This is a rare opportunity to own a unique Porsche 914 conversion. This is a solid 1974 Porsche 914 with rotary conversion. Car sounds and runs great. Car has 200hp and weighs only 2000lbs giving this car weight-to-power  ratio of 10:1! The wankel rotary 13B Street Ported engine was professionally rebuilt, installed, and tuned. Over $11k spent on this conversion. The whole car was completely strippped, rust prepped and repainted. This car was meant to be street driven as well as on the track. Very fast and powerful. Very agile as well with tight steering. KYB Shocks with 200lb springs in rear. The rotary sound coming out of the porsche muffler sounds amazing. Car feels very tight on the road as well.


This is the short list of things done to the car: 
The power comes from a Mazda rotary 13B engine that was built up by Atkins Rotary Specialists in Puyallup, WA. The engine has a street port intake and stock exhaust port. The engine produces exactly 200 hp with a Weber SP 50 side-draft carb and Racingbeat intake manifold & custom exhaust header that runs into a SS 930 muffler. The car was completely gutted and what little signs of surface rust have been sandblasted, acid treated and sealed with Metal-Loc primer. This was a Southern Nevada car so it was not rusty, and even the battery tray area was still intact. The drivers compartment and engine bay/rear suspension has been reinforced with 1.5" x .120" roll bar tubing. Then the interior/ engine bay / trunk were sprayed with epoxy bed liner. The exterior was sprayed with SEM Hot-Rod Black and Centari Spitfire Orange both in a matte finish. The bottom pan, front compartment and wheel wells are in original condition, except for the addition of a massive Afco aluminum radiator in the nose.

This is a very clean car. The interior was re-upholstered to near original. All the mechanical bushings, guides, cables, and brake components have been replaced. The transmission has been torn down and gone through, all syncros and gears are in good shape. Essentially everything to operate the car has been replaced or rebuilt with new parts.


Recent Tune-up including new spark plugs, new fuel pump, fuel regulator, fuel pressure gauge, carburetor fully rebuilt and cleaned and jetted. All new bushings in the entire shifter linkage system. Car shifts great in all gears. Steering is very tight and nice.


Car is not perfect it needs some minor things such as: Turn signals are not working although the flasher button works, possibly the switch went bad on steering column. The windshield wipers sometimes work, steering column switch probably the culprit.The horn does not work. The windshield has a couple of chips in glass. The paint is not perfect, and there are two spots that the paint flaked off (see pics). I have new weather seals for the targa top, ready to be installed.  

Title on hand. Anyone is welcomed to come see the car in person and inspect.


Terms:

A $250 deposit is due within 24 hours. Car must be fully paid by CASH or Wire only and picked up within 7 days. Serious Buyers Only Please. Car is sold as-is.

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.

Porsche returns to Forza with Horizon 2 expansion [w/video]

Mon, Jun 8 2015

The bar for driving and racing game excellence has been raised to remarkable levels in recent years, and with titles making use of Xbox One and Playstation 4 hardware. But, if you're a fan of major franchises like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo, the most obvious-for-its-omission car brand has always been Porsche. Happily, that prohibition ends tomorrow, with an epic piece of DLC for Forza Horizon 2. That's right, Forza confirmed to Autoblog (after a series of rumors) that the $9.99 Porsche Expansion hits tomorrow. In fact, we even have an exclusive first look the full car list: 1970 Porsche 914/6 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 1987 Porsche 959 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo 2003 Porsche Carrera GT 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997) 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo Ten of Stuttgart's finest include historically significant monsters like the 959 and Carrera GT, as well as newcomers Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. Along with the cars, the expansion pack brings 10 Bucket List events, 10 Rivals events, and 15 achievements in total (for you Forza completionists). We've already put in for a sick day. Porsche has been far more reticent than most OEMs to license its cars for video games, to date, and even this expansion required a deal with Electronic Arts to bring to pass. And, while our sources at Turn 10 Studios say that this Porsche pack will be the only such content for FH2, we can expect that the upcoming Forza Motorsport 6 will be packed with 911s, et al. We couldn't get the studio to discuss specifics about future models (your author is hankering hard for some 356 action), but reps did say that they'll aim for balance, "never losing sight of the type of varied interests and experiences that our players love." Scroll down to read the full press release, or have a browse through our gallery of images and video. We'll see you on the road. Forza Horizon 2 Porsche Expansion Porsche is coming to Forza Horizon 2! Arriving on June 9 exclusively in Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox One, the Forza Horizon 2 Porsche Expansion will bring ten amazing Porsche models for the first time to an Xbox One Forza game. With Porsche models like the 1989 944 Turbo, the 2003 Carrera GT, and the 2014 911 GT3 RS 4.0, the Porsche Expansion Pack will give fans the chance to explore southern Europe in some of the legendary German manufacturer's most beloved cars.
