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. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Porsche 911: Big in Taiwan
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Porsche is continuing celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of its iconic 911. In its latest video, it's gone to Taiwan, to interview some of the folks that have grown passionate about the rear-engined sportscar over the years.
By and large, the views expressed in this video could have come from anywhere in the world. The 911 is a great car and that doesn't change from country to country. These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.
Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
