 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.

Audi spearheads development of an ultra-luxurious EV code-named Landjet

Tue, Nov 17 2020

The rumors claiming Audi wants to release a model positioned above the A8, and the reports of an ongoing electric car development program called Artemis internally, have seemingly converged. Citing sources inside the carmaker, a German media outlet reported the firm is busily creating a super-luxurious EV code-named Landjet. Audi is leading the development process, but sister companies Bentley and Porsche will reportedly receive their own version of the Landjet. All three models will likely take the form of three-row SUVs with generous dimensions. They'll be so big that none of Audi's production facilities will be able to manufacture them, according to an anonymous insider who spoke with German newspaper Handelsblatt. Luckily, Volkswagen makes vans, too. It's too early to tell what will power the Landjets. Audi assigned some of its most brilliant engineers to Project Artemis, and the technology they develop will permeate the three EVs before trickling down into cheaper models in the group. Expect high performance, a high driving range, and semi-automated driving technology. If the report is accurate, the Landjet vehicles will enter production in Hanover, Germany, by the end of 2024. The facility currently makes the Volkswagen Transporter, which is a direct descendant of the rear-engined Bus sold for decades, and it will start manufacturing the production version of the ID.Buzz concept in the coming years. Volkswagen hasn't commented on the report, and car companies rarely address speculation, but its Commercial Vehicles division released a statement in November 2020 that confirms the Hanover site will begin building SUVs about halfway through the 2020s. It's a major shift for a factory normally tasked with manufacturing vans. "Our main plant in Hanover is becoming the production site for three completely new premium electric vehicles in the Group. These D-SUVs are genuine flagship projects: premium, 100% electric, and highly automated," said Carsten Intra, the head of Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles division, in a statement. He added the firm will invest about 680 million euros (about $807 million) to build a new assembly line, among other upgrades.

Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.

Some kind of Porsche 911 spied in Germany

Wed, May 20 2015

Seeing a Porsche undergoing testing in Germany – even at the Nurburgring – is hardly a rare sight. But this one has us scratching our heads. Though almost entirely devoid of any sort of camouflage, this particular 911 clearly has something going on. It's got LED daytime running lights (similar in appearance to those on the Cayman GT4) integrated into the front end, extra air vents around back, and a pair of exhaust tips poking out the middle of the rear bumper. In the end, we could be looking at the upcoming facelift scheduled for the 911 that will see it shift to forced induction across the entire range (save for the GT3 and GT3 RS) – or this could be another version of the existing model. Porsche has been known to churn out a steady stream of those, after all. One way or another, though, it looks like we'll be finding out sooner than later – judging from how ready this particular Elfen looks to hit the show stand and showroom.
