1970 Porsche 914/6 Original 6 Cyl Model One Of 3333 Made! 9140430933 on 2040-cars
Little Falls, New Jersey, United States
|
Original six, VIN 9140430933 with certificate of authenticity. Number 933 out of 3333 6 cylinder models made. Prefix on the title is 3. I know the 2 prior owners and have a pretty good idea what's been done to the car before i got the car. Car was repainted black in early nineties. At that time the rear fenders were cut, metal added and rewelded for a nice soft flare look while retaining the original lip. Original color was # 15, Irish (Forest) green. At the same time the engine was swapped to a 2.4 (as per # on engine case). Engine runs strong! Started right up this morning!
The good: Car runs like a raped ape! When I first got the car in 2005, i dropped the engine and transaxle to replace clutch and flywheel, adjust valves and redo carbs. I have pictures of the engine/transaxle removal. In addition, I have a receipt for over $10,000 of work from 2007. The minor rust issues were taken care of professionally by Powertech, a reputable Porsche Repair shop in North Jersey. Rust repairs included the driver side wheel well, right side rear frame area in engine compartment (under original battery pan area), and partial floor pan replaced. Link to chassis pictures below. It looks as good or better underneath then on top! At the same time I had the engine resealed, new style (bronze?) cam tensioner bushings installed, and leakdown tested (test results will be provided with car, results are; one cylinder had 3% leakage and the rest were 1 or 2 % leakage.) New carpet and driver side seat cover was installed at that time. Carrera front end with new Porterfield pads and new rotors in the summer of 2008. New stainless brake lines, new hard lines as well. Car has fresh as of 2008 Koni yellows in the rear with 165 progressive springs. Also a Rennshift shifter, original transaxle converted to sideshift, bronze bushing in shifter console and shifts pretty decent for 1970 technology. I have original shifter and knob with the throttle linkage that goes with the package. Comes with 2 sets of fake fuchs, 15x7 and 15x8, one set has low mileage kumho asx tires while the other set has Hoosier A6's from 2008 with 0 runs on them. Battery mounted in front trunk, front mount oil cooler with stainless lines from engine, tilton brake bias valve, Electromotive crankfire ignition, K&N airfilters, battery cutoff, bolt in roll cage with camera mount (Note some pieces of roll bar are not mounted now, namely the two door bars and the top front bar), OMP seats mounted on original sliders (pass side too), 4 pt. harnesses, Sony Cd/mp3 player with powered subwoofer mounted behind passenger seat, weltmeister front bar, weltmeister rear bar (not installed), extra street pads, new hp plus front pads, uninstalled aluminum upper rear shock mounts (Brad's), front tow bar mount and tow bar are included. Wipers work, headlights work, brake lights work, reverse lights work, interior lights work. Included are the original shifter including the hand throttle plus extra head light motors, accelerator cable mount, rear caliper parts, steering parts, clutch cable, and so on. Please see the pictures. Also included with the sale is a folder and note book of pertinent info such as engine #, Strut #. air gap for ignition, copy of prior title, etc. etc. The bad, Non original tach, combo gauge, and gas gauge. No heat due to headers. Defroster does not work (note, light comes on but no fan). Shifting too fast from first to second will cause a slight grinding noise. Could be a linkage adjustment. Under normal shifting, no grinding when shifting any gears. Small superficial rust spots can be seen on the bottom side of trunk pan. See the chassis picture link below. Paint is not that great. Shines nice when waxed but still see some scratches and small indentations. There is some hazing in the paint on both doors from when I left the magnetic numbers on after being in 95 degree heat at an autocross, then getting caught in a rainstorm afterward and leaving the numbers on the car for a week. Hood and trunk (Mostly trunk) have some indentations agout the size of a dime. There are a few little spots just below drivers side sail panel where the paint is bubbling that may be rust. On the front passenger fender, there is a small spot where the paint peeled off. The rest of the car has some minor scratches as well, but overall, the car shows pretty good when detailed . Not too bad looking for a 24 year old paint job on a 44 year old car. Also, the headliner (yes it's still there!) has an indentation from the roll bar going from left to right, the targa top has two small dings on the rear (see picture), the front left parking light is cracked and there are light scratches on the front left fender and the rear right side of the trunk lid. The scratches buff out with a machine and a filler type wax. i looked over this car to the best of my ability however, there may be other really light scratches and imperfections on the car that i did not notice. Please remember this is not a minty cream puff but a good looking, extremely solid example of a rare classic from 1970.

Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?
Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
