My father bought this car used in 1971 - 11K miles. The car was sold in 1977 with mileage approx. 16K. The last owner before me put on about 12K. I have owned it since 2000. The car was garaged consistently from 1971 to 2006 and was never run in Winter. Since 2006, it has been under an oversize heavy duty cover. Car was professionally undercoated in 1971 (Ziebart).

Interior: Clean with no signs of wear.

Exterior (body) - Very nice condition; only minor rust issues.

Includes original jack, spare tire tools, foot rest, owners's manual, maintenance record, and radio (original radio was not working and I replaced it (but saved it)). Tires are like new.

Known issues:

Not running due to a broken fuel pump (no typical fuel pump hum indicates it is broken) - will need to be towed. Engine was running fine just a year ago.
Stuck handbrake (frozen rear calipers)
Speedometer not working (was run approx 50 miles without the working speedo). Speedo was refurbished in 2004, so cable is likely culprit, not the speedo itself.
One missing hubcap
Some rust in engine compartment near battery (typical for 914s).

Potential issues:

Evidence of some longitudinal rust on drivers's side; buyer will need to remove the rocker panels to gauge extent. I am told this is a very typical problem with 914s. However, given that the car has been garaged most of it's life, I am guessing that longitudinal rusting occurred only within the past six or so years, and may not be so extensive as to require major repair.

I am not selling as a parts car. The very low mileage, color, and general appearance of this 914 create value that many other 914s do not have.

Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
