1976 Porsche 914 on 2040-cars
Lohn, Texas, United States
This is a great car and with very rare dealer-installed OEM A/C. The car was bought new in Texas, and I bought from the second Texas
owner: always a Texas car. The odometer shows 68,661 miles, but does not spin (mileage exempt due to classic
status). All other gauges/lights work. Based on how it looks, fit/finish, and how it drives, I seriously doubt it
has clicked over the 100k mark, in my opinion.
Until recently, the car was driven very little since the early 90's but was run in its garage regularly. The engine
runs great and has no dripping oil and is very clean burning with no smoke. The transmission shifts perfectly and
clutch works perfectly. The suspension, shocks, bushings, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc. are in good condition with
nothing loose or worn. Brakes are good. Nearly $11,000.00 has been spent since March of last year making this an
excellent, attractive and reliable driver. Among the improvements: 5 new Pirelli tires 4 with just a few hundred
miles, and the spare never on the ground (warranty docs convey). New muffler (OEM), rear bearings, new
weather-stripping and window adjustments for sealing, new OEM seals all around the car including doors, targa roof,
both trunks, etc., new spark plug insert, new plugs/tune, fresh fluids throughout, all new brakes, caliper kits,
hoses, pads, rear trunk lock, etc. The car is ready to drive, and it will be a joy! All work done by well known
and highly respected professional Porsche specialist shop in San Antonio.
The interior is almost perfect and certainly for its age is in very good condition. There is one small crack on the
top of the instrument cluster housing and the dash has no cracks. There are a couple of nicks in the seats and
center pad. Door panels are perfect. Carpet is in good condition. You can see from the pictures the overall
condition of the interior is excellent. The top and door seals are new, OEM. Anybody that knows these cars always
checks the battery tray and the subsequent rust trail from the battery tray to the back corner of the passenger
seat. On this car it is very clean and no rust is evident. Both trunks are perfect and look like they just come off
the showroom floor. Now the body!!!. The body and chassis on this car are rust free. The bumpers are in great shape
but need a little buffing to get the shine back. The overall look of the car as you can see in the pictures is
almost perfect, with new, very high quality two tone paint (original Porsche 914 colors). Overall this car has a
great look and presents its self very well. It starts, runs, shifts, and stops as it should, and is a dream to
drive. A near perfect car !!!
1976 was the final year for the Porsche 914. Owned by Porsche Club of America (PCA) member (and racer in a 1971
914-4 2L race car).

Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.
