Just pulled this car out of a Garage. Vin #4722908728 It had been there since the early 90's. For an east coast guy this car is a rust free as they come.

The '72 is an original California car. It was converted in the late eighties with all the period goodies. The car was converted to 5 lugs with BMW front calipers. Turbo tie rods, new ball joints and new torsion bars. Koni's all round. The GT flares front and rear are fiberglass. It has a front fiberglass bumper with rear fiberglass 916 style belly pan. The rocker covers are flared fiberglass. The car was painted with a metalic blue gray paint over an original #60E green car.

The longs, floors, and hell hole are as solid as I have ever seen. The rear trunk section above the muffler was replaced with replacement sheet metal. The front trunk is intact and original. The car appears to have no accident damage. The paint is in the 20 footer category. The underlying bodywork was poorly done as were the fiberglass flares. The passenger rear flare is cracking. The paint has several blemishes in it.

The previous owner was a BMW fan. He did the front brake conversion with BMW calipers The interior is really nice aside from a cracked dash and some tired carpeting the cockpit is really presentable. The door panels are very nice. The car needs some weatherstripping in the doors and windows.

The gas tank was removed , cleaned, sealed, and painted. The fuel pump was relocated to the front. There are braided fuel lines running through the tunnel to the engine compartment where a fuel regulator controls the flow.

The wheels are cookie cutters 15 inch. The tires are pretty bald and need to be replaced. The engine lid is currently removed but will be sold with the car.

I also have an engine and transmission from a 73 that is available separately. The engine is a 1.7 with D-Jet fuel injection. It was rebuilt by the previous owner. it is complete with a clutch. Also available is a 901 side shift transmission. Please contact me for cost of the drivetrain.

So what you have is a nice rust free California 914 roller which has 5 lugs, BMW calipers, GT Flares, BMW seats.

Car is sold as a roller with Bill of Sale ONLY NO TITLE

Contact me for any questions.

This is an easy project for someone if you can turn a wrench. You could have this car running in a weekend. This car only needs a motor and trans bolted in to get it back on the road. Everything else is there: 5 lug conversion, suspension, brakes, wiring, lights, nice interior, fuel system, battery. You can have yourself a nice flared gt car for a fraction of the cost it would take to build one yourself.

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks even better in the flesh [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

You should never, ever, ever buy a new Porsche 911 GT3 when it first comes out. That's not to say it's somehow bad. It's just that the debut of a new GT3 is, almost without fail, followed by a GT3 RS. GT3: good. GT3 RS: better. This is the latest hot 911, and it comes out shooting with a 4.0-liter flat-six, complete with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque. As we explained earlier this morning, sitting behind the wheel of the GT3 RS means 60 miles per hour is just 3.1 seconds away. That is, frankly, a hilariously fast time for a rear-drive, naturally aspirated vehicle with just 500 hp. Consider the new Ferrari 488 GTB, if you will – it has an extra 160 horsepower, (probably) two turbochargers and two more cylinders, and it's only a tenth of a second faster to 62 than the Porsche is to 60. Any Porsche worth its salt will be as rapid in the corners as it is on the straights, and the GT3 RS is no different. It managed to trim five seconds off the standard GT3's Nurburgring time, thanks in part to Porsche's dedication to weight reduction. It's down 22 pounds on the standard car, thanks to magnesium and carbon fiber components. On top of that, Porsche pushed the aerodynamics with a track-ready rear wing and a fairly substantial front splitter. Of course, you know all of this, because we covered it this morning. Still, it seemed worth recapping as we delivered our very own, live-from-Geneva photos of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Take a look. Related Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS: the Ultimate 911 for High-Performance Drivers Atlanta. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS breaks down the barrier between road-going sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum amount of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 suitable for everyday driving. Extensive modifications to its drivetrain, aerodynamics, and lightweight design take performance to an even higher level than the 911 GT3. With a Nuerburgring Nordschleife lap time of seven minutes and 20 seconds, the new 911 GT3 RS surpasses the 911 GT3 by five seconds, making it the fastest current generation 911 on the famous German racetrack. The 911 GT3 RS is celebrating its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. Motorsport expertise is the driving force behind this superior performance. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a four-liter six-cylinder engine developing 500 hp and 338 lb.-ft. of torque, combined with a specially developed PDK transmission.

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
