For sale is a 1975 Porsche 914 Barn Find. This car was on the road last in 2000. Previous owner said he bought the car in 1985 and enjoyed driving it for 15 years, then a few issues with the fuel injection system parked the car in 2000 and before you know it, its 2014 and time to move it on. The body is very straight and no damage and all panel gaps are even.  Odometer reads 77,242 but I cannot verify that this is original mileage, but previous owner said it was correct. The interior is in great condition except for one small (1"x 1") tear in the drivers seat. Door panels and dash are in great condition, carpet is a little  faded.
 The previous owner said he had the car repainted in 1999, and for the most part the paint looks fine, but there are a few places where rust has bubbled through around the bottom of the window and around the top of the doors. The floor boards are solid and rust free. Rockers look rust free and I have jacked the car up using the  factory jack system and there is no issue in that area. Front trunk must have had a rust issue in the bottom of the spare tire area, as the previous owner had cut out a section and never got around to finishing the repair. I can not get the rear trunk hatch to open, so can not say what its like, other than it looks solid from under side. Both door locks do not work from the out side, but work fine from the inside, previous owner told me that was a common 914 problem and it  needed a small new part to fix them. Brakes are rusty and will need over hauling. Battery tray is total rusted out, typical 914 problem. The exhaust system is also rusted out from sitting for 14 years. I did not try to start the engine or shift the transmission, but previous owner said they both worked fine when he parked it in 2000 to fix the fuel injection. Wheels are standard 914 aluminum with almost new tires.  All gauges and lights look fine, however, I didn't install a battery to check them out.  Car seems to be very original and I have the original ignition key.  I purchased this car with the hopes of building a track car, but life has got in the way and need to move this car on to someone who will restore it. The car does not run, drive or stop, so it will need to be towed away. The car includes the original jack and tool set as well as a spare tire and aluminum wheel. 
Title is a clear Florida title.
A $500 deposit to PayPal is required from the buyer within 24 hours of the winning bid, and remainder in cash, PayPal or money order before pick up of car.
Transportation is at buyers expense, and car will have to be towed as it does not run or stop.

What is the fastest car in the world in 2024?

Sat, Jun 15 2024

It wasn't that long ago that the notion of reaching 200 miles per hour in a car, on a road, seemed basically impossible. As you likely know by now, that time has passed. And once that threshold was crossed, the automotive world immediately began eying the next triple-digit benchmark: 300 miles per hour. It may have taken a little while, but the 300-mph line has been crossed, and some cars have moved well past that seemingly insane speed number. While some of these speeds have been achieved in simulations (including the fastest car listed below), there's little doubt that a driver with nerves of steel and a heavy right foot could indeed push several automobiles up to 300 miles per hour and beyond. Interestingly, it’s not just one car or automaker in the 300-mph club, as a handful of models have earned a place (sometimes claimed but not yet demonstrated) on the leaderboard. The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH) That title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023. The carÂ’s twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 lays down 1,600 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque, which plays a significant role in delivering that speed, but KoenigseggÂ’s engineers have given the car a lot more than mind-blowing power. The Jesko Absolut has a super-slippery 0.278 drag coefficient and a nine-speed transmission that shifts so quickly itÂ’s almost imperceptible. Koenigsegg calls it a Light Speed Transmission (LST), saying its shifts happen at almost light speed. While that might be a slight exaggeration, the gearbox is impressive, bringing several wet multi-disc clutches and a super lightweight construction. As Koenigsegg says, "the Jesko Absolut is destined to achieve higher, more extraordinary speeds than any Koenigsegg or any other fully homologated car before it." How expensive is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut? If you were reading that and wondering how much the fastest car in the world costs, the price tag is just another dizzying number on the Jesko Absolut's spec sheet. All 125 Absolut cars offered sold out at a price of almost $3 million. Of course, being able to afford the Koenigsegg is just the first step in realizing its full potential. There are very few places on the map that can support a 300-plus-mph speed run, and the locations that do are not conveniently located.

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.

Porsche Cayman gets a new face

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
