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.
Arctic Blue is a lovely color when applied to an iconic car like this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa. It’s reminiscent of an Arctic Sky when the sun is low down in the sky, but not setting. The color is said to be an Audi shade. Then, of course, you have the pop-up headlamps, stylish alloy wheels and truncated rear design to enjoy. The car comes in at just 157 inches long, which is shorter than a modern subcompact crossover. Hence, you can easily dart about with ease, and place the car superbly well on narrow winding roads, which are its natural habitat, after all. The two-seat interior of this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa has been stripped out a bit, in the name of lightness and performance. There’s no air conditioning anymore, for example. Then, there’s a set of aftermarket racing bucket seats, but the original seats are available too. The current owner says that they need re-upholstering. Mercifully, a radio remains, and it’s a Kenwood unit with CD, USB and AUX playback avenues. So, you can pump up your jam of choice while driving down your favorite road. And of course, since it’s a Targa, you’ve got a removable roof panel for open-air drives. Suddenly, the lack of air conditioning becomes far less relevant.
Packing a 1.8L flat-four behind the passenger cabin, we’re told that the engine of this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa has been bored out to nearly 2.0L. That’s not all; it’s running Dellorto racing carburetors in place of the original Bosch fuel injection system for even more pep. Driving the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission, you’ll enjoy every moment with this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa.

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.
Owning a Porsche 911 is a dream for many, especially one of the classic air-cooled variants. Introduced in September 1964, few sports cars have had such an impact as the Porsche 911. Its iconic teardrop shape and rear-mounted engine continue even in 2025. Initially sporting a naturally aspirated engine, Porsche started slapping on a turbo at the factory in 1975. The 930 generation was the first to have forced induction, and these are fearsome cars that really test the mettle of a driver. So, if you’re up for a challenge, we’ve got a 16,025-mile 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo for sale with Porsche-certified authenticity, a host of new parts, and all documentation from a Porsche mechanic as reported by the current owner. Living in Fairfield, California, this car is not one for the meek or weak. Treat it right, and it will give you unmatched driving pleasure.

It encompasses the formula they mastered over 60 years ago, and if anything, it’s gotten better with time.

Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
