1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
For Sale :
This 914-6 Needs a FULL restoration. 1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 Engine ser. # 6405500 (Unknown miles on engine/trans) Transmission model/ser. # 914/01 , 7502252 I'm pretty sure this is a number matching car. The color is black metallic but looks like a dark Gray (the paint is in rough shape). The car has a set of factory steel flares installed. I know most of this car's history (from mid 80's to current). The original engine/transmission was removed from the car in 1986/87. The org. engine/trans ran fine when it was removed but I would recommend a refresh on both. There is Weltmiester adjustable front & rear sway bars installed. The org. front suspension was replaced with a later 911 SC 3.5'' Boge struts with the aluminum S calipers, 911 SC front aluminum crossmember, and larger mm torsion bars in the factory A-arms. The p/o made his own front adjustable caster/camber plates but should be an easy retro to the factory parts. The shocks are adjustable Koni sports front and rear with 140 lb. springs. The rear bumper is installed but the front bumper/valance is still off the car. I can install the front bumper and valance prior to shipping. I know there's several parts missing from this car and will do my best to list them all. The missing parts can be found at various vendors/Porsche sites. Missing parts : (There maybe more then what's listed but this is what I know for sure) Rear calipers, engine relay board, oil tank/associated parts, carbs/intake manifolds/linkage, some interior trim pieces, speedo, tach, engine oil cooler, and all the rubber oil lines. Rust problems that I know of : Needs a full floor pan, right side lower firewall in engine bay, under battery tray area (aka the hell hole), right rear outer long, rear trunk pan, rear lid has rust spot, fenders in different spots, doors need to be repaired/replaced, and lower inner firewall on both sides. I inspected the inner rockers. The right side needs to be replaced and drivers side appears to be in good shape. The drivers side jack post looks like it will need to be replaced. There maybe more area's but this is what I can see. I installed the engine and transmission for the ease of shipping. I have the vehicle listed for sale on Pelican Parts and 914World sites. I also have the vehicle listed locally and could terminate this listing at anytime. If a buyer wants to have a PPI performed (at buyers expense) I will do my best to assist with it. I will do my best to answer any questions. I will take more pics of the car and other area's upon request. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with parts listed above. The buyer is to arrange and pay for shipping of the vehicle. The winning bidder is to contact me with there contact info within two days to make arrangements for payment. DO NOT BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS!!!! ask any questions you may have prior to bidding |

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
