Original California car  with no rust issues. It is very attractive and I have had people actually run after this car wanting to know more about it--I think it's the color and sleek lines that attract. The body is very straight and original engine has been replaced with 912 case, counter balanced crank, aluminum rods, racing pistons, performance cam, solid lifters, dual 40 Webers. Car is built for speed.

Interior is in good condition-classic sport steering wheel has great feel and carpets are new. 
Corbeau classic bucket sport seats are a beautiful and functional addition to the vehicle. Heat exchangers  have been removed for weight and power savings ..The windshield is new, and all glass is tinted. Dash has a few cracks but nothing major. CD  player is added.
Battery tray has been removed as battery has been relocated to rear trunk for better weight distribution and room in the engine bay. Engine bay,  undercarriage and front and rear storage areas are coated with a protective spray (similar to truck bed liner material.) Custom carpet panels and carpeted battery box. Electronic ignition is new, front  brakes are upgraded BMW 320i and rear brakes have been rebuilt ( new rotors and pads all around.).  Transmission is smooth and all linkage bushings have been replaced.

Car comes with one pair of original 911 seats which we replaced with the Corbeau bucket sport seats for a better fit in this car.One 911 seat has a slight tear . The car had several bubbles under the green paint which we tried to eliminate. Unfortunately the paint company sent the wrong color and it is much lighter, and shows in two small spots on each side of the car near the doors. We left it alone, not wanting to do any more harm than we already had. Properly matching the existing color paint would be the fix here.

This 914 is capable of great speed and handling if that's your thing.

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.

Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4

Thu, Apr 7 2016

On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:
