This is your chance to get a nice 914 at a great price if you are willing to do some work. The car is nearly complete, about the only parts needed to finish it are an ignition switch electrical section and the heater flap control cable and the short heater hoses that run between the heater valves and body. The car will also need some wiring work done, the harness is good but some of the wires need sorting out. The headlights and most of the other lights work, so do the wipers, the turn signal and horn wiring needs attention. The new fuel pump needs to be hooked up, and you will probably have to install a new ignition switch electrical section. I bought the car seven years ago and know that it has been sitting for at least a decade, it was a rolling chassis when I bought it and was missing a lot of parts including the speedometer so I have no idea what the real milage is. The motor last ran about a year ago when I had it in another 914, it has twin Brosol Solex 40 mm carbs with electric chokes, and it also has hydraulic lifters and cam, it is a very quiet engine that only has about 200 miles on it. The side shift late model transmission shifts nicely but I cannot vouch for it working 100% as I have never had it in a running car. The rear shocks are KYB gas, the rear brakes need to be reassembled and installed, the front brakes are rebuilt and the master cylinder is a new 911 type. The tie rod ends are new and so are the wipers, the tires are all good but need balancing and are not matched. The upholstery is serviceable but not perfect, the carpet is new and the pedal cluster has been rebuilt with bronze bushings. The passenger side inner door weather strip is in need of replacement and a couple of other weather strips are in not-perfect shape, the front trunk bulkhead seal and the front targa seal, the rest are in good shape. The car is solid with no rust in the floor pans, rockers or hell hole. The paint has runs in it that don't show up well in the photos, they might color sand and buff out but it may need to be re-shot on the passenger side. I need to sell this car now, otherwise I would have finished it, currently it is registered non-op. I have a trailer that the buyer can use to move it, and I also have a large stock of 914 parts, if the new owner needs anything I have in the first six months I will provide it for free, including a transmission. The radio is junk, and there are no speakers, and the right rear tail light has some sun cracks. The starting bid may seem high but it is less than I have into the motor alone, I hate to have to sell this car now but need the cash. The picture of the motor out of the car show a different exhaust system and starter, the car has a new starter and muffler. The photo of the car in bare metal shows the original color, yellow.

2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.

Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
