1970 Porsche 914/6 Original 6 Cyl Model One Of 3333 Made! 9140430933 on 2040-cars
Little Falls, New Jersey, United States
Original six, VIN 9140430933 with certificate of authenticity. Number 933 out of 3333 6 cylinder models made. Prefix on the title is 3. I know the 2 prior owners and have a pretty good idea what's been done to the car before i got the car. Car was repainted black in early nineties. At that time the rear fenders were cut, metal added and rewelded for a nice soft flare look while retaining the original lip. Original color was # 15, Irish (Forest) green. At the same time the engine was swapped to a 2.4 (as per # on engine case). Engine runs strong! Started right up this morning!
The good: Car runs like a raped ape! When I first got the car in 2005, i dropped the engine and transaxle to replace clutch and flywheel, adjust valves and redo carbs. I have pictures of the engine/transaxle removal. In addition, I have a receipt for over $10,000 of work from 2007. The minor rust issues were taken care of professionally by Powertech, a reputable Porsche Repair shop in North Jersey. Rust repairs included the driver side wheel well, right side rear frame area in engine compartment (under original battery pan area), and partial floor pan replaced. Link to chassis pictures below. It looks as good or better underneath then on top! At the same time I had the engine resealed, new style (bronze?) cam tensioner bushings installed, and leakdown tested (test results will be provided with car, results are; one cylinder had 3% leakage and the rest were 1 or 2 % leakage.) New carpet and driver side seat cover was installed at that time. Carrera front end with new Porterfield pads and new rotors in the summer of 2008. New stainless brake lines, new hard lines as well. Car has fresh as of 2008 Koni yellows in the rear with 165 progressive springs. Also a Rennshift shifter, original transaxle converted to sideshift, bronze bushing in shifter console and shifts pretty decent for 1970 technology. I have original shifter and knob with the throttle linkage that goes with the package. Comes with 2 sets of fake fuchs, 15x7 and 15x8, one set has low mileage kumho asx tires while the other set has Hoosier A6's from 2008 with 0 runs on them. Battery mounted in front trunk, front mount oil cooler with stainless lines from engine, tilton brake bias valve, Electromotive crankfire ignition, K&N airfilters, battery cutoff, bolt in roll cage with camera mount (Note some pieces of roll bar are not mounted now, namely the two door bars and the top front bar), OMP seats mounted on original sliders (pass side too), 4 pt. harnesses, Sony Cd/mp3 player with powered subwoofer mounted behind passenger seat, weltmeister front bar, weltmeister rear bar (not installed), extra street pads, new hp plus front pads, uninstalled aluminum upper rear shock mounts (Brad's), front tow bar mount and tow bar are included. Wipers work, headlights work, brake lights work, reverse lights work, interior lights work. Included are the original shifter including the hand throttle plus extra head light motors, accelerator cable mount, rear caliper parts, steering parts, clutch cable, and so on. Please see the pictures. Also included with the sale is a folder and note book of pertinent info such as engine #, Strut #. air gap for ignition, copy of prior title, etc. etc. The bad, Non original tach, combo gauge, and gas gauge. No heat due to headers. Defroster does not work (note, light comes on but no fan). Shifting too fast from first to second will cause a slight grinding noise. Could be a linkage adjustment. Under normal shifting, no grinding when shifting any gears. Small superficial rust spots can be seen on the bottom side of trunk pan. See the chassis picture link below. Paint is not that great. Shines nice when waxed but still see some scratches and small indentations. There is some hazing in the paint on both doors from when I left the magnetic numbers on after being in 95 degree heat at an autocross, then getting caught in a rainstorm afterward and leaving the numbers on the car for a week. Hood and trunk (Mostly trunk) have some indentations agout the size of a dime. There are a few little spots just below drivers side sail panel where the paint is bubbling that may be rust. On the front passenger fender, there is a small spot where the paint peeled off. The rest of the car has some minor scratches as well, but overall, the car shows pretty good when detailed . Not too bad looking for a 24 year old paint job on a 44 year old car. Also, the headliner (yes it's still there!) has an indentation from the roll bar going from left to right, the targa top has two small dings on the rear (see picture), the front left parking light is cracked and there are light scratches on the front left fender and the rear right side of the trunk lid. The scratches buff out with a machine and a filler type wax. i looked over this car to the best of my ability however, there may be other really light scratches and imperfections on the car that i did not notice. Please remember this is not a minty cream puff but a good looking, extremely solid example of a rare classic from 1970. I will make myself available for the buyers choice of a car pick up service after the payment is cleared with my bank. Here is a link to many pictures on flickr.

Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
11M VW diesels affected, Porsche and Audi under investigation
Tue, Sep 22 2015Volkswagen's diesel scandal is growing exponentially larger. In a new statement, the company admits that 11 million vehicles worldwide might be equipped with software capable of evading emissions testing. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is beginning an investigation into the 3.0-liter V6 in Audi models and the Porsche Cayenne in the US, according to The Detroit News. The automaker claims that from its investigation so far, the "relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines." However, the company finds that the "noticeable deviation" in test results and real-world numbers only relates to the Type EA 189 powerplant. That still leaves 11 million vehicles potentially skirting emissions rules, though. Governments around the world have started taking a closer look into the company, too. In the US, the EPA has begun testing VW's V6 diesel because "they were certified well before we knew what we know now," Christopher Grundler, director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said to The Detroit News. The agency has started checking diesels from other automakers to make sure they're meeting the rules, as well. Germany, the European Union, and South Korea have instituted similar investigations. In response, VW is setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion at current rates) to cover servicing all of these diesels. The company admits that the figure might have to be adjusted depending on what happens next. The money is being deducted from its third-quarter earnings. Related Video: VOLKSWAGEN AG HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: Sep 22, 2015 Volkswagen is working at full speed to clarify irregularities concerning a particular software used in diesel engines. New vehicles from the Volkswagen Group with EU 6 diesel engines currently available in the European Union comply with legal requirements and environmental standards. The software in question does not affect handling, consumption or emissions. This gives clarity to customers and dealers. Further internal investigations conducted to date have established that the relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines. For the majority of these engines the software does not have any effect. Discrepancies relate to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines, involving some eleven million vehicles worldwide.
1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good
Thu, Jan 23 2014Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.
