Up for auction and for sale for the VERY 1st time in 30 years is our EXTREMELY UNIQUE 1973 Porsche 914 with a Pro installed and engineered Wankel 13B Rotary motor.  This is NOT some backyard project, this was one of the VERY 1st 914 Rotary conversions ever done.  It was completed by 2 M.I.T. engineers in 1980 and completed in 1983.  I have a literal file cabinet full of drawings, receipts and schematics of this perfectly built custom machine.  Over $9000 spent on this conversion in the early 80s!  Here are some highlights:

 

• This is originally a California car
• Always garaged
• Rotary Wankel 13B motor about 200 hp
• Dogleg shifter
• Signal Orange (original color with 1 repaint in 80s)
• Racing 3 point belts
• Water cooled and perfectly tuned
• Targa top (As all 914s are)
• Custom made aluminum 15" wheels
• Pirelli tires (period correct in great shape)
• Recently inspected and titled
• VERY CLEAN
• Custom auxiliary gauge panel under dash
• Original gauges in tact and fully operational
• perfect interior
• too much to list...

 

 

The engineer of this car unfortunately passed away last year and I bought the car shortly after.  I bought the car to vintage race but had a change of heart and never got to the track.  So, either enjoy on the street or throw your lucky number on the side and hit the track.  This car is absolutely amazing.

If you are a Porsche purist or are looking for an all-original vehicle- this is not for you.  If you want one of the most unique cars on the road that is built to last, VERY FAST and guaranteed to grab attention- then you will not find a finer specimen than this.  Good Luck.

NOTE: I am BRAND NEW to ebay- I usually sell locally but due to the unique nature of this car, I wanted to get it out to more people.  Since I don't have a rating, I am MORE than happy to have people/mechanics come check out the car personally or provide more photos on request.  (Car is located in greater Boston, MA area) please come or have your representative come check it out.  Contact me with ANY questions!
