1975 PORSCHE 914

NO RESERVE !

THIS CAR IS MY SON'S CAR SO HERE IS HIS DESCRIPTION

HERE IS MY PORSCHE. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER. THE 914 WAS MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE CAR AND WHEN THIS ONE CAME UP LOCALLY I JUMPED AT IT. EVEN THOUGH I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE EXCITED, CRAMMING MY 6'3" 215 POUND FRAME INTO IT EVERYDAY HAS BECOME MORE IMPRACTICAL THEN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. (SEE PICTURE) .... SO NOW IT HAS TO GO. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE JEEP YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO GO WITH NO RESERVE. HIGH BIDDER DRIVES IT HOME!

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE SECOND OWNER. WHEN HE STARTED HIS FAMILY HE DIDN'T DRIVE IT MUCH SO WHEN I CAME ALONG IT NEEDED A FEW THINGS TO MAKE IT MY DAILY DRIVER. SO I PUT BRAND NEW TIRES, A FULL TUNE UP. ALL FLUIDS ARE ON SCHEDULE.  I ALSO DECIDED TO HAVE THE SHIFT LINKAGE TOTALLY REBUILT AND SO NOW IT SHIFTS LIKE FACTORY FRESH! I ALSO HAD TO HAVE A NEW GENERATOR INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR. SO AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW, IT IS A VERY RELIABLE DAILY DRIVER! YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME. IT DOES HAVE A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT IT HAD WHEN I GOT IT. IT HASN'T GOTTEN ANY WORSE. IT LEAVES ABOUT A QUARTER SIZE DROP WHEN I PARK IT OVERNIGHT. WHETHER I LEAVE IT SITTING FOR 1 DAY OR A FEW DAYS IT'S STILL THE SAME SIZE DROP. 

THIS 914 DRIVES GREAT. IT IS COLD BLOODED SO I START IT AND LET IT WARM UP BEFORE I TAKE OFF. THE CLUTCH IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WITH ALL THE NEW GASKETS FOR THE SHIFT LINKAGE (INCLUDING THE ONE FOR THE FIREWALL INSTALLED PROPERLY) IT SHIFTS SMOOTH AND TRUE. THE CAR HANDLES EXCELLENT! ESPECIALLY WITH THE BRAND NEW TIRES. BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL. I DO HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND RECEIPTS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNERS ALONG WITH THE MANUAL.

I DO HAVE TWO TOPS FOR THE CAR. ONE HAS RACKS SCREWED INTO IT FOR RECREATION .... BIKES, SURFBOARDS, OR EVEN A CHRISTMAS TREE. 

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A RARE BLUE CAR FROM THE FACTORY. IT WAS COLOR CHANGED TO BURGUNDY AND THEN THE LAST OWNER PAINTED IT METALLIC GREEN. 

I AM NOT A COLLECTOR OR A PORSCHE EXPERT. I BOUGHT IT JUST BECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN ONE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME BY AND CHECK IT OUT OR SEND SOMEONE TO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE AREA. 

PLEASE BE AWARE I AM NOT A DEALER. THIS IS AN AS IS WHERE IS AUCTION. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED NOR IMPLIED. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE NOTES UNDER PAYMENTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE THE CLOSE OF AUCTION.

It's time for Corvette to attack Porsche

Fri, Jun 26 2015

For most of its existence, Porsche was a smug little sports car company with a fairly limited lineup and small but steady sales. Any time the company strayed from its air-cooled, rear engine formula, the purists would turn their noses. The 944? The 948? "Not a proper Porsche," they'd sniff. And then came the greatest sin of them all: the Cayenne. To the purists, this was treason. Porsche making an SUV? Horrors! Of course, you all know how it turned out. Porsche grew to be a profit-generating juggernaut within the Volkswagen Group. And since one SUV wasn't enough they added another, the Macan. By the end of the decade Porsche will have quadrupled its global sales. You have to wonder what else it has up its sleeve. Couldn't this be a lesson for General Motors? It has a terrific sports car brand in Corvette. In fact, it's arguably the most iconic brand within GM's full-line portfolio. But for its entire existence that brand has been locked up within Chevrolet. Maybe it's time for GM to treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. Maybe it's time for GM to unlock that brand and treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. A Corvette SUV could be a killer first step. Since Porsche only makes two SUVs, maybe Corvette could make three. Small, medium, and large. And just as Porsche has the Panamera, an executive sedan from team Corvette could become an instant "gotta-have" for the yacht-buying jet set. Of course, the Corvette purists will cringe. And the biggest hue and cry will come from Chevrolet's US dealers. That's why the best place to launch the new Corvette brand would be far away from those franchisees: in China. Chinese consumers have no pre-conceived ideas that 'Vettes can only be sold in Chevy stores. And Chinese enthusiasts very much admire Corvette's historic pedigree. You've no doubt read about how Chinese authorities are cracking down on conspicuous consumption. That makes the timing even better. Corvette's selling point has always been that it is an amazing bargain for the performance you get. What a perfect way to undercut Porsche. In fact, pairing the Corvette brand with Cadillac in China could be just the shot in the arm that Cadillac's Chinese dealers need. Despite having very competitive cars, Cadillac lags far behind Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. What Cadillac dealers need is a lot more showroom traffic. And a jaw dropping lineup of Corvette-branded vehicles could bring in throngs of buyers.

Magnus Walker crashes vintage Porsche with reporter inside

Fri, Aug 28 2015

One of the minor storms on the Internet earlier this week concerned Porsche 911 collector and Outlaw tuner Magnus Walker getting in an accident in Minnesota. Walker had shipped his #277 1971 Porsche 911T to the twin city for the opening of a $10-million Porsche dealership there, and the day began with lots of Facebook and Instagram photos of the car posing all over the showroom grounds. This is the same car that we've seen in Jay Leno's Garage, in Midnight Rambler, and in a Need for Speed trailer. Then came a photo of the 911 next to a semi trailer with its driver's side crumpled in and punctured. No one was clear on how it happened, but it seemed to involve swerving out of the way of a Mercedes-Benz on a frontage road by the dealership. Thanks to video from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, now we know what happened. Newspaper reporter Vineeta Sawkar had been doing a story with Walker and wanted to get some video for the piece. During one pass down the frontage road Walker decided to go into a right-hander a little faster than prudent, the car understeered toward the center yellow, and then Walker did the most verboten thing one can do when cornering in a vintage 911: he lifted off the gas. Hello instant rear-engined oversteer. Cue the fishtailing, a millimeter-fine brush with a Pagoda SL, and a crunch into that truck trailer. Sawkar said she was a little battered and bruised but ok, as is Walker – who went on to test drive a GT3 RS later in the day. Head over to the Star Tribune to see the video.

We get wet with Porsche's Cayman GT4 and 911 GT3 RS

Fri, Nov 13 2015

In case you missed them, we recently published our First Drive impressions on the super-hot 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 and the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Spoiler alert: they're lovely. In order to properly test these new machines, Porsche let senior editor Alex Kierstein loose on Road Atlanta. But rather than a blissful day of warm, dry conditions, this test session proved to be a super gross experience. The track was soaked. But that didn't stop Kierstein from manhandling both coupes with confidence. Credit where credit's due, Alex said the tires on the GT3 RS were absolutely amazing, and proved helpful for getting the most out of the most hardcore 911 in these incredibly damp conditions. Have a look at Kierstein's experience in both cars, in the video above. We can't wait to get these bad boys out on some dry roads.
