Porsche Other 914-6 on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
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.

Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
This is how the new turbo Porsche 911 Carrera sounds
Sun, Sep 13 2015We have our first audio sample of the turbocharged flat-six engine in the standard Porsche 911 Carrera. By way of reminder, the boosted 3.0-liter engines will put out 370 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque in entry-level guise, 420 ponies and 368 lb-ft in the S models. To our ears, it sounds good. Yes, it's a commercial, true, we don't know what audio trickery the agency whipped up during post-production. But the sound in the commercial is good. Besides, Porsche knows what it's doing. Every time the brand breaks one of the purist's laws, the 911 accelerates through the wailing and gnashing of teeth to sell better than ever. Heck, the company's own engineers tried to beat the 911 with the introduction of the arguably much better 928, and we see how that turned out. So no matter what we think of the commercial, we have a feeling the sound of the turbocharged standard 911 will remain the same mythical siren to enthusiast ears around the world. On top of that, the new coupe and convertible are quicker, faster, more powerful, and still come with a seven-speed manual transmission if you choose. Porsche might taketh away, but to make up for it they giveth and giveth and giveth. Check out the noises in the video above, and some more of the advanced features on the new 911 in the video below.
