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. |

Topiary Joe sculpts the ultimate in green cars
Sat, Mar 15 2014Efficient cars are all the rage these days, but Joe Kyte has made a business of crafting some of the coolest green cars around – literally. Kyte is better known by his nickname Topiary Joe, and in addition to being a talented artist, he is also a real gearhead. Kyte has been creating topiaries for the last 20 years. It began when he was marketing greenhouse products to Walt Disney World and saw their plant sculptures. He realized that he could do that and since then, has done around 3,400 pieces. His most intriguing creations are the rolling sculptures that move and turn. Prices for those start at about $18,000 and can be as high as $30,000. While, the wheels are machine-bent, Kyte said all the other parts are done with a table vice and a Lincoln Electric arc welder. Topiary Joe is taking the Porsche (pictured above) to Palm Beach later this year to sell or says he may donate it to Porsche North America. If you really want it, the sculpture is currently on Craigslist for sale for $24,000. Topiary Joe has also had a life-long love of cars. "I was driving my first MG Midget before I was 14," he told Autoblog. He grew up in Oak Ridge, TN, where the Manhattan Project was partially developed. He says the town was full of recent college grads driving Mercedes, and he caught the bug. His automotive mentor was a nuclear physicist who taught him to repair and restore the Mercs. Kyte has completed commissions for Sandals Resort, Dreamworks, Absolut, and many more. Among his favorite creations is the Ferrari that he created at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that is now exhibited at the airport each year before the race.

2014 Porsche Cayman S
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.
The holidays are coming and this Singer Designs book is great
Thu, Nov 12 2015None of us should expect to get one of Singer's beautifully reimagined Porsche 911s for the holidays, but a new book titled One More than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911 at least lets you give, or receive, some sensational photos of them. The 275-page book tells the story of Singer founder Rob Dickinson and what inspires him to put so much effort into making 911s even better. The opinions of auto writers and industry personalities accompany Dickinson's tale, but the lavish photography is the true highlight. Based on the preview photos in the gallery above, the shots perfectly capture the company's machines from all the best angles. Former Autoblogger Michael Harley co-authors the book. There might still be time to order the $85 book for a friend (or yourself) in time for the holidays because the publisher guarantees delivery by Christmas for the first 200 of them. Dickinson will also sign copies at the Petersen Museum's re-opening preview day on Dec. 6. The publisher will also offer 100 copies of a limited edition for a hefty $911. These will come in a custom display case from Singer's craftspeople, and they'll include exclusive artwork. SINGER VEHICLE DESIGN EXCLUSIVITY MAY NOW BE MORE ATTAINABLE AS POINT OF ENTRY BEGINS WITH BACKGROUND STORY "One More than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911" New Book – Perfect Holiday Gift for Porsche 911 Fans PR Newswire, LOS ANGELES – November 10, 2015 As the world continues to take notice of a little restoration shop in Southern California that has provided a re-birth of sorts to old and tired Porsche 964s, many have come to believe the ability to enter the inner circle of Singer Vehicle Design was well beyond reach. However, as the holiday season draws upon us, there's one pathway to ownership within a less limited perspective that enthusiasts just may find easier on their pocket-book too – that being the release of the background story of the impeccable craftsmanship within Rob Dickinson's "re"imagination of Porsche 911s and the launch of his book "One More Than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911" currently available at www.singervehicledesign.com on a pre-order basis, as well as through publishing house Stance & Speed at http://www.stanceandspeed.com/automotive-books/one-more-than-10-singer-and-the-porsche-911.
