Porsche, renowned for its legendary 911, has a rich history of crafting diverse models, including accessible entry-level options for enthusiasts aspiring to own a piece of the brand's heritage. In the 1960s, this ethos gave birth to the Porsche 914, a collaboration with Volkswagen and a brainchild of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of the founder. The 914, with its innovative design and approachable performance, was a resounding success, amassing over 118,000 units from 1969 to 1976. Among these is the 1973 Porsche 914 Targa, a splendid representation of the model, boasting 73,000 miles since its inception. Let's delve into the finer details of this classic.
The 1973 Porsche 914 Targa is a proud bearer of the Porsche legacy. Clad in a vibrant red, it sits elegantly on period-correct alloy wheels, and features the iconic pop-up headlights that define the 914 lineage. Notable design elements include the elongated tail and the distinctive rear light connecting strip, all underlining Porsche's design philosophy. The contrasting black targa top offers a versatile driving experience, smoothly transitioning from a hardtop to a convertible. Inside, the two-seater cockpit of this 914 Targa is both snug and functional, characterized by a classic three-dial instrument cluster displaying road speed, engine revs, and fuel level. The central console is equipped with additional gauges for battery voltage, oil pressure, and cylinder head temperature. Modern touches include a Sony Xplod head unit with USB, AUX, and FM radio capabilities. Practicality is surprisingly ample for a vehicle of its size, with a front trunk (or 'frunk') housing the spare wheel, and a rear trunk behind the engine compartment, offering sufficient space for essential luggage on extended journeys.
Under the rear deck of this 1973 Porsche 914 Targa lies a spirited 1.7L flat-four engine, a nod to its Volkswagen heritage. Its mid-rear placement optimizes the car's handling dynamics, benefiting from an air-cooled design. Recent upgrades include new carburetors, enhancing its performance. The vehicle's driving experience is further refined by its front and rear disc brakes, MacPherson strut front suspension, and an independent rear suspension equipped with stabilizer bars. This configuration promises a thrilling and engaging drive, making this 914 Targa a delight on winding roads.

The Porsche 914 was a joint Porsche-Volkswagen project to grant both automakers an affordable, entry-level sports car to add to their line-ups. The new model would hit the market in 1969 and be produced until 1976. In 1970, Motor Trend voted it their Import Car Of The Year. This particular 1976 Porsche 914 comes from the last year of production and bears just 40,000 reportedly original miles since new. The current owner is said to have had the car for approximately five years. There's also said to be some original documentation available, as well as the owner's manual and books.
The Porsche 914 debuted in 1969 as a compact entry-level sports car for Porsche, who needed to replace the ageing 912. The 914 was well-received by the motoring public, despite some questioning as to whether it was a proper Porsche, largely due to some Volkswagen connections. That question has long since been put to rest, and you can find out for yourself with the purchase of this 1974 Porsche 914. Bearing 69,300 miles on the clock, here is a classic car that you can enjoy as well as consider a smart investment for the future. Read on to discover all you need to know about this 914.
The Porsche 911 is an icon in itself. From its style, layout, and performance all have undeniably been not far from its roots which is why the 911 is as revered and desirable. Initially introduced in 1963 as an air-cooled sports car, the Porsche 911 has evolved to match the modern world but still retains its uniqueness. The previous generation of Porsche 911 was produced from 2011 to 2019 and featured a completely new platform. Porsche 911s are known for being beasts on their own, but with a few refinements and upgrades as with this 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera S, the car can zip through a track in no time.
The Porsche 911 is a different kind of sports car. Each generation is an evolution of the last, with all generations feeling wonderfully advanced while remaining faithful to an original recipe. The 997 generation of 911 is already gaining appreciation as one of the best modern iterations of Posrche’s rear-engined formula. And there are few cars that do it better than this 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo. Add the “Turbo” tag to the end of any 911 and things start to get a whole lot more serious — you could say it’s a point where the 911 jumps out of the traditional sports car category and edges towards supercar territory. The 997.1 offered for sale here has 73,876 miles on the clock and features some choice factory options, as well as a few subtle upgrades to make it a very attractive package waiting for its next owner.
If you’re in the market for a sports car, look no further than the ultimate blend of street and track performance: the 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera. This car features a combination of a timeless design, rapid acceleration, and advanced technology, and Porsche delivers on every level, setting the standard for the sports car market, from the best rear-mounted flat-six engines to PASM and dynamic lighting systems. With just 46,150 miles on the odometer, this Porsche Carrera has been meticulously maintained to offer a driving experience like no other.
When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
