1974 Porsche 914/ 2.0l on 2040-cars

Santa Ana, California, United States

This rare 1974 Porsche roadster (914) with a 2.0 liter engine comes with dual 40mm double barrel carburetors. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles. This car runs good, and it gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are no major scratches nor dents on the exterior. The paint is okay, but there are a few imperfections, especially on the front hood. There is no visible rust. The tires are good, with about 70% of tread left. The brakes work fine, and I have extra brakes/calipers and many other spare parts for this vehicle. Car also comes with the original owner's manual and with about 15 repair books covering the entire vehicle (motor, transmission, electrical, body, suspension, fuel system, etc). The lights (electrical) on this car work fine. Registration/tags are good through August of 2014 and car is insured. I have the title/ pink slip registered to me.

 

 The seats are recaro/ Porsche seats from a 2000 Porsche Boxter or Carrera; they have seat covers and are a lot more comfortable than the original! The carpet, door panels, the back pad, the dash and everything in the interior looks good. Doors open and close fine and all door handles and window cranks work fine. The front glass and windows are good without cracks. The rubber seals are there, and they keep the interior dry. The dash is the original one, and was somewhat refurbished (cracks were filled and sanded, & dash was dyed black). Car has a nice Alpine CD stereo, and it also has several speakers. Car also comes with a center console with 3 gauges (clock, voltage and temp). There is a newer spare tire in the front compartment with a jack.

 

 There are some minor things that might need attention, like the AC, heater and the speedometer. They are either not functional or they are simply not connected (could be a fuse, relay or a line not connected). Fuel and temp gauges work fine. Also, I recently noticed that the car has a really minor oil leak, possibly from a pushrod tube. The seal might need to be replaced (easy fix). I always drove this vehicle on the weekends, with the top off (I never needed any AC or heater). Since my baby was born about 7 months ago, I haven't been driving it too much, and now It is time to pass it on. I regularly had a technician adjust the valves, carburetors and the timing. The car is 40 years old and it is in really good condition, overall! It is a survivor!! Potential buyers are welcome to come see the car. Thanks for your interest.

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.

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.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
