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

On Jan-14-13 at 11:31:55 PST, seller added the following information:

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.

2012 TechArt Porsche 911 is visually dazzling, both inside and out

Wed, 07 Mar 2012

One way to ensure that your brand-new Porsche 911 (a.k.a. 991) won't look like the one in your neighbor's driveway is to give TechArt a call. The famed German tuner has rolled out its version of the latest Carrera and Carrera S at the Geneva Motor Show and trust us, it won't be mistaken for anything from the factory in Stuttgart.
Up front, TechArt has fitted its own unique two-part spoiler with integrated splitter while more aggressive side skirts adorn the rocker panels. The rear has a new lower diffuser, wrapped around the TechArt exhaust, and a large fixed rear wing (complete with an integrated third brake light). Look more closely to notice the subtle trim panels on the exterior mirrors and front headlights. The wheels are lightweight forged 20- and 21-inch alloys with matching paint on their rims.
Inside the heavily modified cabin are even more drastic enhancements (let's say TechArt has gone over the top). Don't let the aluminum pedals be a distraction as you inspect the black Alcantara and high-grade leather covering nearly every square inch. Flirting with gaudy, the dark upholstery is contrasted by vehicle-color-coordinated stitching and painted trim splashed throughout. However, the icing on the cake is an insanely thick TechArt three-spoke sports steering wheel.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.Â Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
