1967 Porsche 911R Tribute, California car, Light Ivory with Black interior. 2.8 liter rebuilt engine based on a 1967 911 aluminum case and late aluminum case 915 transmission. This is a very light and fast car re-created just as a real 911R was built (maybe better). We started with a very solid California chassis (no rust or accidents), stripped it down to bare metal, then had the rear flares done in steel to fit the rear 8" Fuchs wheels. Fiberglass front fenders, hood, bumpers and rear lid (from AIR Racing) were installed and properly fitted. Paint is high quality Light Ivory with Simi flat Black Jams done as 911Rs were. Trim was powder coated to Dull Aluminum and GT racing plastic Vent & Quarter windows were installed. Interior done as a 911R with a welded Roll Bar installed, RS door panels and carpet set, black headliner. However we did install new racing seats with head support and set up for 5 point seat belts and harness. Suspension, torsion bars, Bilsien Sport shocks, rack & pinion and brakes are from a 1986 Carrera: front and rear with fully adjustable sway bars and spring plates. Engine is based on a 1967 911 aluminum case, built to a 2.8 liter High Performance Twin Plug engine. Crank is counter balanced, hardened ans STD, rods are H beam, cylinders are Mahle fitted with custom JE forged Pistons - all balanced and blueprinted. The heads are Twin Plugged, ported and polished 911S with new RS valves and springs, DC 50 cams, Carrera Hyd tensioners, late 3.6 cam boxes and valve covers. Stainless Steel headers with a sport muffler. Weber Carbs were modified and set up for the 2.8 liters with help from PMO, K&N filters. Twin Plug Ignition distributor is from JB racing, MSD boxes contol the two Bosch Coils spark, great stuff. The Aluminum case 915 Transmission is rebuilt and a custom green face electric speedometer was made for this conversion. Wheels are 6x15 fuchs in the front and 8" x 15" in the rear. WE do have engine options available at an extra cost of course: 2.7 MFI RS twin plug 911/83 engine, 3.4 liter twin plug engine with carrello rods and PMO carbs.

eBay Find of the Day: Your choice of new, unregistered mid-2000s supercars
Wed, 26 Dec 2012If you didn't quite find what you were hoping to see under the tree this year, maybe it's about time you buy yourself something nice. Something like an unregistered 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car has never been titled and has just 83 miles on the odometer. With one owner since new, the Carrera GT is likely to be as nice an example as you're likely to find outside of a museum. Porsche only built 340 of these machines back in 2005, and with a 610 horsepower V10 kicking at your spine, you can lap Santa's sleigh next year. Currently, the Carrera GT has a buy it now price of $457,325 with around six days left on the auction.
Not flashy enough for your tastes? Stroll on down to West Hollywood and you'll find a similarly untitled 2004 Ferrari Enzo up for grabs with a sticker of $1.8 million. Technically a Euro-spec car, the Enzo isn't legal to operate on US roads, but could be modified to satisfy Uncle Sam with a little effort. The seller calls this car the "last brand-new Enzo in existence" and with 175 miles on the clock, that may be a true statement. You can head over to eBay Motors for a closer look if you're feeling spendy.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
