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 Macan Turbo vs Cayman GTS in track battle
Fri, 19 Sep 2014"Well this is stupid." On the surface, that was our reaction to this video, as well. Why would you compare the hottest Porsche Cayman with a crossover of any kind, even if it is the 400-horsepower Macan Turbo?
We're guessing because it'd be bloody good fun, as evidenced Auto Express's latest track battle. To be fair, there is some interesting stuff here. The two do have a similar starting price, separated by less than $3,000 here in the US market. And, factoring in the Macan's hefty horsepower and torque advantages - 60 horsepower and 126 pound-feet - does make for a slightly interesting comparison.
We won't spoil the verdict, so check out the full video from Auto Express, and then let us know what you think in Comments.
2015 Porsche Cayman GTS
Thu, 29 May 2014The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.
Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
