this is your chance to get a nice, solid 914 for cheap if you are willing to do a little work, this car is being re-listed because of a buyer who bid it up higher than it was worth and has now decided not to pay for it. The car has a 2.0 liter engine with 36 mm exhaust and 42 mm intake valves, it last ran about a year ago and has about 200 miles on it. The motor also has a hydraulic cam and lifters, and 40 mm Brosol carbs with electric chokes, the engine had a 009 distributor but now has a stock one which needs to be timed and wired. The fuel pump is new and needs to be wired. The starter is new.


The transmission is a late model side shift type, it shifts nicely sitting there but I have never had it in a running car so can't say for sure it is good, I do have an extra transmission I will include if need be. The front brakes have been rebuilt and the master cylinder is a new 911 type, the rear brakes need to be reassembled and installed. The parking brake handle is from a late model car. The tires are all good but are not matched or balanced. The rear shocks are gas KYBs, all the wheel bearings and other suspension/steering  parts are good and the tie rod ends are new. The electrics work for the most part though the turn signal and ignition switches need attention and the electric part of the ignition switch needs to be replaced. The radio is junk and there are no speakers. The right tail light has some sun cracks.

The carpet is new, the weatherstrips and seals are all good except for the front trunk bulkhead seal and the front targa seal are not perfect. The seats and rear bolster have some flaws but are usable. The paint has some runs on both sides, the runs on the driver's side are not too bad and should color sand and buff out, the ones on the passenger side front and rear fenders may need to be re-shot. The body is solid with no rust in the trunks, doors, floorpans, sail panels, rockers or engine compartment. This car has not been on the road in over a decade, and I have owned it for the last seven years. the passenger seat has been upgraded to the movable late model type. 

The motor has a different exhaust system on it than is shown in the out-of-car photo, the stock exchangers are in excellent condition and the muffler and collector is new. the doors are the late model type with better regulators and safety beams. I have a car trailer I can loan to move the car. Please do not bid on this car if you don't want to buy it or if you don't have the money to pay for it, thanks for looking!

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.

Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
