For Sale: 1974 Porsche 914/4 2.0L

This car was meticulously restored and garage kept for years. It is built to resemble a 914/6 with the rare factory M471 styling package. I purchased it in December of 2009 and completed the assembly. The car has many period correct upgrades. It has professionally installed lap welded STEEL fender flares. The receipts for the paint alone equal near $4,000.00 in 1980s money. Paint is absolutely beautiful overall but the front trunk and windshield cowl have been repainted and are ok but not as nice as the rest of the car. Easily redone though. It has Koni adjustable shocks and lowering springs. The wheels are awesome period correct BBS (Mahle) with new Kumho Ecsta tires. Many new parts, (too much to list) such as, new clutch cable and throttle cable, weatherstrip, shift bushings, brakes, battery and clutch. It has a strong 2.0 litre engine with dual 44mm Weber carburetors. Many small improvements such as brass rollers on the rear trunk lid hinges and 911 mirrors. Interior is in really nice condition with short shift kit, dead pedal, Formuling steering wheel and good carpets and door panels. Header panel on the roll bar has only minor cracks and dash has none. Top is in excellent shape as is headliner.  The side shift transmission shifts fine and synchros are in good order. I have over $17,000 in receipts with the car in a folder. There is a Beechcraft airplane fuel filler door installed in the front trunk for fast fill ups without opening trunk and a race car look. It does not affect the trunk opening and closing. The car is set up for autocrossing and is totally streetable but handles incredibly. All electrical works except for the fog lights, horn (it did and I suspect horn button), and the oil temp gauge. There are some windshield rock chips, no cracks. The Ansa muffler  header has some rust holes that need to be welded but do not have any effect on function.  There is no rust to be found on the body including under the battery tray. I have driven this car with no issues from Lafayette, LA to Braselton, GA and back to camp out in the infield at Road Atlanta (1100 mile round trip). It got nearly 30 mpg average on this trip! Overall, this is a super fun, amazing handling vehicle that is a real head turner. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions. 337-591-7766 Paul

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part three

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and has an associates degree in dropping f-bombs. For Part One, click here. Part Two is here. Really hoped I'd be able to grab an hour or two of sleep before the sun rose over Le Mans. Dark dark dark, couldn't figure out what was going on. Commentators struggled at times as well. But I couldn't do it. Endurance racing is just too exciting. Grabs my attention with both fists. Screams, "watch these men DRIVE!" A neighbor invited me over for drinks. Told him, "Can't do it, gotta watch Le Mans!" Maybe not exactly. I'll admit, at times my attention wandered. I did a load of laundry. Ate some snacks. Half listened to the commentary. Threw a hump at my wife. I learned that Patrick Long, driving #88, is big brother to Kevin "Spanky" Long. Spanky's a bit of a legend in the skate world. Always weird how top notch talent can run in families like that. Kind of surprised I've never heard that before. Worked for a skate mag for a years, met Spanky a handful of times. Someone must've told me that he has an older brother who drives race cars. Dash cams at night are scary. High powered headlights in the P1s reach almost 300 meters. Cars outrun that distance easy. Seems like they're just steering into the black and hoping for the best. But that can't be the case. People'd be dropping dead let and right. Very amused by how the guys in GT are like, "Dude, stop flashing your fucking lights before you pass." But the LMP's are all, "Suck a dick! I do what I want." Top three stayed neck and neck nearly all night long. As the sun gets ready to creep back over the horizon the top three are separated by only eleven and a half seconds. Toyota 5 and 6, Porsche 2. Audi 8 is two laps behind Porsche, beleaguered 7 is dealing with constant trouble eleven laps from the front. GTE Pro sees Ferrari 82 in first, Ford 68 and 69 right behind. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect. Fours cars retired so far. I'm beginning to appreciate the endurance aspect a little more fully. Only really considered the drivers at first. The mental and physical stress driving these cars at these speeds at length would inflict. But keeping the damn things running is the real deal. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect.

Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
