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.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
