Porsche 914 2.0 Rare Ac Car, Custom Seats And Stereo. Great Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
|
1974 Porsche 914 with 2.0 engine This project car that my son
and I have been working on for over a year has to go because we are buying a
house and need the money for the down payment.
This car is going to be a great car when done and is about 80% complete. Check out the pictures on my website www.thewebdoc.com. We have cleaned, and restored the interior,
replaced the seats with custom designed seats.
These seats cost over $700 to have made and really dress up the car. The steering wheel has been painstakingly
restored and the instrument panel has been sanded down and painted red to add
contrast. Mechanically the car is
great and starts up and drives great.
The goal was to use this as a daily driver and park my Hummer
considering the price of gas is almost $4.00 a gallon. The car handles great and has new larger tires (less that 1000 miles on new tires). It also has the 911 style rims with New Porsche emblems on the center caps. The carburetor has been rebuilt and
adjusted. The manifold gaskets have been
also replaced. The car has a new
battery. We customized the center
console and installed 2 high output speakers as well as replaced the standard
speakers in the kicker panels with better speakers. We also updated the sound system with a brand
new Pioneer stereo. The interior was stripped
out and any rust was taken care of and has been painted and sealed. On 4/19/14 we installed new upgraded carpet
with added sound proofing where possible.
Our goal was to make this car a daily driver and have been replacing all
of the necessary parts to make this car solid.
We have replaced the rubber gaskets in the targa top and window
edges. The seals in the front trunk have
been replaced. One of the most important
things we did was replace the seatbelts with new ones from a 928 so they are
better quality. The tires have been replaced
with new wider high performance tires. The
brakes and brake fluids have been replaced, along with all of the other engine fluids. In addition the car comes with a new master cylinder
that I was planning on installing it to improve stopping power. This car also has air
conditioning and all the parts appear to be included but at this time it is not
installed. That was going to be our next
project. Both the front and back trunks
are carpeted and the front one has been painted and the bottom has been treated
with rubberized paint to add some sound proofing. The hood has been recently been repainted and the Porsche crest has been added, and you can see by the picture how nice the car is going to look when the rest of the car is restored. The body is solid but needs to be sanded and repaired prior to painting it; this will never be a show car but can be made to look great and will be a blast to drive. This car will be a great car with a little more TLC. If we were not buying a new house it would not be for sale.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time
Wed, 04 Jun 2014You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap
Tue, 10 Sep 2013"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
