1970 Porsche 914 on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: tandytppetiet@iamgreatinbed.com . Exterior: This car is a real 914-6 signal orange car. As I mentioned early it was restored in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. It had some damage fixed in the rear along with a left front fender. They did a very nice job making the repairs. All of the flares are real and are steel. The car was stripped completely prior to being painted and restored from bare metal. This car does have a couple of bubbles that appeared near the right rear fender. Overall this is a very nice clean looking 914-6.
Engine/Transmission: This car does not have its original engine. It has a 2.2 engine with S pistons and E cams. This engine sounds great and starts right up. It makes very nice power and shifts through all 5 gears smoothly. The transmission has shorter gears and a factory LSD transmission. Both the engine and transmission have been rebuild approx 2,000 miles ago and are in excellent shape. This car is a blast to drive.
Suspension/Wheels: This car has real Fuchs 7 and 8 15” wheels that look great. I have the original center caps that go with them. The front suspension is from an 89 Carrera and the spindles were raised. It has the 944 turbo front brakes and rear original 914-6 calipers that were rebuilt and widened by PMB and have vented rotors. The chassis has the 914-6 stiffening kit and the trailing arms were boxed reinforced. It has a front alloy cross member and the suspension parts were powder coated. It has Koni Sports red adjustable spring perches. It has new bushings front and rear and new torsion bars.
Interior: The interior is also in excellent shape. It has all rebuild gauges, new dash pad, and new knee pad. It has a Koenig drivers seats, however a small hole has appeared on it.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
