You won't find a more fun car to drive than this one. It is a 1972 Porsche 914-6 Conversion with a 3.0L Porsche 911 SC engine with electronic fuel injection based on the original Bosch CIS fuel system. A rebuilt set of Weber carburetors is also available but not included in this sale. The car was restored in the 1990s and converted to a 6-cylinder engine about 7 years ago. The complete engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and the top end rebuilt approximately 5000 miles ago while replacing the case bolts. It has 911 struts and brakes in front, while the rear brakes use 914-6 rotors and hubs. I replaced the master cylinder with a larger 19-mm 911 unit for the 911 front calipers and rebuilt the pedal cluster. The car has many new parts. The wheels shown are stock 5-bolt chromed steel 356C/911/914-6 wheels, but I can replace these with Porsche cookie-cutter wheels if desired. Either a stock 914 steering wheel or a 13 5/8-inch Momo wheel is available. The transmission is a side-shifting 914 unit. The dashboard instruments are 911 oil pressure/temperature gauge and tachometer, and a 150mph 914 gauge (true miles unknown). A VDO fuel gauge is mounted separately.

There is virtually no rust on the car. There is a pinhead-size paint bubble near the driver's corner of the leading edge of the front trunk lid (visible as a speck in a blow-up of the picture of the front) and some near one corner of the rear trunk lid. I have also found a dime-sized hole in a panel under the left rear corner missed during the original restoration. This was pointed out to me by the owner who restored the car, and you can see it only if you are under the car. It causes no harm. The hell-hole under the battery was either rust-free at restoration or restored before I bought the car. The fuel pump has been relocated to the front. The floors, jack points and structural members are all solid. The passenger seat has one seam in the seat that is splitting but otherwise the interior is in excellent shape. The car has been kept in covered storage since its restoration, not driven in the winter, and only seldom in the rain. The paint is a metallic medium blue very close to the original color and, aside from a few minor blemishes, is in excellent condition.

I bought this car eight years ago and did the 911 engine conversion work a year later using a kit and following an article in Excellence magazine with help of an experienced multi-914 owner. I took the 3.0L engine from my early 911 when I upgraded that car to a larger engine. I have owned air-cooled Porsches off and on for 50 years, but it is time to let some things go.

Call me at 360.734.8782 with questions. I will send other photos on request. A $1000 down-payment is required within 48 hours of the end of the sale with the balance due in seven days. The down-payment may be made through Pay-Pal, but if the buyer wishes to use PayPal for the balance, the buyer is responsible for PayPal charges. The car will be sold “as-is” with no warranties. The buyer is responsible to complete all inspections prior to the end of the auction. The buyer is responsible for shipping (with my help on my end), but the car will not be shipped until paid for in full. The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.

Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.

Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC

Sun, 19 Jan 2014

In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
