1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
For Sale :
This 914-6 Needs a FULL restoration. 1970 914-6 Vin # 9140432255 Engine ser. # 6405500 (Unknown miles on engine/trans) Transmission model/ser. # 914/01 , 7502252 I'm pretty sure this is a number matching car. The color is black metallic but looks like a dark Gray (the paint is in rough shape). The car has a set of factory steel flares installed. I know most of this car's history (from mid 80's to current). The original engine/transmission was removed from the car in 1986/87. The org. engine/trans ran fine when it was removed but I would recommend a refresh on both. There is Weltmiester adjustable front & rear sway bars installed. The org. front suspension was replaced with a later 911 SC 3.5'' Boge struts with the aluminum S calipers, 911 SC front aluminum crossmember, and larger mm torsion bars in the factory A-arms. The p/o made his own front adjustable caster/camber plates but should be an easy retro to the factory parts. The shocks are adjustable Koni sports front and rear with 140 lb. springs. The rear bumper is installed but the front bumper/valance is still off the car. I can install the front bumper and valance prior to shipping. I know there's several parts missing from this car and will do my best to list them all. The missing parts can be found at various vendors/Porsche sites. Missing parts : (There maybe more then what's listed but this is what I know for sure) Rear calipers, engine relay board, oil tank/associated parts, carbs/intake manifolds/linkage, some interior trim pieces, speedo, tach, engine oil cooler, and all the rubber oil lines. Rust problems that I know of : Needs a full floor pan, right side lower firewall in engine bay, under battery tray area (aka the hell hole), right rear outer long, rear trunk pan, rear lid has rust spot, fenders in different spots, doors need to be repaired/replaced, and lower inner firewall on both sides. I inspected the inner rockers. The right side needs to be replaced and drivers side appears to be in good shape. The drivers side jack post looks like it will need to be replaced. There maybe more area's but this is what I can see. I installed the engine and transmission for the ease of shipping. I have the vehicle listed for sale on Pelican Parts and 914World sites. I also have the vehicle listed locally and could terminate this listing at anytime. If a buyer wants to have a PPI performed (at buyers expense) I will do my best to assist with it. I will do my best to answer any questions. I will take more pics of the car and other area's upon request. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with parts listed above. The buyer is to arrange and pay for shipping of the vehicle. The winning bidder is to contact me with there contact info within two days to make arrangements for payment. DO NOT BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS!!!! ask any questions you may have prior to bidding |

2014 Porsche Panamera Diesel is something to torque about
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Porsche has been in the business of slaying sacred cows for the better part of a decade, from venturing into the SUV space with the Cayenne to the four-door realm with its Panamera hatchback. And if those vehicles didn't leave brand purists apoplectic enough, Porsche has been adding diesel and hybrid power to its portfolio, thought to this point, neither alt-fuel motivator has made its way into the brand's sports car lineup.
Today's Frankfurt Motor Show effectively marks the second-generation of diesel power in the Panamera, and this updated 3.0-liter V6 features 300 horsepower (50 ponies more than last year) and a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque, available from 2,500 rpm. That power is achieved with a new higher-pressure, water-cooled turbo and redesigned engine internals that include a new crankshaft and pistons. The newfound increase is said to raise top speed to 161 miles per hour from 152, and drop the car's 0-62 mph time from 6.8 seconds down to 6.0. It also figures to be a better handler, with a new torque-vectoring rear differential borrowed from its gas-powered brethren and a reworked transmission for crisper shifts. The suspension has also been retuned, along with the updated 2014 visuals first revealed at April's Shanghai Motor Show.
No word yet on the North American sales prospects of this diesel Panamera, but we imagine that depends in part on how well the Cayenne diesel is selling.
Weekly Recap: Mercedes continues the pseudo-coupe craze with AMG-tuned CUV
Sat, Dec 13 2014But as BMW's X6 has demonstrated, sport sells in in the crossover segment, and Mercedes is giving the people what they want. BMW proved there is a market for crossover utility vehicles designed to look like coupes – as much as a vehicle with four doors and noticeable ground clearance can look like a coupe, anyway. Now comes the reply from Mercedes-Benz: the GLE Coupe. The rakish crossover is a harbinger of things to come from Mercedes, as it begins the company's transition to a new nomenclature and marks the debut of the AMG Sport line. It also continues the recent coupe craze. Designers from many automakers, like Nissan and Volkswagen, have increasingly turned to swoopy, dramatic styling to make utility vehicles and sedans seem more desirable. By revealing the GLE 450 AMG Sport model first, Mercedes is clearly hoping to cast the GLE Coupe as a sportier, lifestyle-oriented alternative in its lineup of beefy crossovers and SUVs. Mercedes used the word "sport," or a variation of it, 53 times in its press release, so uh yeah, it's sporty. It's not an empty promise: Benz means business with the AMG Sport line. This GLE Coupe gets a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 rated at 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque paired with Mercedes' new nine-speed automatic transmission, and it runs with 4Matic all-wheel drive. Specs on the other GLE Coupe models were not disclosed. But as BMW's X6 has demonstrated, sport sells in in the crossover segment, and Mercedes is giving the people what they want. After all, more than 260,000 people have bought X6s since 2008, and Mercedes wants a piece of that. From certain angles, the GLE Coupe even looks vaguely like an X6. "This is really a vehicle that is all about status," said Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for research firm AutoPacific. "You can buy a SUV that doesn't have the inherent qualities of a SUV, such as cargo hauling. People will likely be drawn to the looks. Coupes are all the rage." BMW, however, isn't running from the fight, and the updated 2015 X6 is arriving in showrooms this month. It also added a smaller sibling, the X4, to its coupe-crossover stable in July. The GLE Coupe arrives next year, though Mercedes hasn't specified exactly when it will hit showrooms from the factory in Alabama, or specified details on the rest of the non-AMG Sport models. In 2008, it was surprising the X6 was a hit. In 2015, it will be even more surprising if the GLE Coupe isn't.
VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
