1970 Porsche 914 Chevy V8 305 Conversion. Comes With 2056 Big Bore 914 Engine on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
This is a 1970 914 that I have owned for the better part of 13 years or so. I purchased the car from Georgia and it is VERY rust free. When I bought it, I was told there was zero rust. After an extensive search, I found a small hole in the driver floor pan and that is all. I purchased the car with the v8 conversion already in it. It appears to be a PorChev conversion which I believe is what Simpson originally called the conversion. When I bought it, I was told it had a stuck lifter. which turned out not to be the case. I pulled the engine and found what was really wrong was a rocker arm had come unseated and was turned so it was not making contact with the pushrod. I didn't know at the time I was ordering parts, so I got a performance cam, and new lifters. Along with that, I added a Pete Jackson Gear drive to get rid of the timing chain. The car also has a Weber 4bbl carb, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers going to cherry bombs. There is a Kennedy 3800 lb clutch. I converted the car to side shift. As you will see in the video, the car runs and sounds strong, but I doubt seriously that it even has 2 hours of run time since I put the engine back in. You should expect to do some dialing in on the engine as it breaks in. I would also not try to drive this car home. If it stalls, the starter suffers from the dreaded 914 hot voltage drop and can not crank the engine. I have a relay kit for this but have not installed it. Also, I was never able to get all 4 barrels open. You will need to modify the throttle linkage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-0zeYh7Ktc&feature=youtu.be is a video of me starting the car on 7/28. The battery is totally dead so you will see jumper cables going to my Escape and the car is not washed or cleaned nor is it in the pics. I am selling this car because I am moving 3 hours away and have no more garage. You will see I am selling my other cars also if you check my items for sale. Along with the car, I will be including a 2056 914 engine that is complete except for the exhaust and air cleaners. Here is a link to my finding of this engine http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=233104 This engine I just bought a couple months ago for 2800 then paid for shipping. The engine is like brand new with just under 30 miles on it. if you want to convert the car back to a type 4 this is the way to go. If not, sell the engine. I have numerous people asking to buy the engine and I do not have time to unpackage this. I have to be out of my house by 8/15/14. Here is a link to all the info you could ever want on this engine. Keep in mind it is the engine, carbs Weber 40 idf's, and accessories. There is no trans or exhaust in the crate with the 2056. Here is an email from the man(Euro911) I bought the motor from - The car is in good shape, there is a star in the windshield. The interior is complete and is about a 7.5 to an 8. The flares are fiberglass and the 5 lug conversion is adapters. There are gt bumpers front and back. Stainless brake hoses. An extra targa top is in the trunk and there is all the stainless trim for the sail panels. Any parts that I have extra will be included. The extra engine is in a crate. I can take a picture of the crate if you want, but I don't see how that will help. This is quite a package but it is as is and there is no reserve, the car has to go and it kills me to do it. Calling me at 410 215 9577 is better than email as I will be very busy. I don't have time for non paying bidders on this one so please be legit. |

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
Next-generation Panamera will spawn variants, Sport Turismo in the running
Mon, Dec 1 2014A few years ago it took actual willpower not to consider what kinds of cool derivatives Porsche could make with the Panamera. Our fancies were helped by patent drawings of a Panamera convertible, rumors of a two-door 928 GT and internal Porsche sketches of such a car, and report after report after report that the current, second-generation Panamera would begin to expand the family. That hasn't happened, but according to a new report in Auto Express, the next Panamera will be the one to begin the bifurcation. Wolfgang Hatz, the brand's head of research and development, told the mag that, "We have prepared it for a lot of derivatives, personally I like very much the Sport Turismo." The Panamera Sport Turismo, remember, was the hybrid, concept wagon that rolled into the 2012 Paris Motor Show and made everyone ask, "Why didn't you build this design from the beginning?" It could have been Hatz's English, but after professing his ardor for the Sport Turismo, the executive said, "But there is a good chance for more derivatives." We're not sure if that means the Sport Turismo is all but approved, or if he was speaking of the third generation Panamera's new MSB platform in general. Even though Hatz mentioned a coupe and convertible, it sounds like that latter variant won't be happening, Hatz saying that the brand already has the Boxster and 911 Cabriolet. We're willing to forgive that omission – who's really looking for a four-door convertible, anyway? – and welcome the Sport Turismo first if Hatz will please please please get us a new 928.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
