      1976 Porsche 914   2.0L  68,661 miles w/Air Conditioning
You are bidding on a 1976 Porsche 914. This is a great car and with very rare working A/C. The car has been driven very little since the early 90's but was run in its garage regularly. The engine runs great and has the usual seepage oil leaks but no dripping oil and is very clean burning with no smoke. The transmission shifts perfect and clutch works perfect. There is a little leak from the speedometer drive on the transmission but fluid is clean and full. The suspension, shocks, bushings, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc are in good condition with nothing loose or worn. Brakes are good but squeak a little on slow breaking. I suspect from rust on the rotors from not been driven very much. The interior is almost perfect and certainly for its age is in very good condition. There is one small crack on the top of the instrument cluster housing and the dash has no cracks. There are a couple of nicks in the seats and center pad which are shown in the pictures. Door panels are perfect. Carpet is in good condition. You can see from the pictures the overall condition of the interior is excellent. The top and door seals are very good except the passenger side seal from the top down to the door. Pictured. Anybody that knows these cars always checks the battery tray and the subsequent rust trail from the battery tray to the back corner of the passenger seat. On this car it is very clean and no rust is evident. I took a couple of pictures to show this. Both trunks are perfect and look like they just come off the showroom floor. Now the body!!!. The body and chassis on this car are rust free. The bumpers are in great shape but need a little buffing to get the shine back. The overall look of the car as you can see in the pictures is almost perfect. But there are a couple of flaws. A shopping cart dent below the mirror on the left door and one below the door handle on the right side. With its color you have to be close and with the correct light angle to see them. Also the front hood has had a repaint at sometime in its life and it was not done very well. Again with the correct light and angle there is some trash and sanding lines that can be seen. It may be able to be buffed out??? From the pictures you can not see them so I mention it here. Overall this car has a great look and presents its self very well but will require a TLC on the cosmetics to be a perfect car !!! I work very hard to present my cars as best as possible and my customers have been very happy with their purchases so if you have any questions please ask them before you bid and keep my rating at 100% positive !!!

Will the Mission E be the world's first must-have EV?

Fri, Feb 5 2016

The Porsche Mission E concept was recently green-lit for production and has a tentative production date just before the end of the decade. With the recent onslaught of all-electric technology, the question remains: Which automaker will release the first must have all-electric EV? Tesla has clearly gained experience in testing the worldwide appetite for luxury, six-figure EVs, having sold its 100,000th vehicle in just three years and six months. But it remains to be seen if automakers can truly manufacture the ultimate green driving machine. Audi has shown its R8 e-tron but acknowledged that it will be produced in only limited quantities. On the other end of the spectrum, vehicles like the Chevy Bolt and BMW i8 are being produced for mass consumption, but will they satisfy the enthusiast who is looking for more than a commuter car? Tesla's Model S has certainly raised eyebrows and collected accolades with "ludicrous" level straight-line performance, but how well will the vehicle stand up to long-term ownership for enthusiasts? Porsche has dismissed any notions of autonomous driving in its vehicles, suggesting that it will try to stay close to its high-performance roots. This would seem to suggest that despite all the forecasted performance cred of the Mission E – 582 horsepower, 0–60 in 3.5 seconds, and a 310-mile range – potential buyers may not be getting the latest and greatest in gee-whiz-bang autonomous technology. And while Porsche has offered that future iterations of its 911 and 718 may in fact use hybrid-assisted drivetrains, the execution of a true, mass-produced, all-electric sports sedan remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, unlike start-ups like Tesla, the larger, more established manufacturers have larger budgets and more time to invest in R&D. Consumers have raised expectations from the more mature automakers in terms of reliability and the overall finish of their products. The arrival of the Mission E production car may introduce us to electric sports sedans that emphasize performance over efficiency while still eliminating its carbon footprint.

Audi spearheads development of an ultra-luxurious EV code-named Landjet

Tue, Nov 17 2020

The rumors claiming Audi wants to release a model positioned above the A8, and the reports of an ongoing electric car development program called Artemis internally, have seemingly converged. Citing sources inside the carmaker, a German media outlet reported the firm is busily creating a super-luxurious EV code-named Landjet. Audi is leading the development process, but sister companies Bentley and Porsche will reportedly receive their own version of the Landjet. All three models will likely take the form of three-row SUVs with generous dimensions. They'll be so big that none of Audi's production facilities will be able to manufacture them, according to an anonymous insider who spoke with German newspaper Handelsblatt. Luckily, Volkswagen makes vans, too. It's too early to tell what will power the Landjets. Audi assigned some of its most brilliant engineers to Project Artemis, and the technology they develop will permeate the three EVs before trickling down into cheaper models in the group. Expect high performance, a high driving range, and semi-automated driving technology. If the report is accurate, the Landjet vehicles will enter production in Hanover, Germany, by the end of 2024. The facility currently makes the Volkswagen Transporter, which is a direct descendant of the rear-engined Bus sold for decades, and it will start manufacturing the production version of the ID.Buzz concept in the coming years. Volkswagen hasn't commented on the report, and car companies rarely address speculation, but its Commercial Vehicles division released a statement in November 2020 that confirms the Hanover site will begin building SUVs about halfway through the 2020s. It's a major shift for a factory normally tasked with manufacturing vans. "Our main plant in Hanover is becoming the production site for three completely new premium electric vehicles in the Group. These D-SUVs are genuine flagship projects: premium, 100% electric, and highly automated," said Carsten Intra, the head of Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles division, in a statement. He added the firm will invest about 680 million euros (about $807 million) to build a new assembly line, among other upgrades.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
