For Sale is a very nice Porsche 914 with 86,578 original miles. The engine is a 1.7 with original fuel injection system. I replaced the mechanical points with electronic and the car starts great and runs great for a 40 year old car. I have not professionally tuned the engine since I got the car as the porsche mechanic told me not to touch the injection system until it needs it. The Porsce has been restored by the previous owner with lots of new parts, seals, and bare metal paint job. The paint job has 2 chips and one small crack. Body is strraight and I could find only a small area on the right rear fender where some repair work had been done (see pictures). I replaced the Master Brake Cylinder with a new Porsche 911, replaced the brake fluid resevior, and replaced (1) fuel injector and some of the gas lines.
What it needs: 1. The fog lights did not work when I got the car and have not investigated the problem. 2. The heater control unit front face plate decal is worn. I have a nice used one for a replacement. 3. The right headlight motor is intermittent and only raise the headlite automatically about 50% of the time. I bought a replacement headlight motor that goes with the car.
Mechanically the car has lots of power and shifts smoothly through all the gears. Interior is in new condition and in great shape.
There is no warranty given or implied. I will gladly take the vehicle to some place locally to have it inspected at the buyers expense before the auction ends.
The bidding has a start price of $ 5,000.00/ The buyer is reponsible for all shipping costs.
Please email or call Mark at 406-245-6360 with any questions. Thanks for looking.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
