For sale is a 1975 Porsche 914 Barn Find. This car was on the road last in 2000. Previous owner said he bought the car in 1985 and enjoyed driving it for 15 years, then a few issues with the fuel injection system parked the car in 2000 and before you know it, its 2014 and time to move it on. The body is very straight and no damage and all panel gaps are even. Odometer reads 77,242 but I cannot verify that this is original mileage, but previous owner said it was correct. The interior is in great condition except for one small (1"x 1") tear in the drivers seat. Door panels and dash are in great condition, carpet is a little faded.

The previous owner said he had the car repainted in 1999, and for the most part the paint looks fine, but there are a few places where rust has bubbled through around the bottom of the window and around the top of the doors. The floor boards are solid and rust free. Rockers look rust free and I have jacked the car up using the factory jack system and there is no issue in that area. Front trunk must have had a rust issue in the bottom of the spare tire area, as the previous owner had cut out a section and never got around to finishing the repair. I can not get the rear trunk hatch to open, so can not say what its like, other than it looks solid from under side. Both door locks do not work from the out side, but work fine from the inside, previous owner told me that was a common 914 problem and it needed a small new part to fix them. Brakes are rusty and will need over hauling. Battery tray is total rusted out, typical 914 problem. The exhaust system is also rusted out from sitting for 14 years. I did not try to start the engine or shift the transmission, but previous owner said they both worked fine when he parked it in 2000 to fix the fuel injection. Wheels are standard 914 aluminum with almost new tires. All gauges and lights look fine, however, I didn't install a battery to check them out. Car seems to be very original and I have the original ignition key. I purchased this car with the hopes of building a track car, but life has got in the way and need to move this car on to someone who will restore it. The car does not run, drive or stop, so it will need to be towed away. The car includes the original jack and tool set as well as a spare tire and aluminum wheel.

Title is a clear Florida title.

A $500 deposit to PayPal is required from the buyer within 24 hours of the winning bid, and remainder in cash, PayPal or money order before pick up of car.

Transportation is at buyers expense, and car will have to be towed as it does not run or stop.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?

Well hello, Carice, you Porsche-aping EV cutie

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Ah, the joy that comes open-air motoring with the in your hair and the roar of the exhaust behind you. Well, maybe not as much anymore. In recent years, vehicles like the Tesla Roadster have made the concept of the electric sports car palatable. Now, Dutch automaker Carice is following suit with a classically inspired EV speedster called the MK1. The MK1 clearly wears its design inspiration on its sleeve. It would be difficult to look at this styling and not immediately see a Porsche 356 Speedster; It has the same upside-down bathtub shape with big round headlights and likely the tiniest taillights on a production car in years. The Carice is also clearly meant for fair weather motoring because there's no top, just a tonneau cover to protect the interior from the rain while it's sitting. One thing that the Dutch company is definitely getting right is the weight. It claims that the MK1 weighs a dainty 772 pounds, including the battery pack. The low weight doesn't mean the MK1 is going to be lighting quick, though. It's being offered with a choice of three electric motors with 5 horsepower (for 16-year-old drivers in the Netherlands), 20 hp or 53 hp, and there are two sizes of battery pack. Buyers can also opt for a range-extending internal combustion engine. The 53-hp motor allows for a top speed of 62 miles per hour and a 124-mile range with the larger battery. Carice says its also willing to fit larger batteries or more power motors, at the buyer's expense, of course. Carice plans to build an initial production run of 10 cars with prices starting at 22,000 euros, before Dutch taxes (about $30,000). The company hasn't released a press release about the MK1, but you can learn more about speedster on its website; it's in Dutch, though.
