This is a 1974 Porsche with a 1.7 engine.

The engine has recently been re-built, mildly warmed over breathing through dual Dell's. It runs and shifts quite smoothly
The engine has ~9,100 miles since the rebuild; enough to know it was done properly but not nearly enough to be ready for another rebuild. Unlike most folks on CL, I can truly say those are mostly highway miles. In the past year I have driven this car up Pikes Peak, down to Oklahoma, to Ohio, then out to Washington; with a few other trips in between. The 914 has been perfectly reliable through all of this. If you're looking for a reliable car that you can hop in tomorrow and go to Florida, this is it.

Included with the car is a logbook with every fill-up, oil change, maintenance item, etc.. Since the first start-up of the rebuilt engine.
This is an Oklahoma car, no rust. The paint is presentable, but it's not a show car either.

As would be expected to make a car this old extremely reliable, it's had a lot of new parts put on it. Essentially every important piece of rubber has been replaced.
All parts installed in 9100 miles, most of them in the past year.
Some of the ones I remember:
-New tires, still look really nice.
-New BMW 320i front calipers
-Rebuilt Rear calipers
-New Tranny input seal
-New 1st gear syncro
-New rear wheel bearings
-New Clutch disc
And many more things I can't think of right now.

Needs:
Flashing light that comes on with parking brake no longer works.
Wipers don't work.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus

Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle

Thu, 01 May 2014

David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
