Sun Valley, California, United States
Additional photos and details may be added over the next couple days.
Mileage unknown, reads 58,000. Good running condition with freshly rebuilt 2 liter engine(new pistons/cylinders, main and rod bearings, cam, lifters, gaskets, valve guides, etc) Fuel system upgraded to Megasquirt with modern 43psi side feed injectors, Bosch 911 fuel pump and filter setup, moved to front under the gas tank, with steel high pressure line installed, but using the stock plastic low pressure return line, all tuned with Innovate's datalogging/tuning software. 15x8 rims look pretty good, but have blemishes from age. Entire body cleaned/repaired/painted. Re-lubed CV joints. New clutch, speedo, and throttle cables. No work was done on any of the running gear with the exception of the cv joints. Has minimal interior. Windshield has crack behind mirror, but is on the inside of the glass, and has not grown for the past 8 years. There are many shops that can repair the crack if you so desire. Most of the undercarriage has been cleaned up and recoated. Paint is new Eurocote urethane, but is race car grade. It was probably decided some time in the relatively distant past to change the car from it's original color of black, to white, due to the added fiberglass body kit. The doors have baby turbo mirrors. Car was sitting in driveways for the past 20 or so years, with a chevy V6 and a Kennedy adapter kit sitting in parts in the front boot, but never installed. Previous owner/s eventually tossed the whole engine lot in a scrap pile somewhere. I purchased a 914 engine and rebuilt it for this car. The brakes are bone stock. I spent approx. 1000 hours fixing this car up. Repaired rust areas at battery pit, and under seats. Should be good to go for another 10 to 15 years. I can provide and install at additional cost at end of auction, the below engines: Subaru ej25 $2200 installed with megasquirt2 on stock 914 transmission, Horsepower improvement of about 90hp and similar weight. Subaru eg33 $2800 installed with megasquirt2, but necessitates the use of a boxster transmission and clutch, axels, and shift cable mechanisms, so additional cost for that. This can add up to about 160hp above the stock type 4 engine. Can also install boxster engine and trans set if you like, must negotiate price with salvage yard. Also available: Original 72 911S engine installed for $18,000, bolts direct to original 914 trans. The above engine offerings do not include the engine that is in the car now. iow, I keep it. These cars were designed for boxer engines. Don't ask if I will install your "V" type engine. The only exceptions I will make for other engine installs, are the Mazda Wankel engines, up to the 3 rotors, or a Lycoming type aircraft 4 cylinder boxer engine. I, the seller, am perfectly capable of preforming any upgrade you might want to this, or just about any engine or car. There are regularly some really nice tube frame race cars shown here on ebay. The work done on any of those other cars is well within my skill range. |

Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.
'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche buys stake in carbon fiber partsmaker, Formula E runs on solar
Thu, Mar 5 2015The US Department of Energy is providing $35 million in new funding for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. The money will fund projects to advance technology and speed up adoption of fuel cell applications like light-duty vehicles. Categories for possible projects include deployment of fuel-cell electric hybrid vehicles, mobile refueling and one called "Crosscutting: America's Climate Communities of Excellence." Other possible projects include research and development for hydrogen production, delivery and fuel cell manufacturing. Read more from the DOE. Porsche will buy a 25.1-percent stake in carbon fiber parts manufacturer Capricorn Composite GmbH. Capricorn has provided parts for Porsche's LMP1 racecar and 918 Spyder. The deal will give the automaker better access to the lightweight material going forward, and will "build on joint work over many years in the motor-sports industry and secure the future," according to Porsche. Porsche's parent company Volkswagen owns almost 10 percent of Capricorn's competitor SGL Carbon SE, but an expansion of that ownership could be thwarted by BMW, which controls more of SGL's stock.

Florida Power & Light (FPL) will provide the electricity the cars will be using for the race on March 14, and its Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center provided the electricity the cars used during the announcement event. "Our partnership with Formula E and the Miami ePrix is another example of our commitment to advancing zero-emissions solar energy and the use of electric vehicles in Florida," says FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy. FPL currently operates two other solar plants, with plans to install 1 million solar panels at three more power plants by the end of next year. Read more at Domestic Fuel.
