This original 1971 914 was the straightest, truest 914 I'd ever seen with Zero rust anywhere and a great platform for conversion. The concept of this project was to build a street legal race car that hailed back to the days you drove your Porsche to the track, removed the spare tire and any unnecessary weight, raced all weekend and drove home. So anything that didn't make it faster was left off. So there is no heat and the only vent is a hose from the grill at the base of the windshield inside, pointed at the driver. [I'll throw in a dash from a '76 914 on request] Every part of this car has been removed and upgraded with only the original fuse panel headlight motors unchanged. The shop that did the body work did an excellent job on the fit and finish of the fiberglass bonding everything inside and out. Their paintwork although 99% perfect has some flaws that showed up shortly after painting. I think from uncured resin out gassing. The flaws are small and may be corrected by color sanding. I know there are multiple coats of PPG single stage black applied. This car is lightweight, solid, scary fast with a great exhaust note and begs to be flogged. It has never made it to any track and after completion I lost interest. It deserves a new home. The odometer has 86114 miles but may not be original will display top speed of 150 mph. The tach needle recently started bouncing, so may need a new coaxial lead to the distributor sensor. There is a new VDO oil pressure gauge in the dash and the temp gauge above the fuel gauge is hooked up and working. The fuel gauge and reserve light are working and accurate. The reserve price represents just what I have spent out of pocket on the engine core, the rebuild, the PMO carburetor system, so the car, bodywork, paint job, interior redo and the 1000 hours sweating every detail is a bonus. The car comes with a custom fit cover, and an extra top. I purchased this car in 1995 pretty much stock 914 1.7.Started the conversion in 2001 and finished 2011. I accept Paypal,cashiers check,cash and winning bidder must pay $1000 Paypal deposit within 24 hours with the balance due in 10 days. Buyer is responsible for any transport or shipping from Kansas City but I will cooperate with carrier/transporter. |

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Porsche planning Cayman GT4, 700-hp Turbo S e-Hybrids
Fri, May 9 2014The old wisdom when it came to the Porsche lineup was that the Boxster and Cayman needed to be kept in line so as not to encroach on even the lower end of the 911 range. But with the latest versions of the compact roadster and coupe, that logic has gone out the window. Especially with the introduction of the latest GTS models (pictured above). But that's not the end of the story. According to Motor Trend, Porsche is working on an even more powerful version of the Cayman that could carry the GT4 badge, positioning itself along the same lines as the 911 GT3 and GT2 – only, you know, smaller. Although our sources at Porsche would, predictably, neither confirm nor deny the report, MT has it that power could come from either a turbo-four or a more powerful flat-six, mated to the beefed-up DCT from the latest 911 GT3. A similar version of the Boxster could bring back the RS Spyder designation. That's not all Porsche is said to have in store, though. Based on the engineering that went into the 918 Spyder, Porsche could roll out a new range-topping model for the 911, Panamera and maybe even the Cayenne, packing a version of the 918's PHEV powertrain. Slotting in above the existing Turbo S variants of each model line, the new flagship models could pack 700 horsepower or more and be designated e-Hybrid in similar fashion as the 918.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
