Due to kid’s college I am selling my 1974 PORSCHE 911 2 DOOR TARGA with 2.2 liter engine with rebuilt 40IDA3C webers! 2nd listing this summer because 1st bidder was a fraud. · You are going to love the attention that comes your way wherever you go and the fun you will have driving it! I know I can get a lot of money for the parts if I part it out, but I have never destroyed one of these, so I am willing to let it go for less than what it is worth rather than part it out. Typical value for these is around $12k-$18k. Noted below are the inherent values of the parts if I were to part it out e.g. easily worth over the $12000 in all the potential parts (many discussed below). This car is not perfect, has some work to do, but it is a great starter that can be driven now. Excellence magazine lists the 1974 Targa from $12,700 to $19,600, so this car is a lot better than the lowest listing, although it will need some attention over time. · Boxer 6 cylinder engine with a rock solid performance 2.2 liter engine. The Engine has been rebuilt, but I don't know when. I adjusted valves, changed oil and all filters, checked for broken head studs, etc in the last 4 months. Like most these it does have its small oil leaks, although I haven’t noticed too much oil usage or engine smoking. Each of the exhaust headers has an O2 bung to test for air fuel ratio. · Updated chain tensioner kit has been added. · Webers are rebuilt in almost like new condition. Problematic fuel injection has been replaced by rebuilt Weber carburetors. Engine is currently set for 13.5 AFR at idle on all cylinders. · I have spent the last 3 years making this car very solid. All of the significant rust in the front pan and front areas or underneath have been fully cut out and double MIG welded. It only has a bit of general surface rust in a few spots underneath which can be easily seen. The front fender body area on the inside had a small crease, but it has been well fixed. All the rest has of the rust problems have been cut out and steel welded over. Finished in Alpine White, the exterior of this Porsche shows quite well. There are a few minor paint runs or oversprays that are not noticeable until you are really close. It is nice and shiny. The dash has been recovered so there are no obvious cracks. · Has the front right fender mounted oil cooler with Porsche lines and thermostat was added to keep the engine cool. · 5 speed manual transmission: very good shape with no synchro problems, has been updated with Ed’s whisper transmission coupler and a Seine like gate shifter (spring loaded for gears 1-2); new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. · Targa top; very nice shape but one of the cross bars has the end broke, but there is no problem when mounted. · Inside carpet and seats are fine but carpets have been taped and seats replaced with other better shape seats from newer cars. Seats are different from each other. · VDO gauges ($500), but the speedometer doesn’t work, although I know the cable is good. · 4 vintage 1968 6x15 steel wheels and 1 Fuchs replica for a spare. All the tires have plenty of tread, but I would replace them when I get the right wheels as they are dated. · Nice solid fenders, solid doors, power windows that work and one driver’s side power mirror that doesn’t. · Front anti sway bar · Replaced the midtunnel brake line when the engine was out. · New brake master cylinder and new brake pads. Still left to do: · Windshield has a new seal, but the window has one vertical crack all the way top to bottom. No impact to driving and I would not replace it now. Crack was there before we put it back in with the new seal. · One of the high beams doesn’t work. · Right door was replaced and needs adjusting. · Does not have the lower side skirts, they can be provided if you want them. I don’t like them.

Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash
Fri, 03 Jan 2014The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.
