Great turn key hard to find unmolested original car with low miles.
this 1974 Porsche Euro 914 2.0 is in terrific condition and was very well cared for, unfortunately the owner passed away.
It is an original silver car with only one repaint. Always a garaged California car. The odometer works and shows 27,000.
The body is rust free and no sign of accidents or damage although there is a small depression ding on rear right quarter near the turn signal see photos.
It is very complete and everything works electrically, lights, turn signals, emergency warning, lighter ect..
Mechanically excellent, the original engine maintains its fuel injection and starts up on the first turn of the crank. It has a super nice tone thru a Monza style sport exhaust system. It has a really nice rumble to it...

It has fairly new tires all around on original 2.0 Fuchs alloy (5)wheels in excellent condition.
The 5 speed transmission shifts very smoothly in all gears at any speed with no grinding.
The GA code engine runs excellent with plenty of power, and is clean and tidy. Appears to be a low miler.
The battery was relocated to the front trunk to avoid any potential "hell hole" damage to develop.
All lights, fog lights, gauges and clock,  function as they should. The oem lenses look awesome.
The Targa top is in excellent condition and still fits nicely in the rear trunk over the spare Fuchs.
Body is strait smooth original panels with beautiful tight gaps with minimal chips. paint is 9/10.
The bumpers are strait and rubber tops are like new, no warping or chips.
Doors close tight and windows roll up quickly. All locks and keys function.
Original rubber seals in great condition, front widshield has a small spider crack on lower left side.
.
The interior is original except for the very comfortable Scheel type sport seat, perfectly holds you in tight turns.
The dash has some cracks but is still solid, it has a dash mat covering.
There was no records only the owners manual, a maintenance book and a tool kit.(included with the sale)
Title is free and clear. Collector blue plate NOT included.

The car is very quick and tight, the suspension feels very nice and handles wonderfully on mountain drives where this car really demonstrates its handling superiority. A real enjoyable experience and the best 914 I have ever driven, bar none.
Never mind that the 73-74 2.0's are rising fast in value, just buy it to drive it fast instead.

if serious email me with an offer or for a phone number for additional information

2017 Porsche 911 gains AWD traction for its turbos [w/video]

Wed, Oct 7 2015

The new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (in all its numerous iterations) joins its downsized, turbocharged, rear-drive brethren, but adds the benefit of an electro-hydraulically controlled all-wheel-drive system. These latest additions to the 911 family feature all updates applied to the new Carrera, both cosmetic and functional. The rear-end bodywork is also widened by 1.7 inches, with a light strip running across the tail. There are two engine choices, but either way you're getting a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six. The base version produces 370 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, while the S model cranks up to 420 hp and 368 lb-ft. Then you'll need to choose your transmission: seven-speed manual or dual-clutch. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) suspension comes standard, but the Sport Chrono package (which adds a 918-inspired drive mode selector switch on the steering wheel) is an option. Four-wheel steering is available on 4S models as well. And of course you'll need to choose between body-styles. There are three in all: coupe, convertible, or Targa – each available in either engine tune. Those are largely the same choices you'd have to have made for the previous models, but now they're faster and more powerful, while delivering up to 12-percent higher efficiency. Zero-to-60 times are down 0.3 seconds over the preceding, naturally aspirated models: the Carrera 4 is quoted at 3.9 seconds, and the 4S at just 3.6. Convertible and Targa models add 0.2 seconds to those times, with top speeds ranging from 178 to 189 miles per hour. Pricing for the US starts at $97,295 (with delivery) for the new 911 Carrera 4, and stretches all the way up to $123,595 for the Targa 4S. Don't feel the need to rush your decision though, as the all-wheel-drive 911s won't start hitting dealers Stateside until April of next year. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

THE PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4 AND 911 TARGA 4 MODELS WITH NEW TURBOCHARGED ENGINES AND ENHANCED ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMS ATLANTA, Oct. 6, 2015 -- With the new 2017 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Targa 4 models, the traction advantage courtesy of an enhanced all-wheel drive system is paired with innovative turbocharged engines that are more powerful and consume less fuel than their predecessors.

Porsche 911 driven by McQueen on Le Mans set for auction

Mon, Oct 19 2015

Another piece of Porsche memorabilia from the movie Le Mans is going up for auction with Christie's at The Exceptional Sale on Nov. 4 in Paris. This is a 1971 911 T that Steve McQueen used as his personal car during filming - it is not the 1970 911 S seen in the movie's opening sequence. It is one of the Porsches provided by two-time Le Mans winner and stunt driving double Jo Siffert. McQueen's production company CBS Solar Films bought the 911 T from Siffert, one of four 911s CBS Solar bought from the Swiss driver for use in and during filming. McQueen gifted the car to co-star and leading lady Elga Andersen. When she died in 1994 she willed it to her best friend, and the friend sold it to the current owner, who put it up for sale. None of them put the car to much use, as it has only 28,637 miles on the odometer, which is fewer than 55 miles per month for the last 44 years. The pre-sale estimate for this car is $284,000 to $397,000. By comparison, the 911 S used in the movie's opening sequence sold at auction in 2011 at Monterey for $1,375,000. In addition to being a relative bargain in that case, it comes with a scan of the original contract from Siffert to Anderson giving her the car, and a picture of McQueen and his son Chad with the coupe.

Mercedes-AMG GT S pit against Porsche 911 Turbo in Evo Deadly Rivals test

Fri, May 1 2015

When Mercedes-Benz announced that its all-new AMG GT would start at $129,900 deeply undercutting the $200,000-plus of its predecessor, the SLS AMG, immediate questions focused on how it'd stack up against the latest crop of high performers that occupy the mid-$100,000 range. Evo, over in the UK, didn't have to wait all that long. The latest installment in the outlet's "Deadly Rivals" series compares the AMG GT with the latest Porsche 911 Turbo. On paper, the test is sure to be interesting. The Mercedes uses a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 with 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, while a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch shuffles power to the back axle. The 911 Turbo's formula is more of a known quantity – 520 hp from a twin-turbo, 3.8-liter flat six with the company's own PDK working in unison with all-wheel drive, torque vectoring and rear-axle steering. Of course, we're not going to spoil the results for you. Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Evo's latest track battle.
