1974 Porsche 914 Base 1.8l on 2040-cars
Renton, Washington, United States
This is a 1974 Porsche with a 1.7 engine.
The engine has recently been re-built, mildly warmed over breathing through dual Dell's. It runs and shifts quite smoothly The engine has ~9,100 miles since the rebuild; enough to know it was done properly but not nearly enough to be ready for another rebuild. Unlike most folks on CL, I can truly say those are mostly highway miles. In the past year I have driven this car up Pikes Peak, down to Oklahoma, to Ohio, then out to Washington; with a few other trips in between. The 914 has been perfectly reliable through all of this. If you're looking for a reliable car that you can hop in tomorrow and go to Florida, this is it. Included with the car is a logbook with every fill-up, oil change, maintenance item, etc.. Since the first start-up of the rebuilt engine. This is an Oklahoma car, no rust. The paint is presentable, but it's not a show car either. As would be expected to make a car this old extremely reliable, it's had a lot of new parts put on it. Essentially every important piece of rubber has been replaced. All parts installed in 9100 miles, most of them in the past year. Some of the ones I remember: -New tires, still look really nice. -New BMW 320i front calipers -Rebuilt Rear calipers -New Tranny input seal -New 1st gear syncro -New rear wheel bearings -New Clutch disc And many more things I can't think of right now. Needs: Flashing light that comes on with parking brake no longer works. Wipers don't work. Please give me a call with any questions: 405-714-8703 |

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.

Autoblog Podcast #344:
Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.
