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

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

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.
