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.
An iconic design, convertible top down and a sunset drive - sounds like a dream? Well we have what it takes to make all that a reality. Present today is this lovely 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, it's a true blast from the past and has a reported 105,165 miles on the clock making it a survivor that's in excellent shape and the perfect way to experience sports car ownership without breaking the bank.
Few sports cars have had such an impact on the world as the Porsche 911. When it was showcased in 1964, the public were highly interested in this distinctive teardrop-shaped automobile. Then, they learned of its powertrain; an air-cooled flat-six mounted in the car’s tail, and of course, driving the rear wheels. This was quite a departure from traditional front-engined layouts. In fact, Porsche 911 development had started way earlier, in 1959, and it was envisioned to take over from the company’s 356 model. However, such was the 911’s impact that it created its own legacy, and one that continues to this day. Over the years, the 911 gained more creature comforts, convertible variants, and fearsome turbocharged engine options. The car’s exterior design saw modernization, but the overall teardrop shape remained. However, the engines remained air cooled until 1998, when tightening emissions regulations and demands for more power dictated that water cooling was the way to go. Thus, a sort of line was drawn; if you want a proper classic 911, go for pre-1998 cars. If you want more modern examples, post-1998 is where you should seek them out. Therefore, this South Carolina-based 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet is definitely a classic. However, it should be enjoyed rather than mothballed, and its current mileage of 80,948 tells you that it’s meant for the open road rather than stowed away in climate-controlled garages.
The Porsche 911 started out in 1964 with an air-cooled engine and a fun-to-drive demeanor. Then, turbo models and special editions came, and Porsche had created a legacy. Over the past many decades, the 911 has grown, evolved and become more sporty and luxurious. Its engine switched to water cooling in 1998, but has always remained in the tail of the car, slung out behind the rear axle. This makes for some entertaining handling characteristics for keen drivers to exploit. Today, we’ve got a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from the 997 generation up for sale with just 63,500 miles on the clock. The 997 generation was made between 2004 and 2013, and is considered to be an excellent place to start if you’re searching for your first 911 but don’t want to buy brand-new. This Phoenix-located car also comes with all servicing up to date.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
One of the finest ways to get yourself wrapped in the world of classic cars is to buy a first-generation Ford Mustang. After all, what better way to experience this fascinating world of motoring than with an American icon, a segment starter, and a show stopper? The first generation Mustang was made from late 1964 all the way up to 1973. It saw many updates along the way, and in total, well over 2.5 million units were made. So, may we present this 1970 Ford Mustang Hardtop from Pueblo, Colorado, for your consideration? It’s a hardtop variant and has recently undergone restoration, making it a classic that you can buy and drive to your heart's content.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that. With massive production numbers, standing out in the world of peace, love and happiness was truly a task. Present today is a Volkswagen Beetle that is out of the ordinary and takes shape with this lovely 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Champagne edition. With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
