 I am selling what was my father in laws 1973 Porsche 914 2.0.  It is a strong running 2.0 and runs well, starts right up and shifts nicely as well.  The odometer reads 104k miles and it holds oil very well. The engine has some oil dampness on the bottum, but I see only one drop every 6 months to a year.  The heat is hooked up and puts out a lot of heat.   It was originally black and was repainted at one point to red.  The current paint is about 15 year old enemal and I would call the paint job a 7 our of 10.   The aluminum trim is in nice condition and the chrome bumpers are some of the nicest I have seen in years.  A new battery tray was  just installed. Door gaps are good.  Overall, the floor pan in very solid.  There is some rust in the rear triangle area for the floors on each side.  Something must have happened in the front at some point.  The piece that the bumper bolts to had been replaced.  There is all 5 fuch rims including the spare which are nice, just could use some polishing.   The carpets are very nice.  There are a couple cracks in the dash, a couple small tears in the seats and back pad.  There is a center console with the three gauges.  The breaks work very well with a 19mm 911 master cylinder, the front rotors, wheel bearings and pads are new and the front calipers were rebuilt a couple years ago.  If I were keeping the car I would put on new rear rotors and pads.  There is stainless steel heat exchangers and a hand sewn leather steering wheel.  I have driven the car about 100 miles this spring and it has been a fun driver and reliable.  The car is located about 15 miles south of Ohare airport just outside of Chicago. It could be driven home, or if you have a need for shipping, I have had very good luck with Fed EX auto transport(800-325-4267).  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Good luck bidding!

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'

Fri, Dec 26 2014

Automobile has a lengthy piece this month on how the four German mass-market luxury manufacturers each plan to go after Tesla with their own electric vehicles. It was written by Georg Kacher, the magazine's European bureau chief, and the English version came a month after he wrote the German-language original for Autobild. Tesla isn't exactly a threat to the Germans, but, according to the report, the Model S is planting the right kinds of seeds in niches that are important to the luxury players. The thinking is that - in addition to needed electric vehicles anyway for stricter US regulations - it's better to start designing the machinery now. The article posited Porsche's attack would rest on the coming Panamera platform, but a big hurdle would be battery placement. Unable to find one large space for a lithium-ion pack, engineers would instead put batteries everywhere they could, for a supposed tally of some "108 battery pouches" throughout the body. A few days after the Automobile piece, however, Porsche publicly said it had no intention of challenging the Model S, because the enthusiastic driving the brand is known for doesn't jive with useful range. In Kacher's retelling, Mercedes' plans are even more ambitious, supposedly taking aim at the Model S and the coming Model X. It would do this with an investment in excess of $2 billion in a program called "Ecoluxe" – Mercedes has no brand division akin to BMW's i and Audi's e-tron. The new brand would create a four-strong family of bespoke electric vehicles: a smaller platform with a wheelbase around 106 inches and a larger one with a wheelbase around 118 inches. In addition, the range would have "provisions for rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering." The numbers are impressive: seating for seven in the larger vehicles, both longer than 16 feet, front and rear storage areas, ratings of up to 610 horsepower and production capacity of 80,000 units per year. When would we see such creatures? Perhaps as soon as 2019. We do know that if Tesla can knock the Model X over the outfield fence, automakers are going to have to do something. We don't know what the chances are that Ecoluxe is Mercedes' first move - but such a plan could help explain the weird Mercedes concept spied in October.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.

The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps.
The final hour would make up for the morning - drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and that turned into a few gambles that paid off, and at least one that didn't...
