1973 PORSCHE 914 1.7

Up for sale is my 1973 Porsche 914. I bought the car in 2010 but it has been garaged at my folks’ place for most of that time. It was last started & driven last summer. As I recall, the car was smoking a bit, and as with any car this old, there are leaks. In any case, I need to free up the garage space so the car needs to go.

There is surface rust in the front and rear trunks, but it stops there … it is not rusted through. Battery tray area has the usual rust on the tray itself, but the wall structure around it looks pretty solid. The longitudinals (under the plastic PORSCHE side skirts) appear to be solid, and it looked OK when we had it on a lift couple years ago.

Fuel is delivered via twin Weber 40 IDF carbs and I had a new fuel pump put in.

The interior is in nice shape and the dash is not cracked. The driver seat mount though is broken and will need to be re-welded back into (I’m 5’8” and I’ve driven it fine as is however). The passenger and driver floor are solid. The radio is gone but all wiring is in place.

That is just the basics I have at the moment, but feel free to drop me a line if you can think of anything that I'm leaving out--I'd be happy to give you my phone # at that time so we can talk the car over in more detail. I'm really hoping this turns out to be a great project for someone this winter and spring and ready for the summer.

I have clear title in hand, along with OEM owner’s manual. Thank you.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!

Porsche sees error of ways, next 911 GT3 to offer manual transmission

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Consider this Porsche's mea culpa. After creating an uproar over selling a new 911 GT3 without a manual transmission, the automaker introduced the limited-edition, manual-equipped 911 R in Geneva. That car is just a stopgap, though. It's meant to hold 911 drivers over until the next GT3 arrives with the same six-speed manual transmission. Yes, the next-gen GT3 will get an old-fashioned six-speed manual, according to a new report from Autocar (but the GT3 RS will still be PDK-only). In fact, the same report claims Porsche will make sure that the 911 GT3 remains the car for the brand's most ardent purists. While the rest of the Porsche range moves to turbocharged engines, the GT3 will stick to its naturally aspirated guns. That comes direct from the big boss behind the GT3, Andreas Preuninger, who told the magazine this would be the case "for the foreseeable future." According to Preuninger, the only member of Porsche's GT line that will go turbocharged is the one that's been that way all along – the GT2 and GT2 RS, which we'll see next year. And yes, Preuninger's statement about limited turbocharging applies to the Cayman GT4, too, even though the model that high-performer is based on has moved to a line of turbocharged engines. When the next GT4 arrives, it'll be with a flat-six in the middle. Related Video:
