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.

Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.

These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years

Thu, Nov 19 2020

The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles Â— and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount Â— the least amount of money lost after five years Â— indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
