1976 Porsche 914 2.0 looks and runs great.  Strong running motor and great handling of a mid engine sports car.  Can't out-run a 911, but you can out-corner one!  No tail happy rear engine over-steer here.  I would describe this car as "refurbished" but not restored.  Overall a very original survivor.


This is the last year of Porsche's mid-engine rear drive entry level sports car.  You will have a hard time finding one in this condition!  It has a lot of desirable features including:

2.0 flat 4 air-cooled engine.  Runs very strong.  It does not have the original fuel injection, but instead has a reliable dual Weber carburetor set up.  A few notable improvements include the "Flamethrower" electronic ignition and new distributor.  Has an aftermarket 4 pipe sport exhaust.  Passed Colorado emissions test in December 2012.  

Original Fuchs aluminum wheels with newer Continental Contipro Contact 195/65 R15 91H sport tires with very good tread.  Even the spare is a Fuchs.

The car has been painted once in the original color with new decals.  The paint job is very good, with a few very minor blemishes.  Silver is the right color for this car.  Chrome and rubber bits are in good, solid shape.

5 Speed transmission with solid gearbox.  New shifter bushings throughout.

This car has TWO trunks!  It has pretty good storage for such a small car.  Will hold 2 sets golf clubs or a weekends worth of luggage.

Rust free and always garaged.  The body is very straight and panel fit is outstanding.  I have no reason to believe it has ever had an accident.

Suspension received major service in December.  New trailing arm bushings, wheel bearings, rear springs, control arm bushings, alignment, ride height adjustment.

This model came LOADED in 1976.  Leather seats, fog lights, air conditioning, 

Dealer installed air conditioning with recent recharge.  Not overpowering, but blows cold air.  Using it is silly because of ease of targa top removal (4 clips to undo, and stores in rear trunk.  Removal and installation takes about 1 minute and can be done without help)

This auction includes original manual, several good books, and a 914 T Shirt showing the funky shift pattern.

Full Disclosure Stuff (known issues)

Leaks a little engine oil
Minor paint blemishes on rear deck lid.  Once had a rear luggage rack bolted through it, and welding repairs are only fair.
Heater blower motor does not work
High beam headlights do not work (Low Beams, brake lights, taillights, indicators, fog lights work fine)
Front and rear rubber bumper covers are faded
Fuse box cover missing
First gear is a little difficult to shift into when cold
Original stereo is lost to the ages.  It has an older Yamaha AM/FM/Cassette with 4 new Pioneer speakers that do work.  The sound of the motor over your right shoulder and rush of air in your ears should make up for this.

Watch a marksman go clay shooting from a Porsche 911

Tue, Dec 8 2015

A Porsche 911 is exciting. Firing a shotgun at clay pigeons is also exciting. And when you combine the two? An amazing video. This video features British master marksman Phillip Thorrold as he takes on a very different form of competitive shooting, because traditional sporting clays, trap, and skeet must be too boring. By mounting a clay pigeon trap to the hood of a Porsche 911 Targa, Thorrold has melded driving and shooting in a way that hasn't been seen since James May and Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear tried to rethink the biathlon. The Brit makes short work of the clays with his over-under shotgun. Even as he runs form spot to spot to intercept the Porsche, he has no trouble downing the discs as they're launched unpredictably from the speeding, sliding 911. He then hops in the passenger seat and proceeds to take out the tiny, orange clays while zipping down a country road. If that's not awesome enough, the clays have been fitted with exploding discs, for that extra bit of excitement. We've posted the entire three-minute video at the top of the page. Even if you aren't into competitive shooting, this is a spectacle you aren't going to want to miss. Please don't try this at home. Related Video:

An assortment of emblematic supercars is headed to auction

Sun, Sep 18 2022

Auction house RM Sotheby's is giving enthusiasts the chance to bid on the supercars that they had posters of when they were kids. It's organizing a live sale in Miami, Florida, in December 2022 that's limited to 60 high-end models built between the 1970s and the 2010s. The oldest car in the catalog is a V12-powered 1974 Jaguar E-Type, though keep in mind that only 20 of the 60 available slots have been filled so far. At the other end of the spectrum, the newest model is currently a 2014 BMW M5. If your automotive tastes are firmly anchored in the 1980s, there's a wide selection of cars to choose from such as a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition and a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo with a flat-nose conversion. If your heart belongs in the 1990s, RM's sale includes a 1990 Lamborghini LM 002, a 1995 Ferrari 512 M, and a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo. Bentley models and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR are among the newer classics. Carmakers weren't alone in pursuing speed, style, and extravagance in the 1980s; tuners fought hard for a piece of the pie as well, and RM's sale reflects that. Collectors will get the rare opportunity to bid on a number of pre-merger AMG models like a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL 5.0 (R107), a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 6.0 (C126) with a wide-body kit, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 6.0 (W126). BMW-based Alpina models are well represented, too: RM accepted a pair of 6 Series-based 1987 B7 coupes and a 3 Series-based B6 2.8.  There are several slots left so it's not too late to submit your car. If you're a buyer, plan on being in Miami on December 9 and 10, 2022. We suggest clearing up space in your garage first: every car is offered with no reserve, so the selling price will be the highest bid. Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.
