1975 Porsche 914 Targa Base Coupe 2-door, 2.0l on 2040-cars
Middletown, California, United States
|
Original California car with no rust issues. It is very attractive and I have had people actually run after this car wanting to know more about it--I think it's the color and sleek lines that attract. The body is very straight and original engine has been replaced with 912 case, counter balanced crank, aluminum rods, racing pistons, performance cam, solid lifters, dual 40 Webers. Car is built for speed.
Interior is in good condition-classic sport steering wheel has great feel and carpets are new. Corbeau classic bucket sport seats are a beautiful and functional addition to the vehicle. Heat exchangers have been removed for weight and power savings ..The windshield is new, and all glass is tinted. Dash has a few cracks but nothing major. CD player is added. Battery tray has been removed as battery has been relocated to rear trunk for better weight distribution and room in the engine bay. Engine bay, undercarriage and front and rear storage areas are coated with a protective spray (similar to truck bed liner material.) Custom carpet panels and carpeted battery box. Electronic ignition is new, front brakes are upgraded BMW 320i and rear brakes have been rebuilt ( new rotors and pads all around.). Transmission is smooth and all linkage bushings have been replaced. Car comes with one pair of original 911 seats which we replaced with the Corbeau bucket sport seats for a better fit in this car.One 911 seat has a slight tear . The car had several bubbles under the green paint which we tried to eliminate. Unfortunately the paint company sent the wrong color and it is much lighter, and shows in two small spots on each side of the car near the doors. We left it alone, not wanting to do any more harm than we already had. Properly matching the existing color paint would be the fix here. This 914 is capable of great speed and handling if that's your thing. |

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
