Up for auction is a 1976 Porsche 914 2.0L that has gone through a complete restoration to make it the beauty you see today. In the past this car was used as a show car for local car club meets and events. No expense was spared during the professional restoration of this 914 (With 1200 hours and over $25,000 in receipts). The motor is the original 2.0L that has been completely rebuilt making it a 2.45L, stock crank with 103mm pistons and dual Weber carbs feeding it. The paint on the car looks great with no major imperfections to speak of. This car was originally red from the factory. The front and rear bumpers are both in good condition with some wear showing to both. The sails and top have both been painted to match the body. All the glass looks great with the exception of the windshield having a small 5" crack at the top passenger side. The interior has been finished in red and gray which looks great! The dash and center console are both in red with red stitching which gives the car a very rich, elegant look. Both seats are in good condition with minimal wear showing. All gauges are in good working order as well as all lights, blinkers, wipers and horn. Also has power windows, power antenna and a 12 disc CD changer. The shifter and steering wheel are both made by MOMO. The car has, an Omni Pack, mild performance cam, SS heat exchangers, Burshch exhaust and a performance air dam. The motor runs great and is a blast to drive. Recently installed is a new voltage regulator, ignition, axle boots, starter and both carbs rebuilt and tuned. It's a great road runner and will out corner anything on the road. According to the VIN number this was the 350th to the last 914 ever made. This car has gone through a complete tear down and rebuild with every nut and bolt being replaced. (literally) only 18,518 miles since then.This car has always been garaged and has no rust. There is a small area near the dirvers handle with a bit of raised up paint and a couple of spots where a touch up paint pin was used.

Also in the auction I am throwing in some extra parts: New clutch and accelerator cables, voltage regulator, oil screen gasket, carburetor brackets and gaskets.

I will also throw in my Haynes manual, custom Porsche key fob with light up key, original black key and red valet key and an extra key I had made. Also, I will send the original sales brochure (from 1976), owners manual, a 914 magazine article and my red diecast mini car (nice touch for the workbench). Reasonable reserve. Good Luck!

The buyer is responsible for the cost and set up for any shipping, but I can assist with meeting with a car delivery driver if needed. Or dropping off at a port if shipping overseas (San Francisco area). All paperwork and fees are the responsibility of the buyer. No drop off or possession will be granted untill all funds have cleared.

Buyer to pay 500.00 deposit within 48 hours from end of auction using Paypal. Full payment due within 7 days.

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.

Mark Webber gets early clearance for Porsche departure

Thu, 28 Nov 2013

If there's no rest for the wicked, there's surely even less rest for the wickedly fast. And make no mistake about it, Mark Webber is wickedly fast. He may not have proven able (or given the opportunity, depending on who you ask) to emerge from Sebastian Vettel's shadow after six seasons partnered with the multiple world champion at Red Bull Racing, but he's still won nine Formula One grands prix, to say nothing of the sports car races he won with Mercedes in the late 90s. But now he's leaving F1 to anchor Porsche's new LMP1 program, and according to the latest reports, he's departing Red Bull for Porsche sooner than expected.
Typically an F1 driver is obliged to stay with his team until the end of the calendar year - not just the end of the racing season - helping out with things like promotional events and fine-tuning next year's car. But news.com.au reports that Red Bull has given him early leave, so once the racing action in Brazil is done on Sunday, he's departing straight for Porsche's racing headquarters in Wiessach, Germany.
It won't be Webber's first visit to the facility, having already swung by to have his new seat fitted. But his early arrival will undoubtedly help him and Porsche get up and running ahead of schedule. The move may have been facilitated by a new sponsorship deal that could see Webber carry Red Bull with him to Le Mans, so don't be too surprised to see the energy drink company's logo on the side of the new Porsche once the new racing season gets under way next year, whether in concert with or instead of the anticipated revival of the Martini Racing livery.

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911

Fri, 23 May 2014

Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
