73 Porsche 914 2.0, Arizona & Florida car rust free.
I have included lots of pictures, if you want a picture of any particular part of the car let me know and I'll be happy to send a hi-res photo. Vehicle Description This auction is for a 1973 Porsche 914 This rust free car has the following original factory options:
History The car lived in Arizona until 1994 and was originally purchased from Camelback Porsche (the Camelback Porche licence plate frame is included). The car was then stored until 1997, when it began an extensive 3 year long restoration. The car was purchased in 2002 and shipped to Florida where it has been in an air conditioned garage to date. Paint and Body This car was completely disassembled in 1997. The front & rear trunks, engine compartment, and passenger compartments were all sanded down and an epoxy primer was applied to prohibit rust. Then painted with a urethane top coat, and finished with concept 2020 clear coat. The body was completely stripped to metal, epoxy primered, then a coat of two part K36 sandable primer, guide coated, sealed with epoxy sealer, then top coated with urethane paint and clear coated with concept 2020 clear coat. All paint products used were high quality PPG products. The stripe was painted first then taped off and then the body was painted. The clear coat was applied over both the stripe and the red body at the same time so the stripe is inside the paint and cannot be felt.The gauge face plate also has the stripe painted on it. This creates a great visual effect from behind the wheel. The front and rear valances, rocker panels, side sails and top were all sanded, primed, and painted with high gloss paint and concept 2020 clear. Engine and Drive-train The 2.0 case, crank, connecting rods, and heads were sent to Zim's Autotechnik in Texas for inspection and rebuilding. The case was align bored and the connecting rods were rebuilt with new piston end bushings and cap bolts. The crank was within specification and required no attention. The heads got new phosphorus bronze valve guides pressend in, new valve tappets, new stainless intake valves, and new sodium filled exhaust valves. The head was fly-cut for a new sealing surface. The core heads had no cracks and didn't need to be repaired. New pistions and cylinders were used as well as a new Webcam cam and lifter set. The original fuel injection-was refurbished and installed. Stainless steel heat exchangers and a new factory 73-74 muffler was installed. The engine starts quick, runs cool and wonderfully smooth. Air Conditioning Aftermarket air conditioning was professionally installed in 2003 by Black Forest in Fort Lauderdale FL. The original air duct has been removed (but saved) and replaced with a double vent located on the passenger side. I got sick of hitting my knees on it and it covered part of the center console and, it's such a small interior there is no need for such an elaborate ventilation system. I realize that Porsche purists may frown on added AC but in South Florida it's an absolute necessity. Other Extras include:
Vehicle Condition This is one of the nicest 1973 914's you will find. It has approximately 8,000 miles on it since its restoration. Its restoration missed no important details to make it a terrific daily driver and a show car on weekends. Its minor defects include: the top paint is cracking in a few areas, and very minor dings on doors and panels. Minor damage to the upper left corner of the driver's side seat caused by a a teething puppy, bad doggie! The 2.0 engine came from a 1976 2.0 with 76K original miles on it before it was rebuilt. The mileage is approximate due to the odometer not functioning. Other than these things, it is truly in wonderful condition. A nice find for the true 914 enthusiast, a great daily driver or weekend racer.

Porsche Classic puts modern navigation in older cars [w/video]
Mon, Feb 23 2015People drive classic vehicles for many, many reasons. Maybe it's because they're cool, or they bring back memories, or perhaps they just want to take a trip back in time, before the days of adaptive cruise control, massaging seats and satellite navigation. You know, back to when driving was about, well, driving. Someone did not mention this reasoning to Porsche, because the German company has decided to offer the tiniest, most ridiculous in-dash navigation system we've ever laid eyes on, through its Porsche Classic line. Because, you know, people don't own smartphones nowadays. In fact, most smartphones are significantly bigger than Porsche's new nav setup. The touchscreen is just 3.5 inches in size, although its graphical layout is clean and in line with the company's more modern offerings. It also integrates a new entertainment system, which adds Bluetooth connectivity and a 4x45 watt amp. The system is being offered for a wide array of vintage Porsches, ranging from the most modern, air-cooled 993s, all the way back to the earliest 911. Four-cylinder and V8 models, as well as front and mid-engine cars, can be fitted with the nav system, too. Porsche Classic has priced the new system at the frankly absurd price of 1,184 euros ($1,344 at today's rates), though we're sure a large number will indeed be sold and installed. Dedicated US pricing is still pending. Check out Porsche's rather silly video of the system in action, available alongside the full press release below. This content is hosted by a third party.

PORSCHE CLASSIC BRINGS OUT NEW NAVIGATION RADIO FOR CLASSIC SPORTS CARS True-to-style upgrade with state-of-the-art technology Atlanta. Classic on the outside yet ultra-modern on the inside: with its newly developed navigation radio, Porsche is responding to the growing demand for a built-in device for classic sports cars. The purpose-built unit combines the style of yesteryear with the benefits of modern technology. It fits perfectly into the DIN-1 slot that has been used in the sports cars for decades and is operated by means of two knobs, six discreetly integrated buttons and a touch-sensitive 3.5-inch display. Thanks to the appearance of the black surface and the shape of the knobs, which are supplied in two authentically styled versions as standard, the navigation radio blends harmoniously into the dashboard of classic Porsche models.
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
