1975 Porsche 914 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Middletown, California, United States
|
This is an original California car with no rust issues that I am aware of. I have tried to include pictures of all areas of the vehicle and especially those that usually are rust prone in 914s.
Engine has been modified with a 912 case, stock heat exchangers(not stainless steel) with a tubular header with muffler attached. This is the exhaust system and the cabin itself is not heated. The original heat exchangers were removed for weight and power savings as vehicle was modified for speed. Lines are straight and additions include a mild performance cam, counterbalanced crank shaft, aluminum rods, performance pistons, solid lifters, and dual 40 Weber carbs. Interior is in good condition -classic sports steering wheel has great feel , carpets are new, windshield is new and all glass is tinted. Electronic ignition is new. Dash has one or two minor cracks and a CD player has been added. All electronics seem to be functioning fine. Battery tray has been removed and battery relocated to rear trunk for better weight distribution and room in the engine bay. Engine bay, rear and front trunk storage areas and undercarriage have been coated with a protective spray (similar to truck bed liner material).Custom carpet panels and carpeted battery box. Front brakes are upgraded BMW 320i and rear brakes have been rebuilt(new standard rotors and pads all around) Transmission is smooth and all linkage bushings have been replaced. Car came with two vintage 911 seats which we have replaced with new Corbeau bucket sport seats for a better fit. The two 911 seats are included in this sale. One seat has a slight tear in seat area. Paint near the doors had several bubbles which we sanded and tried to repaint but the paint company sent us wrong color so those small areas are a lighter than the rest of the car. I have tried to show it in the photos but it's not very noticeable. |

eBay Find of the Day: Your choice of new, unregistered mid-2000s supercars
Wed, 26 Dec 2012If you didn't quite find what you were hoping to see under the tree this year, maybe it's about time you buy yourself something nice. Something like an unregistered 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car has never been titled and has just 83 miles on the odometer. With one owner since new, the Carrera GT is likely to be as nice an example as you're likely to find outside of a museum. Porsche only built 340 of these machines back in 2005, and with a 610 horsepower V10 kicking at your spine, you can lap Santa's sleigh next year. Currently, the Carrera GT has a buy it now price of $457,325 with around six days left on the auction.
Not flashy enough for your tastes? Stroll on down to West Hollywood and you'll find a similarly untitled 2004 Ferrari Enzo up for grabs with a sticker of $1.8 million. Technically a Euro-spec car, the Enzo isn't legal to operate on US roads, but could be modified to satisfy Uncle Sam with a little effort. The seller calls this car the "last brand-new Enzo in existence" and with 175 miles on the clock, that may be a true statement. You can head over to eBay Motors for a closer look if you're feeling spendy.
1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
