selling our 1974 yellow #117 Porsche 911, built to 911s specs


The car has the smoothest running 2.7 on the streets, as quoted by our local porsche specialist, Randy at Autowerks in Boulder, CO.  The Car has a lot of pluses, and some areas of focus needed.  We are selling to make room in our garage.  We have owned the car since 8/2007, and have invested over $9K into her, mostly with a complete valve job, new brakes, new master cyclinder, new battery, new shocks and struts, new exhaust, new tires, ipod stereo, VDO repair on odometer at 79,344 miles (not clear when stopped), and a long list of smaller additions.  I have very detailed records since 1987, which I have organized into a spreadsheet so you can track what has been done and when to the car.  The car runs and drives extremely well and is very fast for a 2.7.  I have a trickle charger that keeps the battery charged, however without it the battery will run down in 4 weeks of sitting.  I have not located the short, as the trickle charge works fine.  The cold start regulator was repaired and adjusted, but still makes for a tough cold start in the middle of winter, but she always starts.  I only drive the car on Fridays to work in good weather, otherwise she gets waxed and does an odd run to the store on nice weekends and is garaged year round in a climate controlled garage.  The paint is a respray of the correct 117 yellow color which I don't know when it was done, and the right front fender was repainted 8 months ago due to a leaf blower dropping on the fender in the garage (long sad story).  The color match is very impressive, however, you can notice a slight greener tint in low light conditions.  There are some dings, and some chips, some of which I show in the photo's.  The front smile needs some work as the rubber is lumpy and the bumper is well chipped with the white showing though. It is abeautiful car that always gets a lot of attention and runs and drives incredibly well.  For those of you that know the 2.7 Magnesium block engine, it does have the time certs, which is a huge plus when investing in these cars and engines.  It was rebuilt in 1987, records and details attached, to 911s specs, and the valve job done in 2008, included some intake expansion that increased the horsepower of this car immensely.  You will notice on the front photo a small dent in the chrome left headlight frame, I have since replaced this. I am happy to answer all questions and hope the photos, records, and above details help to present a very candid, and accurate description of our special car.  Buyer pays shipment, and delivery from our garage to destination.

  • Rear window seals need replacing
  • Sunroof motor works, but needs new gears as it grinds
  • Interior headliner should be replaced and has a tear near the sunroof motor zipper
  • the map pockets on the doors are included but have been removed.
  • The clock does not work
  • Missing a glove box latch
  • Original dashboard, with 3 cracks (see photo)
  • Custom built speaker grill, have original included, but needs replacing
  • right door panel small dents
  • right rear quarter panel, right front quarter, small chips in hood, crack in left rear quarter
  • 2 small oil drips, noted in photo, very small and only after driving when oil is thinned out.
  • some rust under front hood by spare tire

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...
