This 914 is in excellent condition. It drives fantastic, tracks straight, does not shake or vibrate, and has really nothing wrong with it. I have gone through almost every system on the car making some improvements along the way. The car has no rust to speak of and there is no evidence that it ever had any rust repair performed. It also has never been in an accident as far as I know and from what I have gathered in owning and working on he car. I have cleaned and applied POR 15 on most of the belly pan and on the interior under the carpet as well as in the engine bay. The car has stainless steel brake lines, new Ferodo pads, a 911 master cylinder and new OEM rotors. The brakes are spot on with excellent stoping power and stops straight with no shimmy. The car has the original carpet that is in excellent condition and a set of Porsche carpet floor mats. All of the dash lights work. The heat and ventilation works as it should and has recent stainless heat exchangers. 

The dash has a few cracks but has a dash cover installed. The seats have a few small splits. The shift knob is a correct Porsche 915 knob that I recently found new in the box ($260).  The glass is all in excellent condition. It is very clear with no noticeable scratches or chips. All of the rubber was recently replaced with German top of the line rubber. I also treat the rubber with Gummi Phledge on a regular basis. The engine is a 1.7 block built to 2.0 specs by JCS. The motor has about eight thousand miles since rebuild. The exhaust is a correct 2.0 German set up. It has dual 44 carbs with correct emulsion and jets. I recently detailed the engine bay and installed a new fuel pump under the car. I mounted the pump on rubber stand offs to keep it from vibrating. I also routed the fuel line through secure guides and installed a serviceable glass filter. A few things to note on the motor are, new Nology wires, new Bosch blue coil, and new K&N washable air filters. I also installed an Optima Red Top battery and wired a kill switch from an early SWB 911. I also recently installed a new Sachs clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. The car has a NOS 009 Bosch distributor install and I have a Bosch single vacuum dual advance distributor for it to eliminate the minor dead spot just of idle. The car runs so well that I have had no incentive to install it. It also has pertronix electronic ignition. The side shift trans was rebuilt at he same time as the motor. The car shifts fantastic. I did install optimized Delrin bushings in most of the linkage. Also all new wheel bearings and other standard maintenance stuff has been done. 
The wheels are real Fuchs "2.0" alloys. The center caps are also the real alloy type not the steel replicas. All he chrome is excellent. The tires have about four thousand miles on them. The spare is also an OEM Fuchs wheel. 

In a nut shell this is one of the best sorted 914 models you will find. A friend of mine who is the owner of an east coast Porsche racing team drove the car and commented that it really was a remarkable example of a 914. I would confidently drive the car anywhere. 

If you have any questions or would like more pics please le me know. Feel free to call as well. (240)672-7983

I forgot some things. 

The window cranks are from a late 356.
I had been planning to take the Porsche crest off the rear bumper that the PO had applied. I did so this morning. I placed on the rear panel which you can see in the new photos I added. And yes it is crooked. I will be removing and re-applying it today. 
I added some pictures of the interior, the front and rear trunk, as well as the under side of the car. 
The car has Royal Purple fluids through out. The PO used Mobile One. 

I recently replaced the steering bushings and bearings. They were not bad. I did them to keep things tight. 
Also the pedal cluster bushings. 

The car has a three speed heater blower motor out of a 911 as well. The heat flex tubes are German NOS.

I have a good selection of usable spares that come with the car. 

I drove the car today and have to say that if I was not facing a serious family issue I would never sell this car. 




On Jan-14-13 at 13:42:44 PST, seller added the following information:

.........I have three keys for the car. One black OEM, one Red OEM valet, and one metal blank cut from dealer.

I do have a folder of records and receipts including info on the rebuilt engine and trans. 


On Jan-15-13 at 16:57:23 PST, seller added the following information:

More ....a fellow ebay member asked about the year. I don't know why I put  1972 it's a 1973 (thanks David).

When I got my folder out to check the title I started looking through my reciepts and thought I should list some more stuff that's been done. 

2011 steering rack done with an OEM rack part number 9115211275
2011 all tie rods replaced with German replacements. 
Bosch alternator replace when engine was rebuilt.
All the lights have new German rubber seals/gaskets
Top seals done with German rubber replacements
Engine mounts done at rebuild




On Jan-19-13 at 10:51:45 PST, seller added the following information:

The headliner is perfect.

The wheels do not have any curb rash or damage. On a few of the lug bolts however there are a few spots where the chrome is chipped off. 
All of the lenses are OEM and in excellent condition with the exception of some minor imperfections in the pass rear tail lens.

Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters

Thu, 29 May 2014

Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet spotted testing in the nude

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

The Porsche 911 wouldn't be the Porsche 911 unless there were twenty-something different models to choose from (note: we are not complaining), and the latest one was just spied by our trusty photographers out on Germany's Nürburgring. Feast your eyes on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet - the droptop version of the new Turbo wonder that debuted in May - looking all sorts of stealth in its black-on-black-on-black prototype scheme.
Mechanically, the 911 Turbo Cab should be identical to the fixed-roof version, meaning a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine will live in the car's rump, putting out something like 520 horsepower. Of course, there's also the hotter Turbo S version of the coupe, and we expect that to get the droptop treatment, as well, with 560 horsepower on tap. The added weight of the folding top and additional structural supports will likely make for slightly slower 0-60 times for both cars, though considering the base Turbo will hit 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds, "slower" is a very relative term indeed. All that force will run to the ground via all-wheel drive, managed by Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission.
The wide stance of the 911 Turbo Coupe carries over to the Cabriolet, no doubt fitted with the same (standard) 20-inch wheels. Inside, the usual luxury amenities will be on hand, along with nearly endless customization options.
