This is your chance to get a nice 914 at a great price if you are willing to do some work. The car is nearly complete, about the only parts needed to finish it are an ignition switch electrical section and the heater flap control cable and the short heater hoses that run between the heater valves and body. The car will also need some wiring work done, the harness is good but some of the wires need sorting out. The headlights and most of the other lights work, so do the wipers, the turn signal and horn wiring needs attention. The new fuel pump needs to be hooked up, and you will probably have to install a new ignition switch electrical section. I bought the car seven years ago and know that it has been sitting for at least a decade, it was a rolling chassis when I bought it and was missing a lot of parts including the speedometer so I have no idea what the real milage is. The motor last ran about a year ago when I had it in another 914, it has twin Brosol Solex 40 mm carbs with electric chokes, and it also has hydraulic lifters and cam, it is a very quiet engine that only has about 200 miles on it. The side shift late model transmission shifts nicely but I cannot vouch for it working 100% as I have never had it in a running car. The rear shocks are KYB gas, the rear brakes need to be reassembled and installed, the front brakes are rebuilt and the master cylinder is a new 911 type. The tie rod ends are new and so are the wipers, the tires are all good but need balancing and are not matched. The upholstery is serviceable but not perfect, the carpet is new and the pedal cluster has been rebuilt with bronze bushings. The passenger side inner door weather strip is in need of replacement and a couple of other weather strips are in not-perfect shape, the front trunk bulkhead seal and the front targa seal, the rest are in good shape. The car is solid with no rust in the floor pans, rockers or hell hole. The paint has runs in it that don't show up well in the photos, they might color sand and buff out but it may need to be re-shot on the passenger side. I need to sell this car now, otherwise I would have finished it, currently it is registered non-op. I have a trailer that the buyer can use to move it, and I also have a large stock of 914 parts, if the new owner needs anything I have in the first six months I will provide it for free, including a transmission. The radio is junk, and there are no speakers, and the right rear tail light has some sun cracks. The starting bid may seem high but it is less than I have into the motor alone, I hate to have to sell this car now but need the cash. The picture of the motor out of the car show a different exhaust system and starter, the car has a new starter and muffler. The photo of the car in bare metal shows the original color, yellow.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
