1974 Porsche 914 Base 1.8l on 2040-cars
Renton, Washington, United States
This is a 1974 Porsche with a 1.7 engine.
The engine has recently been re-built, mildly warmed over breathing through dual Dell's. It runs and shifts quite smoothly The engine has ~9,100 miles since the rebuild; enough to know it was done properly but not nearly enough to be ready for another rebuild. Unlike most folks on CL, I can truly say those are mostly highway miles. In the past year I have driven this car up Pikes Peak, down to Oklahoma, to Ohio, then out to Washington; with a few other trips in between. The 914 has been perfectly reliable through all of this. If you're looking for a reliable car that you can hop in tomorrow and go to Florida, this is it. Included with the car is a logbook with every fill-up, oil change, maintenance item, etc.. Since the first start-up of the rebuilt engine. This is an Oklahoma car, no rust. The paint is presentable, but it's not a show car either. As would be expected to make a car this old extremely reliable, it's had a lot of new parts put on it. Essentially every important piece of rubber has been replaced. All parts installed in 9100 miles, most of them in the past year. Some of the ones I remember: -New tires, still look really nice. -New BMW 320i front calipers -Rebuilt Rear calipers -New Tranny input seal -New 1st gear syncro -New rear wheel bearings -New Clutch disc And many more things I can't think of right now. Needs: Flashing light that comes on with parking brake no longer works. Wipers don't work. Please give me a call with any questions: 405-714-8703 |

Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
RM Sotheby's Turbollection features exotics from the '80s and '90s
Wed, Aug 14 2024If you have even a passing interest in cars, there's little doubt you know a thing or two about Porsche, whether the topic centers around a classic name like 911 or the more mainstream Cayenne and Macan crossovers. Bugatti? Sure, most people know about the historic French builder of world-class, record-setting automobiles, though admittedly the EB110 we're about to show you probably wouldn't be the first to come to mind. Fewer are likely familiar with the likes of Vector Aeromotive, a tiny American company with history that dates back to the 1980s. And we'd wager that most have never even heard of the likes of Isdera and Cizeta. Brush up on your history, (super wealthy car collecting) folks. RM Sotheby's has an exciting array of cars coming up for auction during the Monterey Car Week festivities on California. Among all the expected Ferrari, Lamborghini and Shelby classics potential buyers can wade through, the so-called Turbollection collection features much rarer oddities.
Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
