This is a '72 914 that I have built over the last four years to be a fun, daily driver/sleeper that will not attract too much attention, but will pull like a freight train when prodded. I have owned 914's back to 1983, seven total, and this is by far the most solid one. A life-long Calif. car, till shipped to Mich. for the conversion, it never had undercoat, so the original paint is visible on the pan. There is no rust in the floor, or rocker/long areas. Battery tray was removed, and located in the front trunk for weight balancing, and a simplified engine bay. The car was block sanded, and painted in base/clear Silver, to match original. Door shell interiors, and under floor pan were given coats of Waxoyl, a British sealer treatment to keep her rust free. The goal was to have a car I could hop in, have start instantly, and drive in whatever weather happened without worrying about her. Fuel tank was perfect, was cleaned, and sealed inside with an epoxy tank treatment. Rubber fuel lines are now braided stainless -6 lines. Windshield and rear glass were pulled for body work, and replaced by a pro, so no leaks. All lights and signals work, as do the emergency brake. Most of the cars rubber has been replaced with new, from 914 Rubber. All brake calipers are new in last four years, with new Mintax pads. New 19mm master cylinder upgrade, new 930 Turbo tie rods installed. Koni adj. shocks on rear, with 200 lb. springs, and Koni front inserts. Interior has new Perlon carpet set installed, and new dask cap. Seats are near perfect, as is the full interior. New, hi-output fuel pump, and Corvette filter, tank return installed. New brake fluid installed this May, and rear pad vent distance set. Three extra gauges installed in place of radio: oil pre., coolant temp, and voltmeter. The car has the Renegade aluminum radiator/fan set up, and runs under 180 deg. at all times. Aluminum tubing carries the coolant under the car to the rad. Pedal's have been rebuilt with bronze bushings, new clutch cable, Optima battery with billet battery hold down in front trunk. Mileage is correct, and odometer has been converted for the tire size, and gearing. Transaxle is a Renegade 4 speed conversion, with flipped tall gears in 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and was sent to Carlos at Bluesky for a full rebuild. Car has polished Fuch 4 bolt wheels, and a 5th with original spare mounted, (which has a lot of rash from curbing, but is functional). Tires are older Pirelli, but with full tread. Front and rear bumpers are fiberglass.

Engine is Chevy LS-1 from a '98 Camero, with original ECU gone thru to eliminate all un-needed stuff, wiring harness by Renegade Hybrides, as well as full LS install kit from Renegade ($3,000.) It starts instantly, runs quietly ,thru new pair of Walker Dynomax mufflers, but when you floor it, has gobs of torque, and is going 30 mph faster before you can react, even with the longer gearing. Cruising at 70mph is around 2700 rpm. At full throttle, the engine note is great, but no droning at cruise. This is a very nice clean driver; a few things remain to finish, and are: Tach is converted for 8 cyl, but need signal booster box wired in, (box included with car). Wipers have stopped working, but a complete wiper motor/assemble, also included. No heater or blower, due to the Chevy conversion, Renegade has kits for this, as well as air cond. if wanted. Some gear noise present in top gear despite full rebuild from Bluesky (build sheet, and receipts included with sale. I have a ton of hours in the car, and will answer any questions I can. call: 231-946-0724 Tom. Reserve is set low; once sold a paypal deposit of $500. must be sent within 24 hrs., and the balance paid via certified check or bank wire within 72 hrs.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]

Thu, 22 May 2014

You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.

Porsche 911 Targa 4S special makes us want to go Dutch

Mon, Apr 20 2015

There's a long list of things that make us love the Netherlands, and not all of them involve activities that would be illegal in most of the United States. Like this latest special edition Porsche 911, for example. Unveiled at AutoRAI 2015 – Holland's premier car show that opened last week Â– the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Zuffenhausen's iconic partial convertible. It's decked out in Gulf blue, but instead of contrasting with bright orange, nearly everything else on this special Elfen is blacked out: The 20-inch Fuchs-style alloys, the throwback quarter-panel racing stripes, the LED headlight frames... everything but the signature Targa roof bar, which keeps its brushed metal finish. The interior is rather more subdued than you'd find on most special editions, with throwback houndstooth fabric seats and silver stitching. Power comes from the 3.8-liter boxer-six driving 400 horses to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sport Chrono Package Plus, a sports exhaust, adaptive suspension and Bose audio system are all fitted as standard. Options include carbon-ceramic brakes, a seven-speed manual transmission and a 30-horse Powerkit. As the name suggests, though, this is a rather exclusive edition indeed. All fifteen examples will be made available exclusively in the Netherlands, priced from Âˆ223,230 with the PDK or Âˆ229,500 with the manual. That's more than you'd pay for a 911 Turbo Cabrio in the same country, and works out to more than $240k at today's conversion rates.

Dit model wordt in een oplage van 15 exemplaren door Porsche Exclusive geproduceerd om '50 jaar Targa' te vieren. Alle modellen zijn uitgevoerd in het herkenbare Gulfblauw met accenten in hoogglans zwart en lichtmetalen wielen in het klassieke 'Fuchs-design'. Elke 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition wordt geleverd met een fotoboek van de auto en het productieproces. Aansluitend aan de AutoRAI start de levering. De 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition is er vanaf Âˆ 223.230. De 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition is speciaal voor de Nederlandse markt ontwikkeld ter ere van 50 jaar Targa.
