 This is the 790th 914 to roll off the line in 1969! Original paint coat: BLACK! This car has lots of history and is one of the first thousand off the line...unfortunately, it has some rust to tell the story. This car looks great from 15 feet away, but has had some shoddy over-sprays and repairs to the paint job. Apart from the body rust that has been patched, there is a rotten section of the longitudinal that makes the car structurally somewhat questionable. Eventually it will need a new long, and most likely rear wheel well as the metal is rusted through badly. The car will sometimes make a creaking noise when changing camber (driveway)...unpleasant...Despite this, the car seems to handle and drive very well and is super peppy. It will burn its wheels with almost no effort...Essentially, the engine in this is GREAT! Interior is in amazing condition, and everything pretty much works all around.

 I have had it evaluated by a body shop and they told me it is drivable, but to keep an eye on the door gap.

This engine is an EC Case Rebuild to 2056cc by Mark Stephens (non-matching #'s), and is quick with the 44's. Has ~6k miles on it (post rebuild) according to the PO. I have put on <1k miles. Happy to answer any questions.

I am selling the car because I will be traveling later this year and cannot rationalize the storage costs.

The Good:

Rebuilt 2056cc Motor by Mark Stephens in Denver 96mm Heads, Weber Racing Cam and Weber 44IDF Carbs...911 Valve screws (From PO)

....that have been blasted, rebuilt, re-gasketed and jetted and tuned to altitude (by Carquip).

Upgraded later model side-shift 5-speed transmission!

Upgraded Adjustable Passenger Seat!

Custom Upgraded Gauge Cluster with Oil Pressure/Temp/Fuel and 911 Speedometer!

Newly Reupholstered Seats and a very clean original black basket-weave interior!

Awesome custom sound-system with subwoofer built into console!

Original "Gas Burner" Mahle Rims (Most Lightweight 914 Rims ever).

Euro Head and Tail Lights!

Original Great condition Chrome Bumpers with original Hella Fog Lights!

New Carpet Set!

 

 

The Bad:

Paint is failing all over the car. DAPO repeatedly patched up spots on the car with bondo and sprayed over...paint was matched to Irish Green. It is a quck paint and its not great...

Pass side longitudinal and jackpoint has BAD RUST, and hell holes are rusted a bit as well.

Synchro's in 1st and second may need some attention

The Deal: This a very cool example of an early 914 with a very fast engine....it has been used as a daily driver and has a strong motor but could use some TLC in terms of body work and rust. 

 Car also comes with a 914 car bra, a dust cover, Haynes manual and some random odds and ends.

Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans

Tue, Jun 17 2014

Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) – likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
