1975 Porsche 914 Targa in very, very good daily driver condition. -matching numbers car, engine
number GC000102. Nice example of an original 914 that is not concourse but an extra nice car that would make any
driver proud.
Interior: All new interior in perfect condition. New seats, door panels, back pad, dash, carpet and many new
seals. 12 inch Momo Course steering wheel (which I almost replace with original but this one feels much better to
drive). New Rennline aluminum floorboard.
Exterior: Brand new paint with very nice shine. Not perfect with some blemishes but hard to tell. No dents,
scratches or dings. Bumpers clean with no damage but do show signs of age but again, hard to tell especially from a
few feet away. Wheels are original 914 fuchs, clean with shine, not perfect but look very nice and no major (hardly
even minor) scratches or curb rashes. Perfect door gaps.
Engine: The most desirable 2.0 Liter of the 4 cylinder 914's. Starts right up and idles smooth with original fuel
injection. Clutch depresses smooth and also with no noise or slipping. New valve adjustment, new pushrod tube
seals, new valve cover gaskets, new vacuum lines, new fuel injector seals, new points, new ignition wires, new
spark plugs, new intake boots, new intake manifold gaskets, new head temperature sensor, new air filter. Fresh oil
change.
Mechanical: All mechanical aspects of this car are very good for a 41 year old auto. Shifts smooth with new shift
bushings on the 5 speed, side shifter gearbox. New front brakes that stop smooth, in a straight line. New battery
in the more practical trunk mount position. Had some rust but all has been repaired/treated and now is a solid car.
Overview: I tried my best to show all aspects of this car to help anyone interested in making a decision. You need
to see it for yourself in order to; 1: Appreciate how nice it is. 2: Decide if, in your eyes, this is the car for
you. Different people have differing opinions. Please inspect photos carefully as they are part of the
description. This is “not” a perfect car so if you are looking for that, keep looking. It “is” a very
nice car that looks extremely nice. Title in hand and smog exempt (at least in CA.). 2017 tags just arrived. The
car is a blast to drive down a country road and has no overheating or running problems. It looks and feels, almost
like a brand new car. Brand new tires also. Odometer shows 18930 but actual mileage is unknown.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When 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.

Toyo Tires will bring another wild catalog of rides to SEMA

Sun, Oct 27 2019

Toyo Tires carts all kinds of toys to SEMA every year, the rubber company planning another 30 or so automotive exhibits this year in two locations. One of them, the Baja 911, comes with a pedigree not usually associated with the bewildering wares hawked at the Las Vegas show. TJ Russell was once lead fabricator for Singer Vehicle Design, now he's the head of Russell Built Fabrication in Sun Valley, CA. Sticking with the marque he knows well, Russell started with a 1991 Porsche Carrera 4 cabriolet, fitted the interior with a full roll cage, then built a hardtop around it to design a desert runner channeling the old Rothmans safari 911s. Underneath that bodywork lives a box-plate trailing arm suspension with 12 inches of travel, working 15-inch Fifteen52 FIA-approved Gravel wheels and 30-inch Toyo Open Country A/T II tires. Power comes from a purpose-built 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six with about 350 horsepower — 100 hp more than stock — in a car that weighs 400 pounds less than the original. Oh, and as documented on Instagram with the tagline "All race outside, all business inside," the interior's full of quilted, cross-stitched leather, and Toyo says Russell's going to do a low-volume run of the Baja 911 starting early next year. ruffian-ford-mustang-sema-01 View 10 Photos Chris Ashton built a 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback called the Ruffian Mustang, inspired by the Trans Am Racing Series. The exterior changes are more subtle than one might think – the chin spoiler, hood scoop, and side mirrors are barely exaggerated versions of those on the original car, the intake vents astride the front lights and the steel bumpers teleported from 1970. Changes outside include de-chromed and flush-mounted glass, vented hood, front fenders that are dropped an inch, rear fender vents, dual side-exit pipes, and gargantuan fender flares over staggered Signature One wheels and Toyo Proxes 888 tires. The interior's fitted with a roll cage and race car workings. In spite of the Boss 427 badging, the engine's a 625-hp Chevrolet LS3 V8. button-built-ferrari-355-sema-01 View 13 Photos The Button Built Ferrari BB355TT picks up from last year's stanced BB328GTS widebody that gave many Internet denizens heart attacks. Laid up on a 1999 355 Berlinetta, the BB version appends a widebody kit designed Mitchell Button, rendered by Khyzyl Saleem and drenched in Azzuro la Plata, a color from Ferrari's Scagliette palette first used on a 1967 275GTB Le Mans racer.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
