1974 Porsche 914 with 2.0 engine

This project car that my son and I have been working on for over a year has to go because we are buying a house and need the money for the down payment.  This car is going to be a great car when done and is about 80% complete.  Check out the pictures on my website www.thewebdoc.com.  We have cleaned, and restored the interior, replaced the seats with custom designed seats.  These seats cost over $700 to have made and really dress up the car.  The steering wheel has been painstakingly restored and the instrument panel has been sanded down and painted red to add contrast.

Mechanically the car is great and starts up and drives great.  The goal was to use this as a daily driver and park my Hummer considering the price of gas is almost $4.00 a gallon.  The car handles great and has new larger tires (less that 1000 miles on new tires).  It also has the 911 style rims with New Porsche emblems on the center caps.  The carburetor has been rebuilt and adjusted.  The manifold gaskets have been also replaced.  The car has a new battery.

We customized the center console and installed 2 high output speakers as well as replaced the standard speakers in the kicker panels with better speakers.  We also updated the sound system with a brand new Pioneer stereo.

The interior was stripped out and any rust was taken care of and has been painted and sealed.   On 4/19/14 we installed new upgraded carpet with added sound proofing where possible.  Our goal was to make this car a daily driver and have been replacing all of the necessary parts to make this car solid.  We have replaced the rubber gaskets in the targa top and window edges.  The seals in the front trunk have been replaced.  One of the most important things we did was replace the seatbelts with new ones from a 928 so they are better quality.

The tires have been replaced with new wider high performance tires.  The brakes and brake fluids have been replaced, along with all of the other engine fluids.  In addition the car comes with a new master cylinder that I was planning on installing it to improve stopping power.

This car also has air conditioning and all the parts appear to be included but at this time it is not installed.  That was going to be our next project.  Both the front and back trunks are carpeted and the front one has been painted and the bottom has been treated with rubberized paint to add some sound proofing.

The hood has been recently been repainted and the Porsche crest has been added, and you can see by the picture how nice the car is going to look when the rest of the car is restored.   The body is solid but needs to be sanded and repaired prior to painting it; this will never be a show car but can be made to look great and will be a blast to drive.

This car will be a great car with a little more TLC.  If we were not buying a new house it would not be for sale.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.

Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
