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. |

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
