1974 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Mesa, Arizona, United States
Rust free AZ/CA car with steel Carrera flares. Exterior Porsche paint in great condition. Porsche galvanized engine lid with duck tail for perfect fit, and no future rust issues. Full SC suspension with aluminum trailing arms, adjustable spring plates, front and rear sway bars, S brakes, 7&8 Fuchs rims w/ new tires, lowered and corner balanced. This beautiful Porsche glides on rails. We all know that the factory 2.7 engine had its share of serious issues. One of the reason for Porsche in late 70's to change from the 2.7 engine to the more HP and reliable 3.0 engine. The 3.0 engine was used in 1974 for the RS, and the great racing RSR models. The prior owner who also took great care of this garaged queen, had installed the awesome 1978 SC 3.0L engine (6581688) transplant (receipt included). Engine has 15K miles with backdated correct 74 exhaust. This Super strong pulling, smooth power that will a 'put a smile on your face. Front oil cooler option keeps things running cool even on the very hot Arizona days. Rebuilt SC 915 gearbox shifts smooth, precise and confident. No sloppy shifting, grinding or popping out of gear. The aluminum cases are stronger, and have strengthened differntials. 8:31 final drive ratio. The 8:31 ring and pinions are significantly stronger then the earlier 215 7:31 ratio, and most desirable one to use with higher horsepower engines where service life doubled. Beautiful period correct Recaro seats, set off the ORIGINAL interior in very good condition including headliner, and with added New carpet. Everything works. Power windows, and sunroof options. Period Air Conditioning will need service/ charge as it hasn't been used in years. New Kenwood CD stereo w/remote, ipod/mp3 and usb hook ups. New speakers in the original location behind vintage Blaupunkt door covers only. Original spare tire, jack, toolkit, original exterior mirror, COA and receipts.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC
Sun, 19 Jan 2014In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
