Original 914 1.7 Liter Targa With Factory A/c, 5 Speed Manual And No Reserve on 2040-cars
Simpsonville, South Carolina, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1973 Porsche 914 1.7 Liter Targa with Factory Air Conditioning and Manual Transmission. Arguably the most desirable year of the 914 with still the Bosch D-Jetronic Fuel Injection System, side shift transmission as well as other improvements over the earlier years. It is Ivory White exterior over Black interior. This is an original car having probably all of the usual issues expected on a 914 of this vintage but can be enjoyed and driven as is. The exterior of the car (predominantly paint), leaves much to be desired. The recipient of a poor repaint many years ago as well as various shades of white touch up along the way, don't bode well for the initial impression. There are many areas where the paint is either cracking or starting to bubble beneath. The chrome and glass however is all in average to good condition. The black Targa Top paint is also not great but the top itself is in very good condition. The latches all work as expected and the headliner is in nice shape. Overall panel fit is factory correct, but the driver side trunk hinge is missing a plastic roller guide and sits high when closed as a result (see photo). The interior of the car (seats, cockpit, carpet, door panels and dash) are by far the most redeeming qualities of the car with all being in good to excellent condition (see photos). The dash itself is essentially perfect with not one crack or split to be found. The complete interior is not new but in a good used condition contributing to a nice overall interior patina. Mechanically the car runs and drives fine as is. Starts easily, idles well and drives as I would expect any 914 should. Steering is great and the Clutch, Transmission and Brakes are all working exactly as they should. The car is very original, so it still retains its factory VDO gauges as well as the original and also working Blaupunkt radio. The dual exhaust is newer and provides for a more sporty exhaust note. All 5 painted wheels are in average condition while riding on rather old 195/60/15 radial tires with decent tread. Included as well are the factory tools with tool pouch, factory jack and a Porsche 914 workshop manual. Please ask all questions prior to bidding and do not bid unless you intend to buy. Vehicle is being sold as is where is with no warranties either expressed or implied. A $500 non-refundable purchase deposit is due within 2 days of the close of the auction. |

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala
Mon, 16 Dec 2013That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
