1974 Porsche 914 2.0 Can Am Le Bumblebee on 2040-cars
Year:1974
Mileage:30472
Location:
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
Nice solid 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 with the somewhat rare Can Am LE option. These came in two color schemes and the black/yellow cars are sometimes referred to as "Bumblebees". My car started out life with the factory painted yellow bumpers, wheels and rocker panels but they were changed to the regular 914 chrome bumpers and forged 914 Fuchs rims at some point in the car's life. These could easily be changed back to make the car its original color scheme. It retains its original LE front spoiler.
Please read the entire description before asking questions. I've called PCNA to get the build info but have not ordered the COA yet. I can confirm with a potential buyer that the car came equipped as follows; C02 USA equip 002 USA lights 568 tinted side windows 778 Can Am LE option Car was serviced and maintained by AASE in Fullerton through two previous owners. They dug up records for a trans rebuild and clutch job several years ago but car has been used as a weekend track/AX car for over 20 years, so not many miles. Drives and shifts exceptionally well. It has its original FI but engine case is a factory replacement with no #s. It is a correct, stock 1974 2.0, though, and it runs strong and smooth with no smoke or other signs of wear. The stock seats are gone and racing seats sit on stock rails and adjustments. Dashboard is very clean and all stock functions work as they should including heat/ventilation/aux. fans and all lights and signals+horn. It is in extremely solid mechanical condition. The car sits on Kumho DOT slicks that have a lot of rubber left and are surprisingly still soft. It has 5 factory 914 forged Fuchs rims. Pagid racing pads are currently installed and the car stops *right now* but they are squeaky on the street. Konis all around and stiffer rear springs but I don't know how many lbs. they are. Additional chassis bracing welded from rear suspension points to rear tub under car. These could be removed in a restoration fairly easily. Aftermarket front sway bar with adjustments. Car has been resprayed at some point but in original black. Plenty of stone chips on hood and scratches, etc. Rear trunk hinge bracket has broken loose but new one just arrived from UPS yesterday. Common 914 issue and simple weld fix. Factory gaps are good with the exception of right rear fender which is excessive. I do not know the nature of the repair because it was before my ownership. I've shown this in one of the photos. Both front and rear panels show no evidence of ever being hit or repaired. Car still has old racing numbers and graphics. The odometer is not working and I do not know how many miles it has but the mechanic who serviced the car for years recalls it being fairly low mileage. All other gauges and controls work properly. My plan was to restore this car to stock condition but other projects are taking priority. It's a blast to drive as-is but a little stiff on the street. The engine was rebuilt or replaced at some point with the factory replacement case and it does not leak a drop. It runs very strong like a 2.0 should. SSI stainless heat exchangers are installed and heat works fantastic. All stock and original fuel injection is present and the car runs great. The body is very solid and mostly rust-free, the only exceptions that have been found are in the sheet metal behind rocker under left side jack point. The jack point itself is completely solid and all other parts of the longitudinal part of the tub are excellent, including the passenger side which is mint. The hell hole under the battery has been patched/repaired in the past but it's a very nice job. The floors/trunk and other rust-prone areas all look great. This is a 40 year old car being sold as-is with no warranties either expressed or implied and in-person physical inspections are welcomed and strongly encouraged. I'd be happy to drive the car to any reputable Porsche shop in the Los Angeles metropolitan area for a PPI. It is currently registered with tabs for 2014 and has a clean CA. title in my name. It's an excellent restoration candidate or a fun weekend canyon/track toy as it is. Thanks you for looking and please use the eBay message feature to contact me and get phone number. On Jan-27-14 at 11:30:44 PST, seller added the following information: EDIT: Couple of things I forgot; the car has a Bursch muffler, the graphics are stickers and can be removed with a blow dryer and some adhesive remover but they've been on for a while so slight PIA. With two days left, it has 83 watchers but no one has asked to actually see it or inspect it. I've made my listing as accurate as possible but it's an old car and physical inspections before the end of the auction are strongly encouraged. Not afterwards. Please feel free to call me @ (323) 972-3801 from 8am to 10pm Pacific time to arrange test drives and inspections. Thanks. |

Porsche 918 Spyder roars electric through London
Sun, Jun 29 2014The Porsche 918 Spyder can be an object of lust for anyone who appreciates the finer things in the automotive world, but for us greenies with penchant for speed, the car is an icon. This gorgeous, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid offers 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, can do 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of 214 miles per hour. It lapped the Nurburgring in a record 6:57. Still, it is capable of near-silent, relaxed cruising through one of Europe's busiest cities. In a new video from Porsche, chief driving instructor Gordon Robertson takes the 918 to London and does just that. While driving in E-Power mode, he describes some of the things that make the car special, as well as how the technology has developed through the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 919 LMP1 car to eventually be passed onto the Panamera S E-Hybrid. If you're interested, you can learn more about the car in our own drive review, here. It's great to see, for the first time, the 918 Spyder driving alongside London's black cabs and double-decker buses. The rubbernecking from pedestrians is noticeable and completely understandable. I'm sure we'd all love to see this car come silently sneaking down our own city streets, but until Porsche makes that happen, you'll just have to enjoy the video below.
