-1976 914 2.0 liter -Dual two-barrel Weber 45mm down-draft carburetors -Mild cam w/ hydraulic lifters (No valve adjustments needed-hardly ever) -High-performance clutch installed with new bearings etc. -KYB Nitro Sport shocks -Brand new gell cell battery -High-pressure valve springs w/ 5800rpm rev limiter -Stainless steel exhaust -Powder coated engine tins (Yellow tins, red carbs, looks sharp) -New (Straight) rear A-arms -About 1000 miles on engine when re-worked in 2002/2003 when i left for college. It's in great driving condition! This car has been garage kept in the Texas panhandle since I bought it in 2001. I moved to and live in Illinois now but it is kept in my parents garage year round. The car is newly registered and inspected in Texas where my parents use it for weekend driving. I bought the car from Kentucky in really nice condition except that it needed some new gaskets. That prompted me to take everything apart and add the features above since I was already working on it. The interior is original as far as I can tell and needs just a little work. Other than a couple of seat tears the inside is really nice and clean. I put a lot of TLC into the car and have since moved away. I miss the car a lot but I am now raising money for an adoption so the car gets to help our family with that. My parents are not happy that I am selling their toy, but they are happy to be getting a grandchild out of the deal We took most of the maintenance out of the car. If you're new to the 914 cars, know what you're buying. The valves have to be set unless converted to hyd lifters. The factory fuel injection is very touchy and costs lots to properly maintain. Carbs take the fuss out of the fuel system with only a simple K&N filter cleaning necessary occasionally. They're great and fun cars to have and drive and seem to increase in price nicely with some minor work to get them up to snuff. This not a "parts car" but is of the factory chassis, engine, and gearbox. The car is located in the Texas Panhandle. Title is completely original and clear. I had my parents shoot a couple of videos so you an see how nice it drives. As you can see this car will make people drool when they first hear and then see it coming. (Sorry about the wind, it is the Texas panhandle.)

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche 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.
Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911
Sun, 06 Oct 2013He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.
