Rare car in this condition. As you are more than aware these 914's were driven hard for many years and for the most part thrashed. So to find one in this excellent condition is very rare. The car was painted fire engine red before I owned her and paint is still very shiny and clean. The targa top and sides were also painted all vinyl has been removed. I have owned her for over 21 years and when purchased in 1993 had dual carbs on it. Of course California has smog issues, so by 1997 the carbs had to go and the motor had a lot of miles on it. I was told rather than start trying to fix the issues, it was much better to just replace the entire motor with a factory fuel injection 2.0 motor. This motor was done by someone still in business and well respected in the porsche community George Vellios in Gardena CA. Motor is very strong and now has approx 1800 miles on the new motor. When the motor was done, so was the ball socket @ transmission. Then new tires front and back, and all front end parts, bushings, shocks, brakes and the exhaust system complete from motor to catalytic converter and chrome pipe. Car has been one of many cars in my stable. I have owned and still own 6 cars, corvettes, muscle cars and several classics. This car was NEVER raced, or driven fast or hard, because I have always had faster muscle cars, so this car was truly admired and babied. 2000-2007 car mostly sat in the garage at my home or at my warehouse at my office. The car had been driven monthly to car shows or to the beach, to keep it nimble. 2007 I had knee surgery and from that point on it was much more difficult to drive the stick. 2007 I ran out of room in California for cars, so I trailered it to my home in Lake Havasu, AZ, summer home to be stored in the garage right next to the boat. Occasionally I would drive it to car shows in Lake Havasu or just local cruises when the weather was cooler. Of course like any car that sits around, when you start to drive it, being almost 40 years old, it started to need things and because I am not a mechanic and have never worked on the car myself, I had to find a trusted Porsche mechanic in Lake Havasu, so I started asking around. I found well respected and well known Porsche mechanic Matt Adragna, who has been working on Porsches FOR EVER and rarely didnt have a Porsche or two in the garage at his home that he was working on for his friends too. 4/2010 - took to Matts shop, where he did a complete oil change, tune up with cap, rotor, wires, points condenser kit, new plugs, adjusted valves, replaced rocker cover gaskets, set timing, replaced fuel lines for cross over., vacuum lines, fuel hoses, throttle position switch, ECU from reputable company called BRAG. He renewed all grounds and made it run right. 12/2013 - Car needed to get more work done on it and found Mark Tuttle, who has been working on Porsches for over 40 years. He took the car and really went through it. Actually while doing the work, he had several offers on the car to buy it, but nobody came up to bat with a true real price to get it. Mark rebushed the pedal clusters, replaced the clutch cable and had a "special" sheath put over the cable to prevent the cable from rubbing and shearing the cable. A reputable guy named Gerhardt (not sure of spelling) came from northern California on the way to visit family in Arizona, stopped on christmas break to install the sheath. New fuel pump was replaced, as well as the throttle body, oil cooler gaskets and cold start injector. A new battery was added as well. Hell holes were punch tested, and I have a lot of pictures I can send of the inside of the car, seats, dash, trunk, under the car, engine areas etc. Car is now ready for someone to come enjoy it. All parts are on it. Cars needs very little, but to make it a #1 car this is what is needed that I am aware of. Targa rubber seal that is on top of windshield and rubber around windows. It does have 1 spot of rust just starting to appear under windshield trim, directly under the wiper blade Will need a stitch on 1 small spot on the drivers seat, 1 small spot on the passenger door. This is by far one of the nicest 914 2.0 cars I have ever seen, including the ones I have seen at Barrett Jackson or Meccum auctions going for BIG BUCKS. Hagerty rates #2 car $19,000 - $20,000. |

Fri, 09 Aug 2013Porsche is continuing celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of its iconic 911. In its latest video, it's gone to Taiwan, to interview some of the folks that have grown passionate about the rear-engined sportscar over the years.

These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Recharge Wrap-up: Big Oil fails at renewable fuel, scientists study air with EVs, plug-in Panamera sales
Thu, Jul 10 2014Big Oil companies help keep renewable fuels out of your tank, a new report shows. No surprise there, right? The Renewable Fuels Association published a report card grading the country's largest retail gasoline chains on fuel offerings like E85 and E15. The report gave failing grades, with less than one percent of stations offering E15 or E85, to "Big Five" companies Exxon, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Shell, among other oil company and convenience/grocery store brands. The only major oil companies that didn't get an "F" were Valero (D), Cenex (B), and Marathon (A-). The eight companies that scored an A+ had at least 25 percent of their stations offering E85 or E15.

Beginning July 4, University of Leicester researchers began driving electric vehicles kitted out with special sensors to monitor air quality throughout the city (similar to how California does it). Now their emissions-free daily driving duties double as data collection for their studies. "By monitoring air quality as a seamless part of our daily transport system, we are providing a cost-effective way to help inform future policy and operational systems," says the University's Dr. Roland Leigh.

"There is no doubt electric cars are the future." – Nissan's Andy Palmer Nissan is exploring the idea of taking its Leaf EV to India, but a lack of charging options is an obstacle. According to Nissan's chief planning officer Andy Palmer, "There is no doubt electric cars are the future. The product is there, what we need is infrastructure. Charging is a big challenge." Though Nissan stopped short of saying it (this time), this could possibly mean working with Mahindra, which said it is open to collaborating with other companies concerning EVs. Learn more in this article from the Hindustan Times and know that India is rolling out a plan to encourage the production and adoption of EVs. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan will get over $2 billion in funding, and some of that will go toward creating a charging infrastructure (you hear that, Nissan?). This is good news for EV manufacturers, India's economy and people who enjoy breathing clean air.
