Authentic Restoration Parts For Your Porsche ... Since 1957
This 1974 Porsche 914 2.0L Targa, finished in Sepia Brown with a striking two tone tan interior, represents what many consider the best iteration of the four-cylinder 914 lineup. Fully serviced in February 2023 by Jacks German Auto Service in Fountain Valley, California, this mid-engine Porsche is ready for its next owner to enjoy. It is for sale at European Collectibles in Costa Mesa, California.
What do you do to mark your faithful Speedster turning 70?
You might give it an oil change or a wash and polish. But owners Mark and Kerry from England wanted to mark the day, Sunday 3rd August, by taking their Speedster back to Stuttgart, where it was ‘born’ 70 years before.
Opposite the amazing Porsche Museum is the original Reutter factory, still there, but now surrounded by a modern Porsche factory set up. These original Reuters buildings are now where Recaro seats are made.
Through the Grundmans in Germany, who are avid Porsche and VW collectors, and organised of the HO26 show next year; Mark and Kerry were able to park their car outside the museum whilst they enjoyed a private tour of the museum’s workshop, amazing archive / library and then a guided tour of the museum, that taught even Porsche fan Mark lots of new details of Porsches early history.
To round the trip off they stayed at the V8 Hotel, a Mecca for car fans about 30 mins from Zuffenhausen.
The Porsche is very original, having survived 70 years without any obvious welding repairs. The cars maintained by Mark, using Stoddards range of parts supplied through UK a distributor.
If anyone recognizes chassis number 80318 from its time in the USA, Mark and Kerry would love to know its back story and how it’s survived so well. You can email us at parts@stoddard.com if you have any backstory on this beautiful septuagenarian
We love it when our customers keep driving and enjoying them.
World-renowned Willhoit Restoration took two years restoring and modifying this 1955 Speedster, upgrading the suspension, installing a 2.2 liter WR engine. The result is a subtle and classy outlaw that would turn heads and stretch necks wherever it goes. The jewel-like Aquamarine paint and chocolate leather interior are *Chef's Kiss*

We haven't seen one of these in a hot minute. How about a 1975 914 1.8-Liter still wearing its original Laguna Blue paint. According to the owner, "We used a paint meter—every panel is original paint." The car has a new clutch kit, rebuilt 5-speed transmission (and short shifter kit installed). The car has 81,000 miles on it. "This 914 is a turn key anytime you want to start it up!" The car is located in the San Francisco, California area.

We saw this very nice looking 1965 356C Cabriolet on Bringatrailer.com. It's being sold by Road Scholars in North Carolina and is very well represented with plenty of excellent images so the prospective buyers can really see what they're getting. Well done! The auction has 7 days go--we'll be watching this result closely!
Petrol Blue is one of our favorite G-Body colors...and we saw this beauty at CarParc while we were visiting them during the Lit Meet week. It looks like a very clean, solid 911 that's ready to be enjoyed!

This year's 2023 Stoddard All Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet was a treat--a warm and sunny weather forecast help bolster numbers of vendors and showgoers, and Mother Nature delivered! We had well over 100 car show entrants. Les Checel's purple 993 placed third in the show, while Ben Pallazzo's Kiln Red 911 took second. Chris and Debbie Moore brought "Cashmere" and it took top honors in the show. We also had seminars, including Vic Skirmants talking 356 Transmissions and Adam Wright on how to find and buy project cars!
Next year's event will be held June 7-8, 2024. Like this year, after the literature show on Friday, we will head over to Pete's Custom Coachbuilding for a Barbecue! We are planning on adding some additional events during the day on Friday.
