Porsche 914 2.0 Rare Ac Car, Custom Seats And Stereo. Great Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
|
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.

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?
Sun, 06 Oct 2013Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.
The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.
