Of the approximately 3,300 914-6’s ever made, only 432 were produced in
1971. It’s hard to imagine a nicer or
more original example than this one with just over 53,000 miles. #914 143 0240 still has its correct, matching
engine #641 4065. The car had only
38,000 miles on it in 1989 when it underwent a meticulous, bare metal
restoration, its one repaint in the original Porsche “8010 Silver” remains in
beautiful condition. The engine was
rebuilt to original 2.0 specs. The car
retains the original “tailshifter” transmission, making every drive an
adventure in shifting. All photos were taken within the last month, and the car is exactly as it appears. Extraordinarily impressive, but not a show car, it has been driven sparingly and enjoyed, carefully maintained, always garaged and covered. As you can tell from the photos, the gaps are uniform and the body panels are flat and straight. The headlights pop up together like synchronized swimmers. Original interior is in excellent condition, including a perfect dash with no cracks. Carpets show some minor wear but are in excellent condition for their age. Includes the carpeted passenger footrest, and the dealer-installed “All Transistor AM-FM Radio by Motorola Custom Built for Porsche with Push Button Tuning” (owner’s manual description, not mine). Please click on the image below to view 80 photographs:
What else is included? Original vinyl portfolio with embossed Porsche logo is in reasonably good shape
for its age—no tears or split seams.
Portfolio contains the original Owner’s Manual in fair condition, the
original “Porsche Maintenance Record for USA” with initial delivery information
and some useful notes, the two-page owner’s manual for the radio, and a documentation
letter from Porsche in Germany dated June 18, 1991 confirming the car’s original
engine number, paint color code, and optional equipment (tinted glass, center
seat cushion, alloy wheels). Also
included is a fitted car cover and an extra set of four used but decent 5.5 x
14-inch Fuchs wheels with tires. (see
photos) The steering wheel is obviously not original, though looks period. As a result, horn button does not work. Currently running K&N air filters, but
original filter housing is included (see photo). Currently has headers and sport exhaust, but
original exhaust manifolds/heat exchangers (pitted) are included (see photo).
Front brakes are 911S calipers and rear brakes are 911SC calipers, so there is
no functioning handbrake, but original is included (see photos). Original tool kit is now incomplete and
unimpressive (see photos). The windshield
washer does not work (never considered driving the car when I’d need it). The
original padded, upholstered headliner (standard on the 914-6) has some small
tears near the front latches. Also,
someone along the way attempted to touch up the exterior of the targa top, and
its finish is inconsistent. No spare tire. Very small nick in paint on front
right fender. This vehicle is 43 years old and is being sold as is. No warranty is
expressed written or implied. I will make every effort to disclose any known
defects at buyers request prior to close of sale. It is the responsibility of
buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied himself or
herself as to the condition and value, and to bid based upon that judgment
solely. I reserve the right to cancel
all existing bids and end the auction early should the vehicle no longer be
available for sale. Payment Information: A deposit of $1000 (non-refundable) must be paid within 2 days of close
of auction. The remaining balance must
be paid by confirmed bank transfer within 10 days. Vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle. If you choose to have it shipped using a service, I will gladly cooperate for pickup in the Sacramento, California area. On Aug-25-14 at 15:28:59 PDT, seller added the following information: AUCTION UPDATE: I've answered all questions promptly so far and will continue to do so through Thursday, but will be unavailable from Friday through close of auction on Sunday night. Please ask any questions you have before Thursday PM. And I will continue to make the car available for inspection by prospective buyers through Thursday as well. Thanks much for all the interest. |

Are you the Porsche Pajun?
Mon, 17 Nov 2014The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.
Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
