I’m about through downsizing my collection and have saved the best for last. I bought this red 1972 Porsche 914 from California and, like many cars from the West coast, is rust free. Although its body condition makes it a rarity in itself; that is not what makes this car unique. What adds tremendous value is the engine… a 1965 date coded 911 engine that is in excellent running condition. Like all air cooled Porsches, 914’s are rising in value and this car is a great one to have. With this car you get not only the 914 looks and handling you also get an engine that is worth possibly as much as the car itself. Let me list the attributes of this excellent machine. First of all, this car was won “1st Place People’s Choice Modified 914” at Okteenerfest 2013. The car was driven from SC to TN and back that weekend with no issues and all while achieving close to 30 mpg. I have attached pictures from my drives on the Tail of the Dragon!

Electrical:
Suspension: This car handles exceptionally well! I’ve owned approximately 10 914’s and this one handles better than all of them
Engine: Okay…here is the money shot….the differentiator…the reason this car is unique
The Bad: No heat. Because the car has a Burch exhaust system there is no provision for having heat. Of course, that should be an issue for 90% of the people looking at the car since this car should be used on those days when you can take the top off and ride through twisty roads!! The Previous Owner created a website documenting the work he performed on this car. See the link below: http://talking-dog.com/tim/914/ In summary, this is a 914 in excellent condition that can be driven across the country as it sits…seriously. The engine is a genuine 1965 engine. I was offered a large (IMHO) sum of money for the engine over a year ago. With engine prices continuing to rise the engine value has to have only increased since then. I am also open to an engine swap. I will accept a proven and running 911 engine (2.7, 3.0, etc.) plus cash for this engine. No warranty expressed or implied. Buyer pays shipping (I will work with overseas buyers). Payment via cash, wire, or check with plenty of time to clear before you get the car.

2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS proves performance is relative
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Turbo may be the most powerful model in the Cayenne range, but the GTS is arguably the enthusiast's choice. (In so far as a 4,500-pound crossover can be considered an "enthusiast's choice," anyway.) And now, after refreshing the rest of the Cayenne lineup, Porsche has revealed the new Cayenne GTS, alongside its new 911 GTS stablemate, here at the LA Auto Show. Like the new Cayenne S, the new GTS drops the previous version's atmospheric V8 for a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, but ups the output to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to propel Zuffenhausen's portliest to 62 in a scant 5.2 seconds. Alongside the power upgrade, the GTS gets a lowered air suspension and sportier exhaust, the beefier brakes from the Cayenne Turbo and an upgraded aero kit to help with the whole barn-door-profile thing. Just don't expect all that extra kit and the prestige of a Porsche badge on your crossover to come cheap, with prices starting at $95,500 (plus $995 destination).
Bentley tests next next-gen Flying Spur on Porsche Panamera Turbo body
Fri, Oct 21 2016At first glance, the prototype in the gallery above looks like a blacked-out version of the new Porsche Panamera Turbo. But this is actually Bentley's tester for the next-gen Flying Spur. And since the upcoming Flying Spur, among other Bentley vehicles, will utilize the same MSB platform as the new Porsche, seeing the British automaker using a Panamera makes a lot of sense. The Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which has design cues from the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It's safe to assume that the next-gen Flying Spur will get the same treatment as well. Other than the fender flares, the prototype is identical to the Panamera Turbo. So how do we know that this is Bentley's prototype? According to our photographers, the prototype's license plate is registered as a Bentley with the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. With the Flying Spur sharing the same platform as the Panamera, we expect the luxury sedan to get the same choice of engines, including the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. A concept is anticipated to come out in 2017 with a production variant coming a year later.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
