A RARE GEM AND THE PERFECT COLLECTOR CAR

This is an excellent example (not a concourse car but very original and in incredible shape for its age) of an original 1974 914 2.0L California blue plate car that runs and drives great. This 914 is fitted with it's original engine number 014234 and all the original fuel injection is in place and working correctly.

When I purchased this car it was (and still is) arrow straight with no rust and only had a few minor dings and paint scratches and I wanted it perfect so we recently detrimmed the entire exterior, including bumpers, body seals, top seals, sail panels and the car was re sprayed in its original color of sunflower yellow. We stripped all paint off to the metal (verified car is accident free, and rust free including all known problem areas including the "hell" hole and lower sills). We replaced almost 95% of all exterior body/top seals in the process including new vinyl sail panels. Car has the desireable Fuchs alloy wheels and tires have great tread remaining.

This car is all original except for the following:

- Aftermarket steering wheel (original included but plastic horn surround is detached)

- Aftermarket mirror (original included), radio antenna, and carpet was replaced with an appropriate reproduction that looks the same as original.

It also has the Porsche dealer/port installed A/C system from the period, the compressor turns freely but system does not blow cold. The engine runs great and shifts in to all gears with no problems. I just had most engine vacuum hoses replaced along with a valve adjustment and oil change.

Now a little bit of history. This 1974 Porsche 914 was purchased originally in California and was owned by original owner and stored in air conditioned warehouse along with a large collection of other vehicles until the owners passing, then it was sold at his estate sale and the car was purchased by 2nd owner and transported to N.C. in 2004 and remained indoors until my purchase in 2012. The odometer works correctly and I believe the mileage to be accurate and not turned over but obviously cannot be sure of that, as no records accompanied the car from original estate sale. I am available by email to answer any questions or provide any additional information not listed. A Porsche Certificate of authenticity accompanies the car

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.

Porsche releases new images of LMP1 racecar

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Porsche has released another batch of images of its LMP1 competitor preparing for its debut season in 2014. This isn't the first we've seen of the new car, as June saw four images of the new racer undergoing testing. Where those images looked merely like someone taking pics during the test, the 11 new images seen above have all the hallmarks of highly polished PR shots.
That aside, the camo-covered cars still provide another look at what the new LMP1 car will look like when it arrives next season. The taillights follow the example set by Audi, by vertically mounting ultra-thin LEDs on the tips of the rear wing, while the LED headlights sport the four-prong look that Porsche has been pushing of late. Besides those two items, its difficult to make out many details due to the amount of camo.
Porsche's LMP1 effort will be focused on the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will see the revered brand return to the top flights of the 24 Hours Of Le Mans with F1 ace Mark Webber behind the wheel. As we've mentioned before, the German brand has set up a dedicated microsite that will cover its newest racer's progress.

Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
