This original 1971 914 was the straightest, truest 914 I'd ever seen with Zero rust anywhere and a great platform for conversion. The concept of this project was to build a street legal race car that hailed back to the days you drove your Porsche to the track, removed the spare tire and any unnecessary weight, raced all weekend and drove home. So anything that didn't make it faster was left off. So there is no heat and the only vent is a hose from the grill at the base of the windshield inside, pointed at the driver. [I'll throw in a dash from a '76 914 on request] Every part of this car has been removed and upgraded with only the original fuse panel headlight motors unchanged. The shop that did the body work did an excellent job on the fit and finish of the fiberglass bonding everything inside and out. Their paintwork although 99% perfect has some flaws that showed up shortly after painting. I think from uncured resin out gassing. The flaws are small and may be corrected by color sanding. I know there are multiple coats of PPG single stage black applied. This car is lightweight, solid, scary fast with a great exhaust note and begs to be flogged. It has never made it to any track and after completion I lost interest. It deserves a new home. The odometer has 86114 miles but may not be original will display top speed of 150 mph. The tach needle recently started bouncing, so may need a new coaxial lead to the distributor sensor. There is a new VDO oil pressure gauge in the dash and the temp gauge above the fuel gauge is hooked up and working. The fuel gauge and reserve light are working and accurate. The reserve price represents just what I have spent out of pocket on the engine core, the rebuild, the PMO carburetor system, so the car, bodywork, paint job, interior redo and the 1000 hours sweating every detail is a bonus. The car comes with a custom fit cover, and an extra top. I purchased this car in 1995 pretty much stock 914 1.7.Started the conversion in 2001 and finished 2011. I accept Paypal,cashiers check,cash and winning bidder must pay $1000 Paypal deposit within 24 hours with the balance due in 10 days. Buyer is responsible for any transport or shipping from Kansas City but I will cooperate with carrier/transporter. |

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good
Thu, Jan 23 2014Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.
