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.

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.
Porsche Cayenne GTS, base models revealed ahead of LA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.
Sitting below the Turbo in the lineup, the latest GTS still offers plenty of performance. It drops the previous version's naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a tuned version of the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 from the Cayenne S for some added oomph. The tweaks bring power up to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket the model to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The bump also equates to 20 hp and 39 lb-ft more than the current S and more importantly 20 hp and 62 lb-ft more than the previous GTS, according to Porsche.
In addition to the extra muscle, Porsche also decks the GTS out with some added features. It comes with a standard sport exhaust and Porsche Active Suspension Management system with an air suspension lets the chassis sit about three-quarters of an inch lower (20 millimeters). To bring things to a halt, the high-performance models also takes its brakes from the Turbo model.
Editors’ Picks July 2022 | Volvo XC60, 911 GT3 and a hot Hyundai
Tue, Aug 16 2022This latest rendition of Editors’ Picks sees us recognize some enthusiast-focused vehicles on both sides of the price spectrum and a luxury SUV. The 911 GT3 was an easy shoo-in, but the Hyundai Elantra N is what surprised us the most. WeÂ’re sad to see the Veloster N bow out after this year, but at least the N model in its place is a worthy one. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in July that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Volvo XC60 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge View 36 Photos Quick take: The Volvo XC60 is one of our favorite luxury crossovers, and the PHEV option is a killer setup. We dig the interior design, and the exterior is attractively Swedish, too. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Genesis GV70, Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Volvo XC60, Lincoln Corsair, Infiniti QX50, Porsche Macan Pros: Great design, epic PHEV option, intriguing interior design options Cons: Tech can be cumbersome, big wheels lead to a stiff ride From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "When it comes to plug-in hybrids, there's no better compact crossover option than the XC60 Recharge. I really dig the extra-powerful electric motor and larger battery Volvo added this year. The interior wool option is my pick of the bunch, but I am a little disappointed that there aren't as many physical buttons throughout the interior as there were before." News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "Although it's got some age, the Volvo XC60 is still an excellent premium SUV. It's as handsome as ever with its clean, modern design inside and out, and feels genuinely luxurious. But what really sets the XC60 apart is its available plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's smooth and refined, and best of all, it's still great in electric mode.
