I have been restoring Porsche 911's and 914's for about 12 years now and know a good project from a nightmare. This is a good project car. The 914's are becoming more valuable so if you can do a reasonable part of this project yourself you can actually come out on the plus side instead of the typical upside down projects. These Porsche are super easy to work on and assemble compared to a 911. Parts are readily available as well as lots of help from enthusiasts in places like 914world.com, 914club.com and Pelicanparts.com. I bought this stalled project car from the previous owner thinking I would get to reassembly by this winter. Pair a body shop that cannot find the time to get to it with my other 4 project cars not moving as fast as I would like and I realize that I will not get to this for quite some time.
The previous owner bought this low mileage 914 totally intact and original in 2011. He soon after discovered some rust and decided to take on the repairs himself. He disassembled everything to be sure no rust was missed. He fixed the infamous hell hole, right longitudinal, the inner left rear quarter panel and inner front left wheel well in the rear outer corner. He cut the rear left quarter off because for easier to access to the inner quarter wall and because he intended to add GT flares. The project pretty much stalled there and I picked it up about 6 months ago. As you can see in the pictures the rear quarter panel and a piece he removed from the front fender need to be put back in place as well as a piece of the floor pan. This will be a quick fix for someone that knows how to weld. The battery tray is included and will have to be welded in place as well. The car includes just about everything you need to put it back together. From what I have noticed it is missing the dash top pad and the rear window. Front windshield Is there and I believe new. The engine is complete with the original fuel injection with computer with harness. The trans is 5 speed and still mounted to the engine. The balance of the body is in remarkably good condition with no rust in the front or rear trunks. The targa top is solid. The rear taillights are pretty decent but one will need to be glued back together. The original bumpers are included as are some nice parts that the previous owner collected. Most items are shown in the pictures. At the buy it now price I will include some earlier chrome bumpers and a rear fiberglass lower valance and new set of stainless steel fuel lines. The car and parts are located in Kenilworth, New Jersey and can be seen Monday - Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:30 PM. I will assist if you want to ship this car. I can have it delivered within 50 miles of Kenilworth but car must be paid for before I load it up on a trailer. I think I have covered it but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks and Happy Bidding! THIS WAS INCORRECTLY LISTED AS A 1973. IT IS A 1976. |

Supercar 'Holy Trinity' raced at the track, drag strip, and to 186 mph
Thu, Dec 3 2015There was a time when we weren't sure if we'd ever get the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder on the track together. Now, we've have a multi-part series dissecting how each supercar approaches all kinds of go-fast tasks. Supercar Driver (SCD) looks at their performances around the track, on the drag strip, and on a runway. SCD didn't get any help from the automakers, it used three cars all owned by one British gentleman, Paul Bailey. The first video has British Touring Car Championship driver Mat Jackson running all three around Silverstone. The second video takes the coupes to Santa Pod Raceway to run the quarter-mile. The third video runs them out to Bruntingthorpe Airfield for a drag race to 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph). We found that latter video especially interesting because SCD shows a graph of how fast each car hit speed marks, and it's interesting to see where the winner made up all of its time and the where the third-place getter lost its time. Nota bene, the McLaren is using its fly-paper sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. You'll find the first video in the series above, the second two videos below. If you still haven't had enough, then check out the Hyper 5 three-part series by Alejandro Solomon filmed at California's Thermal Raceway, starting with the Holy Trinity and adding the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and Pagani Huayra. Chris Harris also did fantastic work around Portimao with the help of Marino Franchitti and Tiff Needell, with assistance from the factories. This content is hosted by a third party.

Tesla, Porsche and Genesis top Consumer Reports owner satisfaction survey
Fri, Dec 22 2017Tesla swept Consumer Reports' latest Ownership Satisfaction Survey results, notching the top spot among brands evaluated. Its Model S also netted the No. 1 spot among the top 10 most-satisfying cars. Porsche and Genesis, Hyundai's new luxury spinoff, rounded out the top three brands. The bottom of the rankings was anchored by Acura, while Mercedes-Benz notched the least-satisfying car in the survey with the GLA, proving that the results weren't equally kind to all luxury brands. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, told USA Today those brands suffered by introducing cheaper vehicles. The scores, on a 100-point scale, reflect whether owners say the vehicles from model years 2015 through 2018 met their expectations and whether they would buy the same car again. They measure ratings in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio and climate systems (what, no cupholders?). Effectively, it gauges how much people liked the car they bought. Reliability is not considered. The Honda Ridgeline outscored competitors in the compact pickup segment by a wide margin, while the Ford F-350 was among the top 10-ranked vehicles in the survey, the first time in at least five years that a pickup made it into the top 10, Consumer Reports said. In the brand survey, Chrysler rose four places to No. 4 on strong customer satisfaction with the Pacifica minivan, while Hyundai tumbled 11 spots to No. 24 and Lexus fell eight places to 18th. Rounding out the top 10 most satisfying cars were the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, Lincoln Continental, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Toyota Prius, Tesla Model X SUV, Honda Odyssey minivan and Dodge Challenger. Not surprisingly, most of those cars, and indeed most of the high-ranking brands, are those with strong brand loyalty, fan-like followings and/or those that strike a strong emotional chord with buyers. The full brand rankings are below. Tesla (90) Porsche (85) Genesis (81) Chrysler (78) Audi (76) Mazda (76) Subaru (76) Toyota (76) Honda (75) Lincoln (75) Mini (73) Ram (73) Kia (72) Chevrolet (72) BMW (72) GMC (72) Ford (70) Lexus (70) Volvo (69) Dodge (68) Jeep (68) Mercedes-Benz (67) Volkswagen (67) Hyundai (67) Buick (66) Cadillac (64) Infiniti (60) Mitsubishi (58) Nissan (58) Acura (58) Related Video: Green Genesis Porsche Tesla Ownership satisfaction
VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers
Sun, Nov 8 2015If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.
