The motor is stock with fuel injection but needs rebuilding. It has had some minor rust problems, mainly in the battery box, but was treated with naval jelly and a rust inhibitor paint. The pictures do not show the right side of the car due to the proximity to the garage wall, but is in good condition except for a two inch scratch on the right door caused by a garage door roller that fell between the car and the wall. The interior is in good condition for it's age, except for a separation of the seam on the drivers seat and a small tear on the console (can be seen in the pictures)."

I am the second owner of this car, having bought it in 1976.  It was my primary transportation for about 5 years and then was garaged and used on weekends and as an ongoing project car.  I've made several improvements to the car, including new front and rear rubber bumpers and bumper guards, new front spoiler, fuel pump relocation (to stop vapor locking), muffler, short shifter, and various small parts (like a broken door handle).  Also included with this car are these "new" parts (parts that I bought over the years but never put on the car):  K&N oil filter; Bosch air filter; Conti Tech alternator belt; starter relay; 2 Mintex brake pads; 2 Turbo Tie Rods with 2 washers; 2 Lemforder ball joints; 2 steering box boots; 2 packs of 4 emblem fasteners.  Also, a well used Haynes manual and a 914 Tech Tips 700 book. 

I've owned this car for 37 years.  She's not perfect, but she was well maintained and, except for the first 5 years that I drove it, has always been in a garage.  Due to my work, the car has been idle for a few years now, so I've decided it was time to let someone else get her back on the road again.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
