This is a FUN car to drive!!! . I purchased this car 2 years ago from a friend in the local Porsche Club. He was living in Southern California and found this rust free 914 in the 1990s. His neighbor owned the original Renegade Hybrids Company so the car was converted to a chevrolet small block V8 in the 1996-97 time frame using a proven Renegade kit. The goals of the project were to have a reliable car, good performance, and no overheating problems.
The 914 body is all original. It is very solid. The car was repainted and looks very good. The targa top is painted black. The Interior is in very good condition. The original seats are in good shape. There are a few cracks in the dash board. It has an aftermarket sport steering wheel.
Drivetrain - The Porsche 901 gearbox works great. Starting out in 2nd gear is recommended to avoid "over torquing" 1st gear. These 901 transmissions are reliable up to 325 hp if not abused. A KEP - Kennedy Engineering Products Clutch and Pressure plate adapt the transmission to the engine. The Chevrolet engine was built specifically for the 914. Using a 305 block to reduce torque (and therefore save the transmission) , the engine uses a higher duration cam, and ported stock heads to achieve around 280-300 horsepower. This is a great combination for low maintenance and performance. It really moves!!!
The car is nice, fun to drive, starts, stops and puts a smile on your face.

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.
NHTSA closes probe into 2011 Porsche 911 coolant leaks
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it will end its investigation into rapid coolant loss in 24,635 Porsche 911s built between 2001 and 2011. The models affected included the standard 911, GT2, GT3 and Turbo, as well as their variants (GT2 RS, GT3 RS and Turbo S).
NHTSA was investigating for "rapid coolant loss caused by coolant pipe-fitting failure, allegedly resulting in vehicle disablement and/or loss of vehicle control due to reduced traction for the affected vehicle or following traffic," according to the regulators website. "Most of the leak complaints did not appear to involve complete separation of the fittings and many were detected when the vehicle was parked," said NHTSA's statement.
There were 63 complaints and 336 warranty claims, although the investigation was initiated after ten complaints from customers. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries attributed to rapid coolant loss.
Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
