No Reserve... This is an outstanding original 1976 Porsche 914 2.0 Targa from southern California. Last year of the mid engine rear wheel drive 914 Porsche. Original numbers matching desirable 2.0 motor and 5 speed manual transmission. The body, underside, compartments, jams, everything is rust free. The battery tray, both the front and rear compartment floors, etc. has no rust or patches at all. Clean california title in hand. Everything works on this Porsche. It has been well maintained and over the last year or so it has received all new tires, new brakes, new shocks, and a new clutch. This 914 has been used and trusted to drive reguarly. There are zero issues to prevent it from being driven anywhere right now. Runs cool and there no leaks at all that I have noticed.
The motor starts up very quietly and runs great. No smoking or irregular sounds. Exhaust is in good shape. The transmission shifts tight and smooth through all the gears, up and down shifting. This 914 runs and drives like a dream with more power than you would expect (although it does have the superior 2.0). It handles better than a 911, and with the mid engine design it is no surprise. The original owner said the miles are correct and that it has not rolled over, but I have no documents proving that. The paint has some fading and a blister at the top front passenger side fender as shown. The dash is excellent without cracks and the glass is perfect. Amazing condition overall for a 38 year old vehicle. I have the original steering wheel for the new owner as well as some other extras. I took 100 photos to show the condition thoroughly, and it shows quite well. Located in San Diego, California two miles from Seaworld. Again, selling with No Reserve...

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
2014 Porsche Cayman S
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.
