1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
For Sale :
This 914-6 Needs a FULL restoration. 1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 Engine ser. # 6405500 (Unknown miles on engine/trans) Transmission model/ser. # 914/01 , 7502252 I'm pretty sure this is a number matching car. The color is black metallic but looks like a dark Gray (the paint is in rough shape). The car has a set of factory steel flares installed. I know most of this car's history (from mid 80's to current). The original engine/transmission was removed from the car in 1986/87. The org. engine/trans ran fine when it was removed but I would recommend a refresh on both. There is Weltmiester adjustable front & rear sway bars installed. The org. front suspension was replaced with a later 911 SC 3.5'' Boge struts with the aluminum S calipers, 911 SC front aluminum crossmember, and larger mm torsion bars in the factory A-arms. The p/o made his own front adjustable caster/camber plates but should be an easy retro to the factory parts. The shocks are adjustable Koni sports front and rear with 140 lb. springs. The rear bumper is installed but the front bumper/valance is still off the car. I can install the front bumper and valance prior to shipping. I know there's several parts missing from this car and will do my best to list them all. The missing parts can be found at various vendors/Porsche sites. Missing parts : (There maybe more then what's listed but this is what I know for sure) Rear calipers, engine relay board, oil tank/associated parts, carbs/intake manifolds/linkage, some interior trim pieces, speedo, tach, engine oil cooler, and all the rubber oil lines. Rust problems that I know of : Needs a full floor pan, right side lower firewall in engine bay, under battery tray area (aka the hell hole), right rear outer long, rear trunk pan, rear lid has rust spot, fenders in different spots, doors need to be repaired/replaced, and lower inner firewall on both sides. I inspected the inner rockers. The right side needs to be replaced and drivers side appears to be in good shape. The drivers side jack post looks like it will need to be replaced. There maybe more area's but this is what I can see. I installed the engine and transmission for the ease of shipping. I have the vehicle listed for sale on Pelican Parts and 914World sites. I also have the vehicle listed locally and could terminate this listing at anytime. If a buyer wants to have a PPI performed (at buyers expense) I will do my best to assist with it. I will do my best to answer any questions. I will take more pics of the car and other area's upon request. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with parts listed above. The buyer is to arrange and pay for shipping of the vehicle. The winning bidder is to contact me with there contact info within two days to make arrangements for payment. DO NOT BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS!!!! ask any questions you may have prior to bidding |

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
Roger Rodas' Widow Suing Porsche Over Carrera GT Crash
Tue, May 13 2014Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America. In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment – namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank. "The Carrera GT was unsafe for its intended use by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents, so that it would not safely serve its purpose," according to the specifics of the suit obtained by the Los Angeles Times. When reached for comment, Porsche Cars North America spokesman Nick Twork told Autoblog: We are very sorry for the Rodas and Walker family's loss. The crash was the subject of a detailed investigation by the proper authorities (L.A. County Sheriff and California Highway Patrol), and their investigation disproves the allegations in the lawsuit. The investigation found that driving at a high speed in a negligent manner caused the crash and concluded that there was no mechanical defect. The Carrera GT is known as a difficult car to drive. As the LA Times report points out, Jay Leno spun one at Talladega in 2005, and the following year, Porsche paid part of a multi-million-dollar settlement after two were killed on a track when their Carrera GT struck a slower-moving Ferrari. The Rodas lawsuit could very well point to that previous suit from San Diego Superior Court. Whether the court in LA will hand down a similar ruling remains to be seen.
2022 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance Mega Gallery | The show in pictures
Mon, May 23 2022COMO, Italy — Held annually, the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance is, in many ways, Europe's version of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It takes place in a beautiful location, and it brings together an impressive selection of rare and valuable cars. It's a real treat for the eyes, the ears, and, if you're into champagne, the palate. The 2022 edition of the show was no exception: About 50 cars were shipped to Lake Como from over a dozen countries, and it wasn't just the usual suspects. Sure, there were a lot of pre-war cars (including a couple of one-off models), but some of the icons that younger enthusiasts grew up with (like the Lamborghini Countach) were present as well. This year's event was split into eight categories: The Art Deco Era of Motor Car Design, The Supercharged Mercedes-Benz, How Grand Entrances Were Once Made, Eight Decades of Ferrari Represented in Eight Icons, "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday," BMW's M Cars and Their Ancestors, Pioneers That Chased the Magic 300 KPH, And a design award for concept and prototypes. The jury gave the coveted "best of show" award to a 1937 Bugatti 57 S owned by Andrew Picker of Monaco, while the aforementioned classes were won by, respectively: The Bugatti 57 S, shown below, A 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet, A 1956 Chrysler Boano Coupe Speciale, A 1966 Ferrari 356 P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti, A 1961 Porsche 356 B Carrera Abarth GTL, A 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, A 1989 Porsche 959 Sport, And the Bugatti Bolide concept unveiled in 2020. Winning at Villa d'Este is a big deal: The cars are judged by a panel of highly experienced judges. No one gave me a scoring sheet, presumably out of fear that I'd award points to the late-model Fiat 600 lurking in the parking lot, but several cars that didn't win an award caught my eye. One is a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, a grand-prix racer that was once owned by King Leopold III of Belgium and that has never been restored — its patina is inimitable. Another is a 1961 BMW 700 RS. One of two built (the other is in the BMW collection), it's a tiny, ultra-light roadster related to the 700 and powered by a 697-cubic-centimeter air-cooled flat-twin tuned to develop 70 horsepower. It won several hill-climb events during the 1960s, and it's one of the rarest cars ever to wear a BMW roundel. Aston Martin's freshly-restored 1979 Bulldog concept was cool to see as well; check out the cassette player integrated into the headliner!
