1976 Porsche 914 2.0L
Options, Extras, and Vehicle Condition
If you are reading this ad, you probably already know that the 914's are rapidly increasing in value, following the
same path as the 356 and earlier 911 models to rooftop price levels as everyone seems to appreciate these
"high-quality-build, last-of-the air-cooled" Porsches. With the 914-6's becoming further from reach in price, the
Limited Edition 914-4's and 1976 models are second only to the 6 in collectability and bring some of the highest
prices to date (and climbing). The 1976 models in particular are very valuable because they were the last of the
breed, being the last and least produced of all the 4-cylinder 914's, AND they had all of the factory improvements
developed by Porsche over the years of 914 testing and production. No 1976 model was ever made in the year 1976,
with the last 914 ever built in December of 1975. This particular specimen is a November 1975 production car
(11/75), and one of the last 914's ever built. The car came with two options from the factory: tinted glass and
center seat cushion (see full list below and window sticker in pictures above).
This 914 certainly qualifies as one of the most collectible and if kept in current condition, will skyrocket in
value in the future. One of the best colors ever offered by Porsche (L97b), and with only 53,413 miles, this car
shows those miles extremely well with an impeccable interior and body, totally ORIGINAL engine compartment, and
immaculate front and rear trunks. In addition, the spare is the factory original that has never hit the ground. The
tool kit is original and complete, the owner's manual and cover are in the glove box, comes with all four (4)
original keys, and also the original factory window sticker and a file 3 in. thick of service records, original
delivery materials, Ziebart rustproof materials, and much more (please review all pics at the bottom of listing).
The previous owners even kept the three sets of points, distributor cap, original condenser, as well as the
original rotors over the years! (Unfortunately, we did not receive these items, so they do not come with the car).
The body is absolutely RUST FREE, and its rare ORIGINAL Anacona Blue paint is in superb condition. The car has been
carefully maintained since new with only 53,413 ORIGINAL miles on the clock (documented). We have only put 400 or
so extremely enjoyable miles on her. Due to collectibility and miles being an obvious issue, we have stopped
driving the car on a regular basis, although it is on a trickle charger and is started regularly and taken around
the block just to keep the fluids flowing properly.

CONDITION DETAILS
BODY
The body is as original as one would want, never rusted, never wrecked and with at least 95% of the original
finish. There are a few other items or "defects" on the exterior of the car that are noted here below:
1) The car had stick-on side molding and negative side stripes installed early on in its life (these both have
since been removed (the car when sold new or shortly thereafter received a "protective" amount of body side
molding, which was very popular back then prior to paintless dent removal)). Because of time and the nature of
adhesives back then, there is slight etching where the molding once was. We have not tried wet sanding or anything
of that nature in fear of tampering with the car's original exterior. It is not at all a detractor to the car and
is barely noticeable but needs disclosure.
2) The car had a front bra during its early life. There are very small water spots (white in color) on the front
bonnet from the condensation underneath. This is also an area that wet sanding or another procedure could possibly
work fine. We have decided to keep the car as original as possible and since it's hardly noticeable, we decided not
to pursue any paint ot body work whatsoever. The paint is so good on the car, we have been told it should never,
ever be painted on, so we have heeded respected advice here.
MECHANICAL
The car starts instantly, and runs and drives excellently. Clutch and transmission shifts smoothly and
effortlessly. Mechanically, she's just as nice. Serviced all the way by Auto Atlanta, and was in the owner's
personal collection. The steering wheels is ORIGINAL and crack free and the interior has been meticulously
maintained. No cracks in the dash, no tears, rips or splits in the seats.
The car comes with:
Original Porsche Tool Kit
All ORIGINAL Extra Keys (4) including Valet key
Ownership History (All unedited documents/originals will be included)
Service Records (Extensive maintenance records)
Owner's/Warranty Manuals (Complete)
Original Window Sticker and all delivery materials

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
