 Mileage unknown, reads 58,000. Good running condition with freshly rebuilt 2 liter engine(new pistons/cylinders, main and rod bearings, cam, lifters, gaskets, valve guides, etc) Fuel system upgraded to Megasquirt with modern 43psi side feed injectors, Bosch 911 fuel pump and filter setup, moved to front under the gas tank, with steel high pressure line installed, but using the stock plastic low pressure return line, all tuned with Innovate's datalogging/tuning software.

15x8 rims look pretty good, but have blemishes from age. Entire body cleaned/repaired/painted. Re-lubed CV joints. New clutch, speedo, and throttle cables. No work was done on any of the running gear with the exception of the cv joints.

Has minimal interior. Windshield has crack behind mirror, but is on the inside of the glass, and has not grown for the past 8 years. There are many shops that can repair the crack if you so desire. Most of the undercarriage has been cleaned up and recoated.
Paint is new Eurocote urethane, but is race car grade. It was probably decided some time in the relatively distant past to change the car from it's original color of black, to white, due to the added fiberglass body kit. The doors have baby turbo mirrors.
Car was sitting in driveways for the past 20 or so years, with a chevy V6 and a Kennedy adapter kit sitting in parts in the front boot, but never installed. Previous owner/s eventually tossed the whole engine lot in a scrap pile somewhere.

I purchased a 914 engine and rebuilt it for this car.
The brakes are bone stock.
I spent approx. 1000 hours fixing this car up. Repaired rust areas at battery pit, and under seats.
Should be good to go for another 10 to 15 years.

I can provide and install at additional cost at end of auction, the below engines:
Subaru ej25 $2200 installed with megasquirt2 on stock 914 transmission, Horsepower improvement of about 90hp and similar weight.
Subaru eg33 $2800 installed with megasquirt2, but necessitates the use of a boxster transmission and clutch, axels, and shift cable mechanisms, so additional cost for that. This can add up to about 160hp above the stock type 4 engine.
Can also install boxster engine and trans set if you like, must negotiate price with salvage yard.
Also available:
Original 72 911S engine installed for $18,000, bolts direct to original 914 trans.
The above engine offerings do not include the engine that is in the car now. iow, I keep it.

These cars were designed for boxer engines. Don't ask if I will install your "V" type engine. The only exceptions I will make for other engine installs, are the Mazda Wankel engines, up to the 3 rotors, or a Lycoming type aircraft 4 cylinder boxer engine.


I, the seller, am perfectly capable of preforming any upgrade you might want to this, or just about any engine or car. There are regularly some really nice tube frame race cars shown here on ebay. The work done on any of those other cars is well within my skill range.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters

Thu, 29 May 2014

Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
