This is a rare opportunity to own a unique Porsche 914 conversion. This is a solid 1974 Porsche 914 with rotary conversion. Car sounds and runs great. Car has 200hp and weighs only 2000lbs giving this car weight-to-power  ratio of 10:1! The wankel rotary 13B Street Ported engine was professionally rebuilt, installed, and tuned. Over $11k spent on this conversion. The whole car was completely strippped, rust prepped and repainted. This car was meant to be street driven as well as on the track. Very fast and powerful. Very agile as well with tight steering. KYB Shocks with 200lb springs in rear. The rotary sound coming out of the porsche muffler sounds amazing. Car feels very tight on the road as well.


This is the short list of things done to the car: 
The power comes from a Mazda rotary 13B engine that was built up by Atkins Rotary Specialists in Puyallup, WA. The engine has a street port intake and stock exhaust port. The engine produces exactly 200 hp with a Weber SP 50 side-draft carb and Racingbeat intake manifold & custom exhaust header that runs into a SS 930 muffler. The car was completely gutted and what little signs of surface rust have been sandblasted, acid treated and sealed with Metal-Loc primer. This was a Southern Nevada car so it was not rusty, and even the battery tray area was still intact. The drivers compartment and engine bay/rear suspension has been reinforced with 1.5" x .120" roll bar tubing. Then the interior/ engine bay / trunk were sprayed with epoxy bed liner. The exterior was sprayed with SEM Hot-Rod Black and Centari Spitfire Orange both in a matte finish. The bottom pan, front compartment and wheel wells are in original condition, except for the addition of a massive Afco aluminum radiator in the nose.

This is a very clean car. The interior was re-upholstered to near original. All the mechanical bushings, guides, cables, and brake components have been replaced. The transmission has been torn down and gone through, all syncros and gears are in good shape. Essentially everything to operate the car has been replaced or rebuilt with new parts.


Recent Tune-up including new spark plugs, new fuel pump, fuel regulator, fuel pressure gauge, carburetor fully rebuilt and cleaned and jetted. All new bushings in the entire shifter linkage system. Car shifts great in all gears. Steering is very tight and nice.


Car is not perfect it needs some minor things such as: Turn signals are not working although the flasher button works, possibly the switch went bad on steering column. The windshield wipers sometimes work, steering column switch probably the culprit.The horn does not work. The windshield has a couple of chips in glass. The paint is not perfect, and there are two spots that the paint flaked off (see pics). I have new weather seals for the targa top, ready to be installed.  

Title on hand. Anyone is welcomed to come see the car in person and inspect.

A $250 deposit is due within 24 hours. Car must be fully paid by CASH or Wire only and picked up within 7 days. Serious Buyers Only Please. Car is sold as-is.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.
