This is a great and rare 914-6 that has been in California most if not all of its life. Originally a black example as evidenced by the "80" stamped into Karmann doorsill tag, and no evidence of another color in jams or seems. Its first owner was the owner/founder of Hubbard's European in Eureka, CA. He sold it to current owner in 1986 when $ was needed. It was maintained and serviced by Hubbard's until 2012 when his widow brought it down to San Diego after he passed and told her "to please never sell it." Well, the time has come unfortunately for it to find a new home and someone who hopefully will restore it and bring it back to near 100%. The Good: We believe that the engine (# 6404835) is the original that it left Germany with. I had a local air-cooled specialist here in San Diego check it out and said, "if i was a betting man in Vegas, i would bet some good $ that it is." I however cannot guarantee that since i do not have the COA, yet. I ordered it 5 days ago. It handles and drives with ease, however the engine could use a good tune and the carbs re-built. I have driven it probably 150 miles in the last 10-12 days. Factory optioned 'Sport' Drivers Seat. Although the car originally started off as "Ivory", it shows no evidence of the paint and the current Black was done very well as you cannot see Ivory anywhere, and no evidence of prior accident damage. Has the original jack in the trunk. Floorpans have no holes, only light surface orange. Tachometer and Speedometer work. Most, if not all service records/receipts from 1986 to current. Brake calipers front & rear were just re-built with new rotors ($3,000). New fuel pressure regulator 2 weeks ago ($150). It is currently registered in California with California title in-hand. Recent Compression Test Results: #1: 110psi #2: 100psi #3: 120psi #4: 90psi #5: 90psi #6: 70psi The Less Good: Surface rusting, and light to moderate rust around front windshield seals. Not through the panels though, so that is good. Steering wheel not original. Nakamichi cassette radio not original. Black is not the original paint color. "GT" fenders are fiberglass and not original, but are high-quality as the gaps are consistent. Wheels are Mags that were popular in the late '70's and '80's but are not original. The front hood wont' open as of about 5 days ago. The cable must have snapped (good thing i got a photo of the front boot before that occurred.) Odometer is not functioning and is stuck at 33,xxx miles and has been since 1989. It was not driven much however, so I am placing the approximate mileage at about 50,000-70,000 miles max. I tried to be as thorough as possible. If you have any questions, please e-mail me and i will do my best do answer. Thank you for viewing!

Again, no evidence of the car being Silver.On Jun-22-15 at 12:24:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I just got off the phone with Porsche's COA department and they confirmed that the current engine #6404835 IS the original engine. So yes, it IS matching numbers.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble Â– features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
