For Sale: 1974 Porsche 914
Hate to do it, but I’ve decided to sell my car mainly due to lack of interest. I simply can’t dedicate the time, effort and (most important) money into this car/project anymore. I’d really like to keep it, drive it… but I have to draw the line at some point and we just have too many other commitments. A bit of History: I’ve owned this car for about ten years and it has always been garaged. FWIW, I have previous owner records to prove this car was originally from Arizona so it has VERY little rust. Here’s a list of items I’ve done during the time I’ve owned the car: No particular order: • Rebuilt the 2.0 liter stock motor to a 2270 with a Raby kit. Jenvey TB’s and SDS EFI. With Tangerine Racing Exhaust. • While motor was out, I had both trunks and engine bay Rhino lined. • Replaced all four brake rotors, calipers, pads with PMB Performance parts and ATE Superblue Brake Fluid. • 5 Lug upgrade and 16” Phone Dial wheels. • Stripped interior and lined with Por-15 • Cleaned and reconditioned the fuel tank with Por-15 • Updated fuse panel • Aluminum pedal board • Swepco 201 gear lube Current State of Car: After I built the 2270 kit I started collecting parts to build a big turbo motor, 2576 to be exact. After about 3-4 years I had all the parts acquired but did not have the time to assemble so I solicited the expertise of Mark of Original Customs to build the beast. Here is a list of components that make up the build: • Custom machined/clearance GA case. Clearance work done by Jake at Aircooled Technology. • TDC (Thermal Displacement Coating) Engine case. • Rotating assembly balanced by Jake at Aircooled Technology • DPR 82mm Crank • 9540 Cam • Revmaster 38mm oil pump, full flow • 100mm Turbo Nickies • JE 100mm Piston, dished and coated • 5.5” Type 1 H-Beam Rods • Pauter Roller Rockers • ChroMoly Pushrods • Custom Billet Taco Plate • DTM • Garrett T3/T4 Ball-Bearing Turbo, TDC coated • TurboSmart BOV • TurboSmart Boost Tee • Tial Wastegate • Turbo prep’d LE 200 Heads • Custom Exhaust, Tangerine Racing • Custom intake plenums, M-Spec Racing • Custom Fuel Rails, Extrudabody • SDS EFI • 70mm Ford Throttle body • Kennedy Stage II clutch with six puck pressure plate • Custom surround tin, Original Customs • Setrab oil cooler with fan • Motor build complete in July of 2012 • Install complete in August of 2013 The car is an absolute blast to drive! What’s left to do: While I had no plans of racing the car, it was destined to be my daily driver. So I had plans of installing a water/meth intake injection system to keep the intake temps in check. The car is drivable without this system in place due to the cooler weather we have around here but I wouldn’t push it until some sort of intake cooling system is in place. Like I said… daily driver. I know that I will never get the amount I put into this car but we all know we are not in the hobby to make money, right. Just the turbo motor alone, in parts, I’ve spent at least $15,000. So, I’d like to sell the whole package for Thanks for looking. Pictures of the motor build can be found here, http://www.originalcustoms.com/invoice/images.php?p=143. EDIT: Mark @ Original Customs has offered a discount to the buyer. See his post here. -Rob Attached image(s) |
