1974 Porsche 914/ 2.0l on 2040-cars
Santa Ana, California, United States
|
This rare 1974 Porsche
roadster (914) with a 2.0 liter engine comes with dual 40mm double barrel
carburetors. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles.
This car runs good, and it gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are
no major scratches nor dents on the exterior. The paint is okay, but there are
a few imperfections, especially on the front hood. There is no visible rust.
The tires are good, with about 70% of tread left. The brakes work fine, and I
have extra brakes/calipers and many other spare parts for this vehicle. Car
also comes with the original owner's manual and with about 15 repair books
covering the entire vehicle (motor, transmission, electrical, body, suspension,
fuel system, etc). The lights (electrical) on this car work fine.
Registration/tags are good through August of 2014 and car is insured. I have
the title/ pink slip registered to me.
The seats are
recaro/ Porsche seats from a 2000 Porsche Boxter or Carrera; they have seat
covers and are a lot more comfortable than the original! The carpet, door
panels, the back pad, the dash and everything in the interior looks good. Doors
open and close fine and all door handles and window cranks work fine. The front
glass and windows are good without cracks. The rubber seals are there, and they
keep the interior dry. The dash is the original one, and was somewhat
refurbished (cracks were filled and sanded, & dash was dyed black). Car has
a nice Alpine CD stereo, and it also has several speakers. Car also comes with
a center console with 3 gauges (clock, voltage and temp). There is a newer
spare tire in the front compartment with a jack.
There are some
minor things that might need attention, like the AC, heater and the
speedometer. They are either not functional or they are simply not connected
(could be a fuse, relay or a line not connected). Fuel and temp gauges work
fine. Also, I recently noticed that the car has a really minor oil leak,
possibly from a pushrod tube. The seal might need to be replaced (easy fix). I always
drove this vehicle on the weekends, with the top off (I never needed any AC or
heater). Since my baby was born about 7 months ago, I haven't been driving it
too much, and now It is time to pass it on. I regularly had a technician adjust
the valves, carburetors and the timing. The car is 40 years old and it is in
really good condition, overall! It is a survivor!! Potential buyers are
welcome to come see the car. Thanks for your interest. |

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Vintage-ish Porsche 911 buying guide
Tue, Jul 21 2015Harry Metcalfe is always great at showing viewers the intricate details of the vehicles in his collection as part of the Harry's Garage series. This time he's helping out future buyers by explaining what to look for when purchasing a classic and slightly more modern Porsche 911. His examples for this lesson are two absolute beauties that are about to cross the block from Silverstone Auctions in the UK: a 1972 2.4 S and a 1991 964-chassis RS Clubsport. The '72 in creamy white here epitomizes the look of early 911s. The coupe is handsome, purposeful, and fairly compact by modern standards. According to Metcalfe, when looking at one, don't worry about a wobbly gearshift. Apparently, they're all like that, even ones as well cared for as this example. As with any used car purchase, he recommends trying to get as many service records as you can. It's just good to know as much about the vehicle's life as possible before throwing down any cash. Where the '72 911 shows the more gentlemanly side of the brand, the '91 RS Clubsport is Porsche proving the company's performance credentials. Metcalfe slightly dings the switch to an aftermarket air filter here, but overall it's hard to find a major fault. These cars were essentially road-going racers in this trim. The engineers in Zuffenhausen chopped out as much weight as possible and then fitted Recaro racing buckets and a roll cage. This thing was meant clock as many laps around the 'Ring as the driver could stand.
