1973 Porsche 914 Base 1.7l on 2040-cars
Rocklin, California, United States
|
For Sale, Porsche 914, 1.7L, 1973, 258,000 miles +/- Third owner. Purchased in 1991. A California car, originally sold in Stockton, CA at Lasher Porsche+ Audi+VW. Purchased by the second owner in 1974, a well-loved member of the family, driven and garaged in West Sacramento until I bought it in 1991. It is on its third motor, but otherwise is all original. The first motor suffered an unfortunate down shift error (the second owner), sending a push-rod through the block. The second motor was a new factory unit, installed by Niello Porsche+Audi in Sacramento. This was the motor in the car when I bought it with 186,000 on the Odometer. I nursed it along until it became old, tired, and compression-less. The third motor is a rebuild from a local German Motorsports shop. The second owner got into a fight with a 1960 Chrysler 300, lost, and despite the “salvage” title, they had the car resurrected with donated fenders, hood, head lamp assemblies, etc. Original color, Delphi Green.
It runs well, but is best as a restore project or owned by someone who likes to work on VW’s and Porsches.
Tires are good, brakes safe, steering good, electrics are solid. Seats are ok, but are ready for restoration. Carpet kit gave up the ghost four years ago, and were not replaced. |

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Tue, 11 Nov 2014In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
Porsche Exclusive showcases custom-order 911 Turbo Cabrio
Sun, 06 Apr 2014Porsche is one of the most profitable automakers in the business. In fact, it's said to make about $23,000 on each car it sells, thanks in no small part to an options list that can send the sticker price accelerating quicker than one of its own sports cars. But there are always those for whom even the extensive option list won't be enough, and for just such customers, there is Porsche Exclusive.
The division in Zuffenhausen is tasked with creating even more individualized examples of Porsche vehicles, and it recently did up this 911 Turbo Cabriolet - which, at $160,700, is already one of the most expensive Porsches you can order this side of a 918 Spyder: more than any Boxster, Cayman, Macan or Cayenne, any Panamera other than a Turbo S or Executive - not to mention any other 911 short of a Turbo S.
This particular demo vehicle features a Slate Grey paint job and red interior decked out in more leather than an S&M dungeon - which, come to think of it, would probably be less financially painful than ordering up this car from Porsche Exclusive.
