Restoration Wednesday, The Porsche 914 1.8 Runs… Finally

1982 Toyota SR5 Pickup long box California truck – $4200 (Kingsley)
Love it. Looks like it was blue but painted a green that I can’t really describe other than period and it wears it well. Love the wheels and brush guard over the grille. Lot’s of detail in the listing. … Continued
1973 Jeep J-2000 V-8 4×4 – $14500 (Levering)
I would buy this over the Jeep Scrambler I posted below. This is just a classic look. Chrome bumpers and big grille. Bullet shaped mirrors which I’m assuming are not original but look great. Love the color. Find it for sale … Continued
1981 Jeep Scrambler CJ8 (mesick)
I’m not sure what is going on with the shifter. I guess that’s what happens when “function” sucker punches “form.” I do like the LS motor swap and hard top with doors. Your kids would probably love riding in the … Continued

1984 Honda ATC 70 – $750 (Chelsea, MI)
I think even a five year old would get bored after a day or so. But that doesn’t keep me from waxing nostalgic. I love the original Honda three wheelers despite their tip over potential. The color and plastic on … Continued
2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo – $6400 (Worthington)
Yes, there are a lot of these around for cheap money. But many of them are through dealers with ads that talk all about the features and nothing about the care. Right out of the box this owner says “meticulously maintained… … Continued
A Visit Down Recollection Road at Car and Driver’s Headquarters
Last Wednesday I had lunch with Aaron Robinson from Car and Driver magazine, A.R. for short. Actually that’s not true. I’ve never called Aaron “A.R.” or anything for short. I’ve never even pronounced his name with one “A” instead of two. But … Continued
