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.
This 1974 Porsche 914 bears its original Signal Green color, albeit having been repainted approximately fifteen years ago as per the current owner. There's also a leather front clip cover or bra to protect the front end from stone chips while traveling at higher speeds. You'll also notice the distinctive pop-up headlamps that give the car its characteristic frontal appearance. It looks like a Porsche, and not like one at the same time. Moving to the side grants us a great view of its compact and low stance, with black wheels that sit neatly within the arches at the rear. After all, the 914 is less than 157 inches long and stands less than 49 inches tall. The rear sports a distinctive lamp cluster that's suitably different from the 911, as well as an exposed exhaust muffler. The current owner discloses that the car needs a new trunk latch but assures that the current one is operational. There also appears to be some surface rust in the door sills and near the rear bumper, but that's easily fixable by a competent body shop. Inside, there's a compact cabin for two occupants to travel within, resting on black leather seats. You've got a clear and neat Porsche instrument cluster with the signature central tachometer, as well as some auxiliary gauges in the center console. There's also a ventilation system and period Blaupunkt push button radio in the dash. Gaze upwards, and you'll find a tinted sunroof. We also spot a button for the windshield defroster. That's it, really. No modern fripperies, voice controls, or smartphone integrations with this car. You've got to go back to your roots and embrace driving sans social media connectivity at your fingertips.
This 1974 Porsche 914 sports a 2.0L flat four behind the passenger cabin. The current owner reports that a swap to Weber dual carburetors has been performed. The drive is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, further allowing you to embrace the joy of driving this 2,000-pound sports car.
The Porsche 914 is a Porsche after all, but a Porsche with a difference. Unlike the iconic, teardrop-shaped 911, the 914 had a more angular design, pop-up headlamps, and a mid-engined configuration. Aimed at occupying a space beneath the 911, the 914 would serve as an introductory Porsche. Co-developed with Volkswagen, the 914 would see nearly 119,000 examples made between 1969 and 1976. This particular 1974 Porsche 914 Targa comes to you with some enhancements, allowing it to offer an even more engaging driving experience. So grab it while you can, and use it as a detox tool to free your mind on the weekends.
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 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.
Porsche’s first SUV, the Cayenne was introduced in 2002. The Cayenne quickly gained a reputation as a luxury SUV that offered Porsche’s signature driving experience, making it the most family-friendly car that the Stuttgart automaker offered at the time. Mind you, this was before the Panamera, when Porsche’s only other models were the 911 and Boxster. Now, the Cayenne is on the third generation, and continues to be a best-seller for Porsche. So, if you want a Porsche that can easily be reckoned with as your sole family vehicle, check out this 46,000-mile 2020 Porsche Cayenne S from our inventory. It’s got a punchy V6 under the hood, plenty of tech features, and is a sharp looker too.
The Porsche 911 is on nearly every automotive enthusiast’s bucket list. This iconic rear-engined rear-wheel drive sports car was introduced by German automaker Porsche in September 1964. Its unconventional drivetrain layout and air-cooled engine quickly gained it a cult following. Throughout its life, the 911 has retained its iconic teardrop silhouette and rear-mounted engine, although that switched to a water-cooled unit in 1998. So, if you’re on the hunt for a Porsche 911 from a relatively modern era, consider this 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Coming from the 991 generation, this car has seen a healthy 73,000+ miles in its life so far, which is a testament to how enjoyable it is to own and drive. The car comes with up-to-date servicing as well, showcasing that it’s been cared for in the appropriate manner, making it a great buy. Two keys are included in the sale.
Porsche’s 911 may be the German automaker’s signature product, but it was far from their sole one. Over the years, Porsche dabbled (and continues to dabble) in other models too. The 928 was one of these. Produced between 1977 and 1995, it was a front-engined V8 grand tourer. The 928 received the European Car Of The Year award in 1978, and was highly praised by the automotive press at the time. That’s why you shouldn’t miss out on getting your hands on this 1986 Porsche 928 S, with just 76,500 miles under its belt. It’s an excellent modern classic to own and drive.
Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves. Therefore, we can fulfill one person’s dream, by offering this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. With a reported 18,559 original miles, this car is truly a rare fish to catch.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
