ordered almost every seal for the body and Targa top. The interior was in great condition except for a couple spots where the seat bottoms had some stress cracks. So I had a new seat material replaced, and ordered RS America door cards from Appbiz to give the interior a great look. The original interior door parts come with the car as well, plus all the hardware that was replaced. The Targa Top was completly redone with all new seal and door window seals and wipers. I spent several thousand and parts suppliers like Sierra Madre and Pelican Parts. Also brand new door handles for both sides were installed. All the trunk and bonnet seals were replaced as well. After the car came back from paint, it was wet sanded and polished to perfection. The hell hole battery tray area is in great condition, only repair spot I found on the car was in the rear trunk area where a section of metal was replaced. It is a solid repair that will not give the new owner any issues. Other upgrades on this car are the very popular Rivera wheels that have been restored and look great with this 914 stance. The tires have lots of life left and drive down the road with no vibrations or wandering. The prior owner had done the back date to this car with the more popular chrome bumpers and impact strips. That is what makes this car so cool, to get the latest and best 914 motor and the early 914 look. To finish of the car Porsche script was added to the side profile and a offset vinyl stripe to hood and deck lid, that could be removed easily if the buyer wanted, but I love it! I am sure I am missing other things we did to the car, what I do the winner of this No Reserve Auction will be very happy. Please call Josh 503 475 8078 or Matt 503 819 9007 for details Prior inspections are welcome, and winning bid it is a commitment to purchase Good luck

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
Infiniti cribs new US boss from Porsche
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Just weeks before he was supposed to become CEO of Porsche Cars Australia, Infiniti has apparently offered Porsche COO and Executive Vice President Michael Bartsch a deal he couldn't refuse. Thus, Bartsch has join the company as Vice President of Infiniti Americas, the luxury marque's top North American post. Bartsch replaces Ben Poore, who has been with the automaker since 2008, having led both a 22-percent sales surge in 2012 and the brand's current sales slough, Automotive News reports.
Bartsch, Porsche's No. 2 US executive, has held the COO and Executive Vice President positions at Porsche since 2005 and was scheduled to become CEO of Porsche's Oz division on September 1. Infiniti has experienced a number of recent personnel changes in the past week: it named Vincent Gillet, formerly an executive for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, to lead its marketing efforts worldwide and Simon Cox, a former designer for automakers including Ford and Peugeot, to head a new design studio in London.
Poore reportedly will pursue other interests outside of the auto industry. Read more about the personnel change in the press release below.
