Porsche 914 Clasic Sports Car on 2040-cars
Bryan, Texas, United States
1976 Porsche 914 2.0L 68,661 miles w/Air Conditioning
You are bidding on a 1976 Porsche 914. This is a great car and with very rare working A/C. The car has been driven very little since the early 90's but was run in its garage regularly. The engine runs great and has the usual seepage oil leaks but no dripping oil and is very clean burning with no smoke. The transmission shifts perfect and clutch works perfect. There is a little leak from the speedometer drive on the transmission but fluid is clean and full. The suspension, shocks, bushings, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc are in good condition with nothing loose or worn. Brakes are good but squeak a little on slow breaking. I suspect from rust on the rotors from not been driven very much. The interior is almost perfect and certainly for its age is in very good condition. There is one small crack on the top of the instrument cluster housing and the dash has no cracks. There are a couple of nicks in the seats and center pad which are shown in the pictures. Door panels are perfect. Carpet is in good condition. You can see from the pictures the overall condition of the interior is excellent. The top and door seals are very good except the passenger side seal from the top down to the door. Pictured. Anybody that knows these cars always checks the battery tray and the subsequent rust trail from the battery tray to the back corner of the passenger seat. On this car it is very clean and no rust is evident. I took a couple of pictures to show this. Both trunks are perfect and look like they just come off the showroom floor. Now the body!!!. The body and chassis on this car are rust free. The bumpers are in great shape but need a little buffing to get the shine back. The overall look of the car as you can see in the pictures is almost perfect. But there are a couple of flaws. A shopping cart dent below the mirror on the left door and one below the door handle on the right side. With its color you have to be close and with the correct light angle to see them. Also the front hood has had a repaint at sometime in its life and it was not done very well. Again with the correct light and angle there is some trash and sanding lines that can be seen. It may be able to be buffed out??? From the pictures you can not see them so I mention it here. Overall this car has a great look and presents its self very well but will require a TLC on the cosmetics to be a perfect car !!! I work very hard to present my cars as best as possible and my customers have been very happy with their purchases so if you have any questions please ask them before you bid and keep my rating at 100% positive !!!

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices
Fri, Nov 21 2014"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.
