CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS OF THE CAR
Just pulled this car out of a Garage. Vin #4722908728 It had been there since the early 90's. For an east coast guy this car is a rust free as they come. The '72 is an original California car. It was converted in the late eighties with all the period goodies. The car was converted to 5 lugs with BMW front calipers. Turbo tie rods, new ball joints and new torsion bars. Koni's all round. The GT flares front and rear are fiberglass. It has a front fiberglass bumper with rear fiberglass 916 style belly pan. The rocker covers are flared fiberglass. The car was painted with a metalic blue gray paint over an original #60E green car. The longs, floors, and hell hole are as solid as I have ever seen. The rear trunk section above the muffler was replaced with replacement sheet metal. The front trunk is intact and original. The car appears to have no accident damage. The paint is in the 20 footer category. The underlying bodywork was poorly done as were the fiberglass flares. The passenger rear flare is cracking. The paint has several blemishes in it. The previous owner was a BMW fan. He did the front brake conversion with BMW calipers The interior is really nice aside from a cracked dash and some tired carpeting the cockpit is really presentable. The door panels are very nice. The car needs some weatherstripping in the doors and windows. The gas tank was removed , cleaned, sealed, and painted. The fuel pump was relocated to the front. There are braided fuel lines running through the tunnel to the engine compartment where a fuel regulator controls the flow. The wheels are cookie cutters 15 inch. The tires are pretty bald and need to be replaced. The engine lid is currently removed but will be sold with the car. I also have an engine and transmission from a 73 that is available separately. The engine is a 1.7 with D-Jet fuel injection. It was rebuilt by the previous owner. it is complete with a clutch. Also available is a 901 side shift transmission. Please contact me for cost of the drivetrain. So what you have is a nice rust free California 914 roller which has 5 lugs, BMW calipers, GT Flares, BMW seats. Car is sold as a roller with Bill of Sale ONLY NO TITLE Contact me for any questions. On Jan-04-14 at 20:53:36 PST, seller added the following information: This is an easy project for someone if you can turn a wrench. You could have this car running in a weekend. This car only needs a motor and trans bolted in to get it back on the road. Everything else is there: 5 lug conversion, suspension, brakes, wiring, lights, nice interior, fuel system, battery. You can have yourself a nice flared gt car for a fraction of the cost it would take to build one yourself. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche 911 hybrid possible, Ecocruise EVs coming soon
Thu, Oct 9 2014The next-generation Porsche 911 could use hybrid power, according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller. "There is no reason against it and we will see if we have some reasons to do it," Muller says of the model due around 2018. He also suggests that hybrid technology could eventually make its way into all Porsche model lines, but that the Boxster and Cayman would first get four-cylinder versions. Muller cites carbon emissions and "sportiness" as reasons to use hybrid power, pointing to the 918 Spyder as a good example of both. Read more at Car Advice. A B-Class F-Cell from the Mercedes-Benz fleet has hit a benchmark of 300,000 kilometers (about 186,411 miles) in everyday use. The achievement won Daimler an "f-cell award" for hydrogen fuel cell technology and innovation. The 300+ fuel cell cars in the Daimler fleet have driven a collective 9 million-plus kilometers (more than 5.5 million miles). The information gathered from this testing is being used to improve development as the company looks toward expanding commercialization of fuel cell cars. "We have clearly demonstrated that the fuel cell electric drive is ready for the road," says Professor Herbert Kohler of Daimler. "The last hurdles we will overcome in intensive cross-industry and cross-border teamwork." Read more in the press release below. A company called Ecocruise has new EVs coming out soon. Along with electric scooters and service vehicles, Ecocruise develops street-legal neighborhood electric vehicles like the three-wheeled EZip-3, the four-wheeled EZip-4, and the fun looking Cruser Sport (see a prototype in the video below). The EVs are scheduled to go on sale in January of 2015, which is right around the corner. Ecocruise was started after the founder of Kasea Motorsports decided to switch to electric vehicles with the goal of offering providing affordable emissions-free driving. Learn more about Ecocruise and its vehicles at the company's website. The new EU Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) does little to discourage dirty fuels like tar sands and coal-to-liquid, says Transport & Environment (T&E). The FQD requires suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas intensity for transport fuel in the EU by six percent by 2020. The much-delayed FQD doesn't do as much as it could, though, say critics, and it doesn't label dirtier fuel sources as such despite the urging of scientists. T&E, an organization focused on cleaning up EU transport, blames Canada, the US and Big Oil.
Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
