This original 1971 914 was the straightest, truest 914 I'd ever seen with Zero rust anywhere and a great platform for conversion. The concept of this project was to build a street legal race car that hailed back to the days you drove your Porsche to the track, removed the spare tire and any unnecessary weight, raced all weekend and drove home. So anything that didn't make it faster was left off. So there is no heat and the only vent is a hose from the grill at the base of the windshield inside, pointed at the driver. [I'll throw in a dash from a '76 914 on request] Every part of this car has been removed and upgraded with only the original fuse panel headlight motors unchanged. The shop that did the body work did an excellent job on the fit and finish of the fiberglass bonding everything inside and out. Their paintwork although 99% perfect has some flaws that showed up shortly after painting. I think from uncured resin out gassing. The flaws are small and may be corrected by color sanding. I know there are multiple coats of PPG single stage black applied. This car is lightweight, solid, scary fast with a great exhaust note and begs to be flogged. It has never made it to any track and after completion I lost interest. It deserves a new home. The odometer has 86114 miles but may not be original will display top speed of 150 mph. The tach needle recently started bouncing, so may need a new coaxial lead to the distributor sensor. There is a new VDO oil pressure gauge in the dash and the temp gauge above the fuel gauge is hooked up and working. The fuel gauge and reserve light are working and accurate. The reserve price represents just what I have spent out of pocket on the engine core, the rebuild, the PMO carburetor system, so the car, bodywork, paint job, interior redo and the 1000 hours sweating every detail is a bonus. The car comes with a custom fit cover, and an extra top. I purchased this car in 1995 pretty much stock 914 1.7.Started the conversion in 2001 and finished 2011. I accept Paypal,cashiers check,cash and winning bidder must pay $1000 Paypal deposit within 24 hours with the balance due in 10 days. Buyer is responsible for any transport or shipping from Kansas City but I will cooperate with carrier/transporter. |

Wed, Jan 19 2022Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery.

LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen
Tue, 10 Jun 2014It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
