1975 Porsche 914 2.0 Fuel Injected Justin 503-969-5127 Hello
eBay! Thanks for checking out my
listing. Those of you that follow me
know that I have a thing for the 914s.
Yes, I am a fan. I know all the
great and all the bad and all the in between too. Some purists and enthusiasts out there will
not like this car because of some of the changes made. I understand and apologize up front for
this. Please hold back you scornful
comments I know this car well and am going to present it EXACTLY as it is. This is a
1974 Porsche 914 2.0 with its factory installed GA code engine and fuel
injection. The car is matching numbers;
Chassis, Engine, and Transmission. The
car has recently been repainted in its original L13K Summer Yellow. I believe this is the cars 3rd
paint job as somewhere back down the road it was painted Berber Yellow L11D. This color is still seen under the rear trunk
lid. I don’t know who did this or why it
happened. The paint on the car now is
really nice. The car looks fantastic,
but there are several changes from original that I would like to point out. The sail material has been deleted. Also the targa top has been finished smooth
and painted to match the body color. The
brake calipers have also been painted to match.
The Porsche graphic was also added.
Both the trunks have been covered in line X or some such material. I can tell that a panel was repaired in the
rear trunk. Presumably from rust, the
material may have been used to cover the repair. The front looks original so maybe they
sprayed there to just match them. I don’t
know for sure. The floor boards have
also been sprayed from the top side. Underneath
looks pretty good so again I am not sure of all the reasons for the changes I
can just report on the condition. The battery
was also relocated to a spot in the rear trunk.
This was a popular decision in the past as the trays would rust from the
acid in the battery and beneath that is the “Hell Hole” the Achilles’s heel of 914s..
This one looks fine. What would happen
is the battery would leak and then rust this area that is part of the suspension
of the car. The worry of this caused
many to relocate the battery as prevention.
I think that
the cosmetic condition will impress anybody when they consider the age of the
car and also the value. If you know
yourself to be a perfectionist and are always striving for this please
understand that this car is not there.
It is nice and could be shown at cruise inns, but it is not a show car. The interior
is very clean and tidy. The seats are
supple and the proper basketweave. The
carpet is nice and bright and clean. The
dash’s cracks are limited to 3 and are not bothersome or unsightly. The wipers and heat and blinkers and
headlights all work properly. The miles
show 17,915 and I believe them to be over the mechanical limits once. Both seats don’t have the adjustment loops
anymore but can easily be moved by pressing the underside release. The engine
starts easily and runs strong. It drips
about a dime size drip every few days.
It never smokes or knocks or has difficulties. The 2.0 is the favored 4 cylinder of these
cars for many reasons, but the performance is the reason for me. I would go so far as to say it’s actually torquey. The later cars, like this one, also have the
advantage of the side shifter transmission.
They are far superior to the tail shift version. This one has an easy time with all of the gears
and all the syncros match perfectly. The
clutch is also very tight and has the perfect 1’’ of freeplay at the top. The wheels
are beautiful and original there is no curb rash or scars or bends. The tires are fair.. Tires are inexpensive and would be the first
expense I would lavish on this car if I were to keep it. So, what
else does the car need? What would I
do?? I have lots of ideas.. Everyone’s tastes are different. The car is nice as it is.. The good thing is the car is mechanically
sound and solid. It also looks
great. I am a purest and a guy that
thinks that originality is key. I would
replace the sail material because I like that look. I would blast off the line x material from
the trunks and finish them in the proper color.
In this step I would also replace the factory battery tray and put in an
Optima battery (they never leak).. I would
source a second top in black and switch them out depending on my mood, and I
would buy a set of Pirelli P4s.. Down
the line I might back date the bumpers to chrome.. There are lots of options with this
car.. Its either a great driver as it is
or a great start to something fantastic.
BOTH MAYBE!! It’s up to the new
owner. I am selling
the Porsche with a LOW RESERVE and I know the little car will sell the first go
around as long as we all play by these rules.

World's largest toy car collection is in Beirut, and it's remarkable
Fri, Jan 31 2014It's common for auto enthusiasts to have a few miniatures of their favorite cars around their home or office. They provide a respite of happiness knowing that if you can't have the real things, at least you can look at them in miniature. However, Billy Karam of Beirut, Lebanon, has taken collecting toy cars to its extreme. His collection of over 30,000 model cars and 400 dioramas is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest collection of car toys. "You cannot buy the big ones, so you buy a thousand of the small ones instead," says Karam in the video. Karam is a former amateur racing driver with a weakness for all things Porsche, and many of his dioramas depict races that he drove in or attended. Looking at them gives him a chance to relive the experiences again, but unlike a photo or video, they are right there in three dimensions. Scroll down to watch this astounding Cool Hunting video narrated by the collection's captivating owner. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Porsche updates Macan range to match new GTS
Thu, Nov 5 2015Porsche just rolled out the new Macan GTS, packing a number of enhancements and updates. But while some of those revisions remain limited to that specific model, others are being shared across the Macan range. Chief among the updates to the Macan is the new Porsche Communication System, which was introduced on the latest 911 variants, then on the Macan GTS, and now on the rest of the small crossover lineup. The system centers around a seven-inch touchscreen display and integrates onboard wifi, Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity, and a new 3D navigation interface. The revised Macan can also be had with full dynamic LED headlights instead of the bi-xenon units. Finally, Porsche is also offering some new accessories for the Macan Turbo, including new interior and exterior packages, as pictured in the gallery above. There are new 21-inch wheels, trim pieces, and smoked rear lights for the outside, and Alcantara trim and other special touches for the cabin as well. The updates and packages are being rolled out initially in Porsche's home market, but should be arriving Stateside as well in due course. Exclusive exterior and interior packages for the Macan Turbo More functionality and individuality for the Porsche Macan Stuttgart. Porsche is significantly upgrading the Macan. To coincide with the world premiere of the Macan GTS at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, the new model year of the compact SUV is also receiving enhanced infotainment and comfort features. The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) now comes in the Macan as well. Just a short while ago, the system celebrated its debut in the 911. Highlights are real-time route navigation, simplified operation and an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot. Porsche is also offering new full-LED headlights as an option for all models of the sporty SUV. Greater comfort and functionality are augmented by a bonus in sportiness. A re-engineered steering controller provides a more direct handling experience and improved contact with the road. Extended exterior and interior packages are available as options exclusively for the Macan Turbo. Now customers can introduce even more individual styling to their vehicle. The new PCM generation: easier operation and improved connectivity The centrepiece of the infotainment system that comes as standard in all Macan models is the new, high-resolution seven-inch touchscreen. The redesigned user interface employs intuitive operation, similar to that of a smartphone.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
