1974 Porsche 914 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Saint Helens, Oregon, United States
|
Very nice condition 1974 Porsche 914. A very nice driver quality car, exterior in nice conditions with minor rock chips here and there, no real dents to speak of. It doesn't appear this has ever had any bodywork and is pretty much void of rust. Looks like it was resprayed quite well in the original color. Not sure how long ago, I would guess 20 yrs or so. The gloss on the hood has faded, but is not peeling anywhere. The interiors of the front and rear trunk have only minor very light surface rust here and there. To be expected of a car that is 40 years old. The 914 shows that it has been garaged throughout its life. This is an originally fuel injected 1.8 liter. It has been had the 1.8 liter heads replaced with the 2.0 heads. I just removed the fuel injection system last fall and installed the dual empi set up. The fuel injection system was running well at time of removal and is included in the sale. I am a carburetor guy, so I wanted something that I could work on. FI could be reinstalled with no problems. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Brakes work well, tires have plenty of tread, but are older. If I were to keep car, I would likely replace them. The key is starting to wear in the ignition as well, something I would probably replace in the future. Sometime it turns right away, sometimes it takes several tries. Interior is in very nice condition. A couple of cracks shown on the drivers seat on entry side only. Passenger is excellent. Dash has a couple of minor cracks as shown. I just replaced the interior carpet and there was no rust under the original. Headliner is in excellent condition and shows no wear. All glass is in good condition with no cracks, I believe there is a small rock chip in windshield. The doors shut perfectly with no sag. The rear trunk lid latches and closes better than any new car! Front closes perfect with no sag in the springs. This is an overall very nice car for 40 years old! It is not a show car by any means, just one that has been taken care of very well and enjoyed thoroughly! I welcome pre purchase inspections if you should choose to want to look at it in person. New outdoor car cover included ($300) Shipping is buyers responsibility, I will be flexible with shipping if you choose that option. It will need to be picked up within 7 days of auction end. If you pay with paypal, all paypal fees will be added to purchase price. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end, full payment due within 5 days. Vehicle runs well, sold as is. For additional pics, send question and I will supply a link to my photo bucket account. Ebay does not apparently allow links in their descriptions... |

China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
