For sale is a 1975 Porsche 914 Barn Find. This car was on the road last in 2000. Previous owner said he bought the car in 1985 and enjoyed driving it for 15 years, then a few issues with the fuel injection system parked the car in 2000 and before you know it, its 2014 and time to move it on. The body is very straight and no damage and all panel gaps are even. Odometer reads 77,242 but I cannot verify that this is original mileage, but previous owner said it was correct. The interior is in great condition except for one small (1"x 1") tear in the drivers seat. Door panels and dash are in great condition, carpet is a little faded.

The previous owner said he had the car repainted in 1999, and for the most part the paint looks fine, but there are a few places where rust has bubbled through around the bottom of the window and around the top of the doors. The floor boards are solid and rust free. Rockers look rust free and I have jacked the car up using the factory jack system and there is no issue in that area. Front trunk must have had a rust issue in the bottom of the spare tire area, as the previous owner had cut out a section and never got around to finishing the repair. I can not get the rear trunk hatch to open, so can not say what its like, other than it looks solid from under side. Both door locks do not work from the out side, but work fine from the inside, previous owner told me that was a common 914 problem and it needed a small new part to fix them. Brakes are rusty and will need over hauling. Battery tray is total rusted out, typical 914 problem. The exhaust system is also rusted out from sitting for 14 years. I did not try to start the engine or shift the transmission, but previous owner said they both worked fine when he parked it in 2000 to fix the fuel injection. Wheels are standard 914 aluminum with almost new tires. All gauges and lights look fine, however, I didn't install a battery to check them out. Car seems to be very original and I have the original ignition key. I purchased this car with the hopes of building a track car, but life has got in the way and need to move this car on to someone who will restore it. The car does not run, drive or stop, so it will need to be towed away. The car includes the original jack and tool set as well as a spare tire and aluminum wheel.

Title is a clear Florida title.

A $500 deposit to PayPal is required from the buyer within 24 hours of the winning bid, and remainder in cash, PayPal or money order before pick up of car.

Transportation is at buyers expense, and car will have to be towed as it does not run or stop.

Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties

Wed, 14 May 2014

These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
