THIS IS A 1971 PROSCHE 914. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE ADDS ON EBAY, THEY ALL HAVE THE HISTORICAL DATA ON THESE CARS SO I'LL JUST DESCRIBE THIS ONE HERE. THIS 914 HAS BEEN PAINTED BLACK AND DETAILS VERY WELL. IT HASN'T BEEN DOCTORED MUCH SINCE THERE ARE 3 SMALL IMPERFECTIONS ON THE BODY TO SPEAK OF. THEY ARE ALL RUST SPOTS, SMALL BUT THERE JUST UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. THE LARGEST IS IN THE PICTURE OF THE TRUNK, JUST RIGHT OFF CENTER, THE OTHER OF NOTE IS JUST BESIDE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP, YOU CAN SEE IT JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE LAMP IN THE FRONT VIEW. THEY DO NOT PUSH IN SO I HAVEN'T TRIED TO CHANGE THEM, THEY ARE JUST BUBBLING UNDER THE PAINT. THERE IS VERY LITTLE SURFACE RUST ANYWHERE ELSE INSIDE THE CAR, EVERYTHING IS SOLD. THE CARPETS APPEAR TO BE ORIGINAL AND THE INTERIOR IS INTACT. THE DASH HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR, ALL GUAGES AND LIGHTS WORK. THE RADIO IS NOT ORIGINAL AND WORKS AS WELL. ALL THE GLASS AND LENSES ARE HERE, A FEW MINOR CRACKS IN A COUPLE LENSES, VERY INSIGNIFICANT. THE CAR OVERALL IS VERY SOLID, AND PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. I DROVE IT RECENTLY, PROBABLY THE LONGEST IT'S SEEN IN YEARS TO GET DETAILED AND WAS SOLID. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL JACK IS HERE IN THE PICTURE, AND THE SPARE AS WELL. A VERY WELL KEPT CAR. THE ODOMETER WORKS AND IS RIGHT AT 89,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS A 2.0 LABEL, AND I HAVEN'T CONFIRMED BUT I WAS TOLD IT IS A 2.0 MOTOR. THERE ARE PICTURES AND IT FITS THE COMPARTMENT WELL AND RUNS VERY SMOOTH, SO I REALLY DIDN'T CHECK IF IT WAS CHANGED.

Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.
Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
