1974 Porsche 914

1974 PORSCHE 914 2.0 VIN: 4742905910 83,613 Miles No matter how you slice it, the 914 is an air-cooled experience that everyone should have a chance to savor. Theres no replacement for the feel of a 914, no matter the model. Its mid-engine configuration and low stature bonds car and driver to the road for a spirited ride, especially in the esses. An increasingly wide grin will max out at your ears as the short-shifting gearbox encourages high revs going into third and fourth gears. - Hagerty. Presented here is one of the nicest Porsche 914s currently available for sale. This vehicle was subject to a complete and caring $60,000 rotisserie restoration, plus a full mechanical restoration with upgrades. The engine was completely rebuilt and modified by Rimco of Orange, California and now generates a dyno tested 154 horsepower and 174 ft. lbs. of torque - versus the original motors 91 horsepower and 105 ft. lbs. of torque. The end result of these improvements is an outstanding looking car with significantly more power than a stock 914. The car is a striking guards orange with custom matching orange plaid seats. The underside of the vehicle is as clean as the topside. It sports a 5-speed manual transmission and disc brakes, both of which were fairly rare in the early 1970s. Its pop-up headlights are always an attention getter and the removable roof makes for fun driving on sunny, warm days. A Momo steering wheel, and a Pioneer audio unit with Sirius and Alpine 6.5 Coax Series speakers have been added. The current owner, a Southeast Michigan PCA member, purchased the car in 2022 from another local PCA member. Recent service includes a new fuel pump, fuel pressure gauge, relay board and cover, alternator and pulley, brake master cylinder, rear wheel bearings, shock absorbers, starter, a complete interior kit, various cables and seals, valve cover gasket and rear wiring harness. The car comes with the original steering wheel, car cover and numerous extra parts. Extensive service records and two owners manuals are included. This car is a gem, cosmetically and mechanically. It is a blast to drive and a real attention getter. There are cheaper ones for sale, but not better ones.
