Up for auction and for sale for the VERY 1st time in 30 years is our EXTREMELY UNIQUE 1973 Porsche 914 with a Pro installed and engineered Wankel 13B Rotary motor. This is NOT some backyard project, this was one of the VERY 1st 914 Rotary conversions ever done. It was completed by 2 M.I.T. engineers in 1980 and completed in 1983. I have a literal file cabinet full of drawings, receipts and schematics of this perfectly built custom machine. Over $9000 spent on this conversion in the early 80s! Here are some highlights:
- This is originally a California car
- Always garaged
- Rotary Wankel 13B motor about 200 hp
- Dogleg shifter
- Signal Orange (original color with 1 repaint in 80s)
- Racing 3 point belts
- Water cooled and perfectly tuned
- Targa top (As all 914s are)
- Custom made aluminum 15" wheels
- Pirelli tires (period correct in great shape)
- Recently inspected and titled
- VERY CLEAN
- Custom auxiliary gauge panel under dash
- Original gauges in tact and fully operational
- perfect interior
- too much to list...
The engineer of this car unfortunately passed away last year and I bought the car shortly after. I bought the car to vintage race but had a change of heart and never got to the track. So, either enjoy on the street or throw your lucky number on the side and hit the track. This car is absolutely amazing.
If you are a Porsche purist or are looking for an all-original vehicle- this is not for you. If you want one of the most unique cars on the road that is built to last, VERY FAST and guaranteed to grab attention- then you will not find a finer specimen than this. Good Luck.
NOTE: I am BRAND NEW to ebay- I usually sell locally but due to the unique nature of this car, I wanted to get it out to more people. Since I don't have a rating, I am MORE than happy to have people/mechanics come check out the car personally or provide more photos on request. (Car is located in greater Boston, MA area) please come or have your representative come check it out. Contact me with ANY questions!

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche
Mon, 21 Jul 2014We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.
2014 Porsche Cayman S
Tue, 19 Feb 2013A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.
