La Verne, California, United States
If you have any questions please email at: sharlasttrafton@clubyamaha.com .
1975 Porsche 914 Targa in very, very good daily driver condition. -matching numbers car, engine
number GC000102. Nice example of an original 914 that is not concourse but an extra nice car that would make any
driver proud.
Interior: All new interior in perfect condition. New seats, door panels, back pad, dash, carpet and many new
seals. 12 inch Momo Course steering wheel (which I almost replace with original but this one feels much better to
drive). New Rennline aluminum floorboard.
Exterior: Brand new paint with very nice shine. Not perfect with some blemishes but hard to tell. No dents,
scratches or dings. Bumpers clean with no damage but do show signs of age but again, hard to tell especially from a
few feet away. Wheels are original 914 fuchs, clean with shine, not perfect but look very nice and no major (hardly
even minor) scratches or curb rashes. Perfect door gaps.
Engine: The most desirable 2.0 Liter of the 4 cylinder 914's. Starts right up and idles smooth with original fuel
injection. Clutch depresses smooth and also with no noise or slipping. New valve adjustment, new pushrod tube
seals, new valve cover gaskets, new vacuum lines, new fuel injector seals, new points, new ignition wires, new
spark plugs, new intake boots, new intake manifold gaskets, new head temperature sensor, new air filter. Fresh oil
change.
Mechanical: All mechanical aspects of this car are very good for a 41 year old auto. Shifts smooth with new shift
bushings on the 5 speed, side shifter gearbox. New front brakes that stop smooth, in a straight line. New battery
in the more practical trunk mount position. Had some rust but all has been repaired/treated and now is a solid car.
Overview: I tried my best to show all aspects of this car to help anyone interested in making a decision. You need
to see it for yourself in order to; 1: Appreciate how nice it is. 2: Decide if, in your eyes, this is the car for
you. Different people have differing opinions. Please inspect photos carefully as they are part of the
description. This is “not” a perfect car so if you are looking for that, keep looking. It “is” a very
nice car that looks extremely nice. Title in hand and smog exempt (at least in CA.). 2017 tags just arrived. The
car is a blast to drive down a country road and has no overheating or running problems. It looks and feels, almost
like a brand new car. Brand new tires also. Odometer shows 18930 but actual mileage is unknown.

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.
Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
