You won't find a more fun car to drive than this one. It is a 1972 Porsche 914-6 Conversion with a 3.0L Porsche 911 SC engine with electronic fuel injection based on the original Bosch CIS fuel system. A rebuilt set of Weber carburetors is also available but not included in this sale. The car was restored in the 1990s and converted to a 6-cylinder engine about 7 years ago. The complete engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and the top end rebuilt approximately 5000 miles ago while replacing the case bolts. It has 911 struts and brakes in front, while the rear brakes use 914-6 rotors and hubs. I replaced the master cylinder with a larger 19-mm 911 unit for the 911 front calipers and rebuilt the pedal cluster. The car has many new parts. The wheels shown are stock 5-bolt chromed steel 356C/911/914-6 wheels, but I can replace these with Porsche cookie-cutter wheels if desired. Either a stock 914 steering wheel or a 13 5/8-inch Momo wheel is available. The transmission is a side-shifting 914 unit. The dashboard instruments are 911 oil pressure/temperature gauge and tachometer, and a 150mph 914 gauge (true miles unknown). A VDO fuel gauge is mounted separately. There is virtually no rust on the car. There is a pinhead-size paint bubble near the driver's corner of the leading edge of the front trunk lid (visible as a speck in a blow-up of the picture of the front) and some near one corner of the rear trunk lid. I have also found a dime-sized hole in a panel under the left rear corner missed during the original restoration. This was pointed out to me by the owner who restored the car, and you can see it only if you are under the car. It causes no harm. The hell-hole under the battery was either rust-free at restoration or restored before I bought the car. The fuel pump has been relocated to the front. The floors, jack points and structural members are all solid. The passenger seat has one seam in the seat that is splitting but otherwise the interior is in excellent shape. The car has been kept in covered storage since its restoration, not driven in the winter, and only seldom in the rain. The paint is a metallic medium blue very close to the original color and, aside from a few minor blemishes, is in excellent condition. I bought this car eight years ago and did the 911 engine conversion work a year later using a kit and following an article in Excellence magazine with help of an experienced multi-914 owner. I took the 3.0L engine from my early 911 when I upgraded that car to a larger engine. I have owned air-cooled Porsches off and on for 50 years, but it is time to let some things go. Call me at 360.734.8782 with questions. I will send other photos on request. A $1000 down-payment is required within 48 hours of the end of the sale with the balance due in seven days. The down-payment may be made through Pay-Pal, but if the buyer wishes to use PayPal for the balance, the buyer is responsible for PayPal charges. The car will be sold “as-is” with no warranties. The buyer is responsible to complete all inspections prior to the end of the auction. The buyer is responsible for shipping (with my help on my end), but the car will not be shipped until paid for in full. The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.
50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
