Amarillo, Texas, United States
|
-1976 914 2.0 liter -Dual two-barrel Weber 45mm down-draft carburetors -Mild cam w/ hydraulic lifters (No valve adjustments needed-hardly ever) -High-performance clutch installed with new bearings etc. -KYB Nitro Sport shocks -Brand new gell cell battery -High-pressure valve springs w/ 5800rpm rev limiter -Stainless steel exhaust -Powder coated engine tins (Yellow tins, red carbs, looks sharp) -New (Straight) rear A-arms -About 1000 miles on engine when re-worked in 2002/2003 when i left for college. It's in great driving condition! This car has been garage kept in the Texas panhandle since I bought it in 2001. I moved to and live in Illinois now but it is kept in my parents garage year round. The car is newly registered and inspected in Texas where my parents use it for weekend driving. I bought the car from Kentucky in really nice condition except that it needed some new gaskets. That prompted me to take everything apart and add the features above since I was already working on it. The interior is original as far as I can tell and needs just a little work. Other than a couple of seat tears the inside is really nice and clean. I put a lot of TLC into the car and have since moved away. I miss the car a lot but I am now raising money for an adoption so the car gets to help our family with that. My parents are not happy that I am selling their toy, but they are happy to be getting a grandchild out of the deal We took most of the maintenance out of the car. If you're new to the 914 cars, know what you're buying. The valves have to be set unless converted to hyd lifters. The factory fuel injection is very touchy and costs lots to properly maintain. Carbs take the fuss out of the fuel system with only a simple K&N filter cleaning necessary occasionally. They're great and fun cars to have and drive and seem to increase in price nicely with some minor work to get them up to snuff. This not a "parts car" but is of the factory chassis, engine, and gearbox. The car is located in the Texas Panhandle. Title is completely original and clear. I had my parents shoot a couple of videos so you an see how nice it drives. As you can see this car will make people drool when they first hear and then see it coming. (Sorry about the wind, it is the Texas panhandle.)

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring
Tue, 13 May 2014It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.
