I purchased this car seven years ago as a completed V8 conversion and drove it a few thousand miles while at the same time upgrading it in several ways. The car had a minor fire when new, was therefore totalled and became a doner for this project. That explaines the low mileage, it was one of the first such conversions ever done. This car has seen very limited use for its entire life and never been out in inclement weather. The rust on the floorboards is evidently from storage, as I mentioned, one area does need repair where the floor meets the firewall behind the seats. My upgrades have been to the routing of the cooling lines, getting them thru the rocker panels and up thru the front to the radiator. This was accomplished with several custom made pieces of hardware. Where they pass thru tunnels in the fuel tank, header wrap totally prevents any heat transfer to the fuel itself. I was taking this car on road trips and driving it around untill I hit a curb with the right rear wheel and bent the swingarm on that side and cracked the 901 gearbox with that impact. The body remained absolutely unharmed and straight. At that point, 3 years ago, my activity stalled with this car due to having to relocate my business and economic conditions in general. The engine remains out of the car, and waiting to go back in with it is the CROWN JEWEL of what I have to offer here . . . a totally modified 930 transaxle with all new parts and limited slip differential. Additionally, I designed and built a mechanical shifter that shortens the overall length by 4 inches, making it ideal to put into a 914. The photo of the stock and new shift rods shows how this is possible, all of this was assembled by Perfect Power Inc., Buffalo Grove Illinois, whose absolute specialty is Porsche. They did or contracted for all the special machining and modifications to use this in a mid-engine car. I have complete build sheets and ratio/speed information, I spent over 12 thousand dollars on this box before creating the shifter. The interior is in very good condition with no cracks in the dash, every thing works. I have a replacement swingarm. I myself have been in product developement, mechanical design and prototyping as a career working on consumer, medical, and industrial products making me competant in everything I accomplished here. I require an $800 paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction. You will be bidding to OWN this car, not an option to buy. Please have necessary funds available to complete this transaction within 7 business days of the sale in cash or bank wire transfer unless you and I make other arrangements. Car is sold "as is" with no warrantees. I have a clear Illinois title for this car, please ask all questions BEFORE bidding. Car may be picked up or shipping arrangements will have to be made. My phone is 312 972 0047, my name is Paul, thank you for looking. Please feel free to make offers.

Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans

Tue, Jun 17 2014

Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) Â– likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.

Ford Mustang outsold Audi TT and Porsche 911 in Germany

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Despite being the antithesis of the cars Germany is known for, the new Ford Mustang was the best selling sports car in the land of schnitzel and beer last month by a whisker. The Mustang beat out the Audi TT by 780 units to 708, and it beat Germany's best known performance car, the Porsche 911, 780 to 752. That makes some sense, right? The Mustang has to be cheaper than those competitors, right? Not really. Both the EcoBoost and V8-powered Mustang have higher starting prices than the equivalent TT. The 2.3-liter, EcoBoost-powered Mustang starts at 38,000 euros (around $43,300 at today's rates), while the front-drive Audi TT starts at 35,950 euros (about $41,000). The V8-powered Mustang GT, meanwhile, starts at 43,000 euros (about $49,000), which is just 2,550 euros more than the Quattro-equipped TT. When 310 horsepower or 435 hp can be had for just a couple thousand more than 220 hp, it's easy to understand the Mustang's success. The 911, of course, is a lot more expensive than the Mustang. You can buy two Mustang GTs for the price of a single Carrera. But Ford also managed to beat out the Porsche's smaller siblings, the Boxster and Cayman twins, which sold a combined 642 vehicles. Again, the pony car is significantly cheaper, but that doesn't do much to lessen the impact of the Mustang's victory. If you're in Germany and are concerned about this American invasion, you shouldn't be (yet). The TT is Germany's best-selling sports car from January through March, with 2,299 to the Ford's 1,823. Porsche is breathing down the pony car's neck, too, with 1,811 units in 2016. It'll be interesting to see if Ford's successful March carries on into the rest of 2016. Related Video:
