I’m about through downsizing my collection and have saved the best for last. I bought this red 1972 Porsche 914 from California and, like many cars from the West coast, is rust free. Although its body condition makes it a rarity in itself; that is not what makes this car unique. What adds tremendous value is the engine… a 1965 date coded 911 engine that is in excellent running condition. Like all air cooled Porsches, 914’s are rising in value and this car is a great one to have. With this car you get not only the 914 looks and handling you also get an engine that is worth possibly as much as the car itself. Let me list the attributes of this excellent machine. First of all, this car was won “1st Place People’s Choice Modified 914” at Okteenerfest 2013. The car was driven from SC to TN and back that weekend with no issues and all while achieving close to 30 mpg. I have attached pictures from my drives on the Tail of the Dragon!

Interior:
Electrical:
Suspension: This car handles exceptionally well! I’ve owned approximately 10 914’s and this one handles better than all of them
Engine: Okay…here is the money shot….the differentiator…the reason this car is unique
The Bad: No heat. Because the car has a Burch exhaust system there is no provision for having heat. Of course, that should be an issue for 90% of the people looking at the car since this car should be used on those days when you can take the top off and ride through twisty roads!! The Previous Owner created a website documenting the work he performed on this car. See the link below: http://talking-dog.com/tim/914/ In summary, this is a 914 in excellent condition that can be driven across the country as it sits…seriously. The engine is a genuine 1965 engine. I was offered a large (IMHO) sum of money for the engine over a year ago. With engine prices continuing to rise the engine value has to have only increased since then. I am also open to an engine swap. I will accept a proven and running 911 engine (2.7, 3.0, etc.) plus cash for this engine. No warranty expressed or implied. Buyer pays shipping (I will work with overseas buyers). Payment via cash, wire, or check with plenty of time to clear before you get the car.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
Porsche Classic to offer vintage 911 dashboards
Tue, Jun 2 2015Porsche Classic already offers everything from oil specifically for the brand's air-cooled models to GPS navigation units for them. For restorers looking for just the right piece, the division is now also selling replacement dashboards for early 911s. Fitting models from 1969 to 1975, these dashboards aren't 100-percent original replacements. Instead, Porsche Classic reengineered the part with a modern substructure to hold up better to the sun, temperature changes, and humidity. The outer surface still looks entirely correct, though, to fit the design of these vintage air-cooled coupes. Porsche Classic is selling them for $1,353, but the the windshield needs to come out for installation. While the price may sound steep, it appears to be right in line with other dashboard replacements for the vintage 911. The Porsche specialists at Stoddard offer an example for $1,325 and list a factory part for $1,501.29. Shopping around might be worthwhile, though, because another website already seems to show the Porsche Classic unit with a markdown to $1,150. Porsche Classic Recreates Dashboard for Historic 911 June 1, 2015 New dashboard built to original specifications Atlanta. It is back: Porsche Classic is reproducing the dashboard for vintage 911 models from years 1969 to 1975. A sophisticated manufacturing process combines high quality meeting today's standards and a design that is true to the original. The new dashboard consists of a modern substructure and the original surface design. The fluted texture, tactile feel, gloss and shade of black are designed to be as close as possible to the original. The new part is now available to be ordered from any authorized Porsche dealer in the United States. MSRP is $1,353 plus any applicable taxes, shipping, and handling. Like the technical equipment, the classic vehicles' interiors are subject to normal wear. Solar radiation as well as fluctuations in temperature and humidity attack the surface and materials over time. Today's materials hold up better; therefore, to help preserve the long-term value of classic Porsche cars, Porsche Classic re-engineered the dashboard. Extensive tests conducted to modern standards assure precision fit and quality. As an original equipment part, the dashboard, which contains the loudspeaker cover, can only be installed by the original assembly procedure – which involves removing the windshield.
This FL man accused of stealing drivers licenses has best tattoo ever
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Bentley and Porsche are two of the jewels in Volkswagen Group's luxury brand crown, but in Florida they also have a very tenuous connection with crime. With his multiple face and neck tattoos, including a Bentley logo right between his eyes, Derek Denesevich (pictured above) has been charged with the surprising crime of alleged identity theft. He recently surrendered to a Florida court, and could face seven years in prison, if convicted.
You might wonder where Porsche fits into this. According to the Sun Sentinel, Denesevich's accomplice was one Porscha Kyles, who worked for the Broward Clerk of Courts. She allegedly used her access to driver's license records to steal information and sell it to Denesevich. He is then accused of filing fraudulent income taxes to recoup the refund checks.
According to the Sentinel, Kyles has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy and identity theft and was sentenced to three years and one day in prison. The duo reportedly stole over 100 identities and made at least $120,000. Scroll down for a video about this pair of auto-related criminals.
