940-1-y_edited.jpg

The Porsche you are looking at is probably one of the most modified 914's I've yet to see. There has been an incredible amount of money invested (well over $25,000) in this car and it shows. With a 400hp Chevy small block this car is incredibly fast to say the least, but with the suspension upgrades and Porsche's mid engine design, it still handles like a car that belongs on the track. Listed below is a partial list of upgrades done to this vehicle.

Body/ Chassis
This particular car stated as a very little rust vehicle. The only rust visible anywhere is a tiny bit in the rear of the trunk, the battery tray (has been removed for more room in engine compartment and battery mounted in trunk). From here the chassis received a stiffening kit and then a Reddawg Racing 940 body kit which is made from fiberglass and included new rear bumper, 930 style quarter panels, slant nose front fenders and a 993 style front bumper was installed. The car also has fiberglass front and rear hoods to further reduce its weight. The car was then finished off in the Mazda mp3 color yellow paint job.

Motor/ Exhaust/ Cooling
The small block in this car has less than 5000 miles since complete rebuild. It is very streetable for day to day driving. This motor produces horse power from 2500 rpms all the way to 6500. This car can sit in traffic all day in 90 degree weather without the worry of over heating.(Thanks to Reddawg Racings cooling system). Below is a partial list of parts used in engine. 4 bolt main, Bored to 355, 11 to 1 forged pistons, 2.02 ported steel heads which brings compression down to a very streetable 10 to 1 or so Hydraulic Comp cam (2500 to 6500 rpm), Performer RPM intake, Demon 750 carb (electric choke), DUI custom curved electronic ignition distributor, Fluidine Dampener, Morosso oil pan, Holly Electric Fuel pump, Stainless Braided fuel line from tank to carb And Fuel pressure gauge.
Headers running to dual stainless canister style mufflers
Coolant lines running through rocker panels (no worry about hitting them on speed bumps)
Griffin 3 core aluminum radiator with adjustable thermostat electric fan
Transmission/ Clutch
The 915 tranny 915 (with a factory locker) It was rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago with all new bearings, gears and syncros and switched ring and pinion for use in a mid engine car(at a cost of around $2000!). The car shifts far better than any 914 I've felt (as well as many 911's!) as it recently had about $1000 put into custom fabrication.(By Reddawg Racing) The clutch has less than 2000 miles. The adapter plate/ v8 conversion came from Reddawg Racing.

If you see me on the road, This is what you'll see!

Interior
Inside this car is a very clean black and grey interior. The carpet is fairly new and the seats are very clean only with very minor tears in the bolster of the seats. There is a Momo steering wheel and Automotion leather shift knob/ boot combo. The car has stock gauges with the exception of the tach, which is a 911 Turbo unit which was modified to show oil pressure instead of boost. The dash, door panels etc. are also very clean. There is a three point roll bar (made by Reddawg) which mounts to the floor in 3 places and also the upper seat belt mounting bolts. All in all the interior is in incredible condition even for a fairly new car let alone a car from the early 70's

Suspension/ Brakes/ Wheels
The suspension, brakes and wheels are truly ready for a car with this kind of power. Although though a little overkill by some, I personally wouldn't want anything less. Listed below is a list of what has been used to make this car. Bilstein shocks front and rear (cir-clip height adjustable in back) 21 or 22mm front torsion (don't quite remember) 180lb Weltmeister rear springs Weltmeister front and rear anti-sway bars Racing dual master cylinder set up 4 piston Brembo brakes front and rear. Stainless braided brake lines.
17x8, 17x9 C2 wheels (aftermarket) Painted black,Pirelli P7000 225 45zr 17, 275 40zr 17 (about 75 to 80% tread)
