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. 

 I will make myself available for the buyers choice of a car pick up service after the payment is cleared with my bank.  Here is a link to many pictures on flickr.

I may just take your offer as long as it's not ridiculously low! Please have the funds ready before you make your offer!!  If you have any comments about my pricing other than an offer,  please use one of the 914 forums to discuss that. Here is not the place for that. Upon offer acceptance, I require a deposit of $500.00 via paypal with balance due within  seven (7) days by bank check, wire transfer, or cash.  Car will be released AFTER, and only after the funds clear in my bank. Thank you for looking.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers

Fri, Mar 11 2016

Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
