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.

Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show

Wed, Oct 7 2015

We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.

Porsche already considering even more hardcore Cayman GT4 RS?

Fri, Mar 6 2015

We're not sure what kind of person would look at the new Porsche Cayman GT4 and say "that's not enough," but we're sure they're out there. And to satisfy just such a customer, Porsche could very well offer a GT4 RS version in the future. "This is just the beginning of the era. I would be interested in doing a Cayman GT4 RS version, but at the moment we didn't even talk about such a thing. If the customers call for something like this we could think about it." These are the words of Andreas Preuninger, speaking with Evo at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show this week. As head of Porsche's GT line, Preuninger and his team are responsible for creating hardcore track models like the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS and – for the first time Â– the new Cayman GT4. Clearly buoyed by the early success of the GT4, Prenuninger is already looking towards the next step. Considering that the existing model already packs a 3.8-liter flat six with 385 horsepower and the manual transmissions so many GT3 fans miss, we're not sure how much more they could get out of the Cayman Â– but we'll sure enjoy watching them try.
