The goal was to create a tribute of the 1970 porsche 914-6 GT competition car #2 campaigned by Miles Collier that finished 1.2.3 at the Nurburing endurance race.
The car is spot on down to the paint scheme and authentic decals. This car is a real head tuner.

The signal orange PPG paint is flawless. It ought to be it cost over$10,000.00. Yes , $10,000 the paint materials alone were $2000 not to mention the hours and hours of body work necessary to create this gorgeous car. 

The 16x7  RSR frosted style Original Fuchs Wheels up front with new 225/50/16 Dunlops and the 16x8 classic eight 'Minilite' replicas wheels in the rear with new 255/50/16 BF Goodrich tires really give the car that classic Le Mans racer look. 

The front suspension was taken from a 1973 911 (control arms, spindles, steering rack, boge struts,911 'A' calipers ,and 911 5 lug hubs. The rear suspension has upgraded Koni shocks with 930 CV's and 911 half shafts, and converted 5 lug hubs with wheel studs. The car has the right stance with the combination of Fuchs and Minilites.

The body work is flawless. A lot of hours went into the preparation for the fiberglass and paint work. You won't be disappointed.
The fiberglass GT flares have been grafted on to the car with an attention to detail The front fiberglass bumper and valance resemble the #2 nurburgring car with its teutonic paint scheme..
 The rear fiberglass bumper and stock valence round out the no nonsense look from behind. The flares are finished off with flared fiberglass rocker panel covers to finish out the gt look.

Inside the car is all business.  Once seated you grip the period correct  early 911 leather bound steering wheel and grip the walnut shift knob of the original dog legged 901 side shift
transmission. The black and blue coco matts and stock black 914 buckets round off the stark interior which is painted body color. To create that authentic competition
look a replica bolt-in GT roll cage has been installed.

The drive train is the reliable stock 914-4 engine and transmision. The car has a 1.7L 4 cylinder with original D-Jet fuel injection. The car starts up every time.
The transmission was converted from tail shift to the upgraded side shift model 901. The shifter is dialed in and shifts as well as can be. The brakes are rebuilt porsche 911 A-calipers up front with new vented rotors. The rear calipers are stock 914 rears with integrated parking brake. The rear rotors are brand new 914-6 Sebro 5 lug solid calipers. The car has stock stainless heat exchangers with stock muffler. 

The 914 is notorious for rust and this one was an original east coast car. The previous owner completed the rust repair which consisted of replacing the rear floors and 
outer longintudinals (rockers). the passenger side hell hole member was repaired at this time as well. The previous owner relocated the battery to the trunk because of the hell hole rust. I have the 
parts necessary to relocate the battery to the stock location including battery bracket and engine shelf and console parts from restoration design which are needed to return the car to stock. This will be sold with the car as I wasn't able to install the pieces prior to the sale. The car also comes with a weatherstripping kit which I haven't installed.

The car drives really well. The 1.7 starts right up and is suprisingly peppy. Once you hit the twisties you'll understand why the 914 is considered the 'curve meister'
The car can be converted back to a more stock appearence by removing the decals and removing the bolt in roll cage. It can also be upgraded to a vintage racer or DE 
for under 2 liter historic racer class by adding a fuel cell and harness.

Another car has caught my attention hence the sale.  I am offering this car for sale at 'no reserve' Don't let this one get away.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.

Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.
