This is a '72 914 that I have built over the last four years to be a fun, daily driver/sleeper that will not attract too much attention, but will pull like a freight train when prodded. I have owned 914's back to 1983, seven total, and this is by far the most solid one. A life-long Calif. car, till shipped to Mich. for the conversion, it never had undercoat, so the original paint is visible on the pan. There is no rust in the floor, or rocker/long areas. Battery tray was removed, and located in the front trunk for weight balancing, and a simplified engine bay. The car was block sanded, and painted in base/clear Silver, to match original. Door shell interiors, and under floor pan were given coats of Waxoyl, a British sealer treatment to keep her rust free. The goal was to have a car I could hop in, have start instantly, and drive in whatever weather happened without worrying about her. Fuel tank was perfect, was cleaned, and sealed inside with an epoxy tank treatment. Rubber fuel lines are now braided stainless -6 lines. Windshield and rear glass were pulled for body work, and replaced by a pro, so no leaks. All lights and signals work, as do the emergency brake. Most of the cars rubber has been replaced with new, from 914 Rubber. All brake calipers are new in last four years, with new Mintax pads. New 19mm master cylinder upgrade, new 930 Turbo tie rods installed. Koni adj. shocks on rear, with 200 lb. springs, and Koni front inserts. Interior has new Perlon carpet set installed, and new dask cap. Seats are near perfect, as is the full interior. New, hi-output fuel pump, and Corvette filter, tank return installed. New brake fluid installed this May, and rear pad vent distance set. Three extra gauges installed in place of radio: oil pre., coolant temp, and voltmeter. The car has the Renegade aluminum radiator/fan set up, and runs under 180 deg. at all times. Aluminum tubing carries the coolant under the car to the rad. Pedal's have been rebuilt with bronze bushings, new clutch cable, Optima battery with billet battery hold down in front trunk. Mileage is correct, and odometer has been converted for the tire size, and gearing. Transaxle is a Renegade 4 speed conversion, with flipped tall gears in 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and was sent to Carlos at Bluesky for a full rebuild. Car has polished Fuch 4 bolt wheels, and a 5th with original spare mounted, (which has a lot of rash from curbing, but is functional). Tires are older Pirelli, but with full tread. Front and rear bumpers are fiberglass.

Engine is Chevy LS-1 from a '98 Camero, with original ECU gone thru to eliminate all un-needed stuff, wiring harness by Renegade Hybrides, as well as full LS install kit from Renegade ($3,000.) It starts instantly, runs quietly ,thru new pair of Walker Dynomax mufflers, but when you floor it, has gobs of torque, and is going 30 mph faster before you can react, even with the longer gearing. Cruising at 70mph is around 2700 rpm. At full throttle, the engine note is great, but no droning at cruise. This is a very nice clean driver; a few things remain to finish, and are: Tach is converted for 8 cyl, but need signal booster box wired in, (box included with car). Wipers have stopped working, but a complete wiper motor/assemble, also included. No heater or blower, due to the Chevy conversion, Renegade has kits for this, as well as air cond. if wanted. Some gear noise present in top gear despite full rebuild from Bluesky (build sheet, and receipts included with sale. I have a ton of hours in the car, and will answer any questions I can. call: 231-946-0724 Tom. Reserve is set low; once sold a paypal deposit of $500. must be sent within 24 hrs., and the balance paid via certified check or bank wire within 72 hrs.

Parents of terminally ill child sue after son dies following make-a-wish-style ride

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Some stories are so sad and depressing, they make you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. This is one such story. 14-year-old Raphael Wittman was suffering from an unspecified form of terminal cancer when he was invited by the children's cancer charity Kinder Krebs Hilfe to a charity drive organized by Porsche Forum Austria. During the drive, the Porsche Boxster Wittman was riding in was involved in a head-on collision. Both of his legs were broken and he bit off his tongue in the wreck. He died seven weeks later, in a Vienna hospital. Now, his father is suing the charity, claiming that the accident robbed his son of the will to live.
"The accident set off a chain of events starting with the doctors putting him on new medication for the cancer he had. He was always a fighter, but suddenly he was saying that he was not going to fight any more," Franz Wittman told Austria's Kurier, according to The Guardian. "We would have had a wonderful last time together [on vacation] but it never happened because of the accident."
Father and son were originally planning to go to Tenerife to spend time together, although those plans were cancelled following the accident.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
