This is the 790th 914 to roll off the line in 1969! Original paint coat: BLACK! This car has lots of history and is one of the first thousand off the line...unfortunately, it has some rust to tell the story. This car looks great from 15 feet away, but has had some shoddy over-sprays and repairs to the paint job. Apart from the body rust that has been patched, there is a rotten section of the longitudinal that makes the car structurally somewhat questionable. Eventually it will need a new long, and most likely rear wheel well as the metal is rusted through badly. The car will sometimes make a creaking noise when changing camber (driveway)...unpleasant...Despite this, the car seems to handle and drive very well and is super peppy. It will burn its wheels with almost no effort...Essentially, the engine in this is GREAT! Interior is in amazing condition, and everything pretty much works all around.

I have had it evaluated by a body shop and they told me it is drivable, but to keep an eye on the door gap.

This engine is an EC Case Rebuild to 2056cc by Mark Stephens (non-matching #'s), and is quick with the 44's. Has ~6k miles on it (post rebuild) according to the PO. I have put on <1k miles. Happy to answer any questions.

I am selling the car because I will be traveling later this year and cannot rationalize the storage costs.

The Good:

Rebuilt 2056cc Motor by Mark Stephens in Denver 96mm Heads, Weber Racing Cam and Weber 44IDF Carbs...911 Valve screws (From PO)

....that have been blasted, rebuilt, re-gasketed and jetted and tuned to altitude (by Carquip).

Upgraded later model side-shift 5-speed transmission!

Upgraded Adjustable Passenger Seat!

Custom Upgraded Gauge Cluster with Oil Pressure/Temp/Fuel and 911 Speedometer!

Newly Reupholstered Seats and a very clean original black basket-weave interior!

Awesome custom sound-system with subwoofer built into console!

Original "Gas Burner" Mahle Rims (Most Lightweight 914 Rims ever).

Euro Head and Tail Lights!

Original Great condition Chrome Bumpers with original Hella Fog Lights!

New Carpet Set!

The Bad:

Paint is failing all over the car. DAPO repeatedly patched up spots on the car with bondo and sprayed over...paint was matched to Irish Green. It is a quck paint and its not great...

Pass side longitudinal and jackpoint has BAD RUST, and hell holes are rusted a bit as well.

Synchro's in 1st and second may need some attention

The Deal: This a very cool example of an early 914 with a very fast engine....it has been used as a daily driver and has a strong motor but could use some TLC in terms of body work and rust.

Car also comes with a 914 car bra, a dust cover, Haynes manual and some random odds and ends.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves

Wed, Feb 4 2015

We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.

NHTSA closes probe into 2011 Porsche 911 coolant leaks

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it will end its investigation into rapid coolant loss in 24,635 Porsche 911s built between 2001 and 2011. The models affected included the standard 911, GT2, GT3 and Turbo, as well as their variants (GT2 RS, GT3 RS and Turbo S).
NHTSA was investigating for "rapid coolant loss caused by coolant pipe-fitting failure, allegedly resulting in vehicle disablement and/or loss of vehicle control due to reduced traction for the affected vehicle or following traffic," according to the regulators website. "Most of the leak complaints did not appear to involve complete separation of the fittings and many were detected when the vehicle was parked," said NHTSA's statement.
There were 63 complaints and 336 warranty claims, although the investigation was initiated after ten complaints from customers. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries attributed to rapid coolant loss.
