1976 Porsche 914 2.0 looks and runs great. Strong running motor and great handling of a mid engine sports car. Can't out-run a 911, but you can out-corner one! No tail happy rear engine over-steer here. I would describe this car as "refurbished" but not restored. Overall a very original survivor.

This is the last year of Porsche's mid-engine rear drive entry level sports car. You will have a hard time finding one in this condition! It has a lot of desirable features including:

2.0 flat 4 air-cooled engine. Runs very strong. It does not have the original fuel injection, but instead has a reliable dual Weber carburetor set up. A few notable improvements include the "Flamethrower" electronic ignition and new distributor. Has an aftermarket 4 pipe sport exhaust. Passed Colorado emissions test in December 2012.

Original Fuchs aluminum wheels with newer Continental Contipro Contact 195/65 R15 91H sport tires with very good tread. Even the spare is a Fuchs.

The car has been painted once in the original color with new decals. The paint job is very good, with a few very minor blemishes. Silver is the right color for this car. Chrome and rubber bits are in good, solid shape.

5 Speed transmission with solid gearbox. New shifter bushings throughout.

This car has TWO trunks! It has pretty good storage for such a small car. Will hold 2 sets golf clubs or a weekends worth of luggage.

Rust free and always garaged. The body is very straight and panel fit is outstanding. I have no reason to believe it has ever had an accident.

Suspension received major service in December. New trailing arm bushings, wheel bearings, rear springs, control arm bushings, alignment, ride height adjustment.

This model came LOADED in 1976. Leather seats, fog lights, air conditioning,

Dealer installed air conditioning with recent recharge. Not overpowering, but blows cold air. Using it is silly because of ease of targa top removal (4 clips to undo, and stores in rear trunk. Removal and installation takes about 1 minute and can be done without help)

This auction includes original manual, several good books, and a 914 T Shirt showing the funky shift pattern.

Full Disclosure Stuff (known issues)

Leaks a little engine oil

Minor paint blemishes on rear deck lid. Once had a rear luggage rack bolted through it, and welding repairs are only fair.

Heater blower motor does not work

High beam headlights do not work (Low Beams, brake lights, taillights, indicators, fog lights work fine)

Front and rear rubber bumper covers are faded

Fuse box cover missing

First gear is a little difficult to shift into when cold

Original stereo is lost to the ages. It has an older Yamaha AM/FM/Cassette with 4 new Pioneer speakers that do work. The sound of the motor over your right shoulder and rush of air in your ears should make up for this.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
