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 updates 919 Hybrid racer for 2015 season

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Porsche's grand return to the elite level of global endurance racing showed mixed success in its first year. The company did score one victory in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship season during the race in Brazil but finished in third place overall among the three factory manufacturers. Porsche is hoping for a few more wins in 2015 and is releasing its first shots of the updated car to achieve those triumphs when things kick off in April. The team's racer is still called the 919 Hybrid, but Porsche promises this second-generation version is a "comprehensive evolution" compared to last year. The most obvious change is the redesigned front end where the styling now features a simple horizontal intake running across the front (compare to 2014, below). The nose area also now flares out to the windshield. The side grows a more complicated look, though, with a series of fins just behind the driver compartment. Porsche isn't divulging many details about anything different under the skin. The 2015 919 is still propelled by a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4, and an electric motor powers the front wheels. There are also two energy recovery systems. In addition to the previous challengers from Audi and Toyota, Porsche has one more competitor in the factory ranks this season. The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo is rumored to be a radical departure from the rest of the field with an engine possibly located in front of the driver. Read the German brand's very brief release about the updated 919 Hybrid below and click through the gallery to see how it looks. Track debut for 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid Stuttgart. Extensive testing with the second generation of Porsche's Le Mans prototype will begin on January 18, on Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. As scheduled, this marks the start of the 2015 motorsport season for the Porsche Team. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid has already had its roll-out on the Weissach test track. As a next step, there will be several performance and endurance tests before the WEC season opener on April 12 in Silverstone, Great Britain. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid is a comprehensive evolution of the successful car that made its debut in 2014. It will feature the same innovative drivetrain concept consisting of a 2-litre V4 turbocharged petrol engine, an electric motor powering the front wheels, and two energy recovery systems. The new generation car had its first roll-out on December 15, 2014.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
