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.
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 911 is this German automaker’s best-known greatest hit. But did you know that Porsche also had a string of other models as well? These include the 914, 924, 944, and in 1991, the 968. The 968 was the successor to the 944, and like its predecessor, used a front-mounted, watercooled engine. Like the 944, the 968 was designed to sit beneath the 911, acting as a sort of entry-level model. This particular 1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet comes to you with 116,000 miles, showcasing the fact that it’s a very enjoyable car to drive. The current owner reports having the car for approximately three to four years. Would you like to be its next owner?
Porsche has taken the 911 to amazing heights over the years and there are now seemingly endless variations on the 911 theme. One of our favorites is the 992 generation, which holds the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S model. If you are in the market for one packed to the brim with options, you have come to the right place. This example only has 18200 miles on its clock and is located in California. It is up for sale by its original owner and is available with two keys and the window sticker.
There may be more race-ready 911s that you can buy, but the Porsche 911 Turbo S is still the top dog. The 911 lineup now consists of more than 20 variants. Its equal parts brutality, simplicity, and rocketry allow you to leap off the line no matter where you are with maximum effect. This 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S is ready to provide you with a spectacular driving experience, just like it did for the previously covered 27,150 miles. The current owner states that this 911 comes with its window sticker and two keys. This Turbo S will take whatever you can throw at it, and then some.
The Oldsmobile 98 is a definitive classic car with several inherent vintage attributes. It used to be the flagship model of Oldsmobile for a long period, from 1940 to 1996.

This particular 1969 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible has been reworked extensively and enhanced with a plethora of upgraded components. The car now sports a host of modern underpinnings, making it a mechanical restomod with graceful old-school charm. With 85,450 reported miles on the odometer, this fancy Oldsmobile is a desirable classic gem.
Would you like a first-gen Camaro with a bit of spice under the hood? Granted, GM did endow the Camaro with plenty of spiciness when it debuted, thanks to some potent V8 engines and handling packages. But, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is different. You see, it’s a sort of restomod that’s been built to go faster than a stock first-gen Camaro ever did from the factory. So, would you like to own something that’s quite unique, and probably one of a kind in terms of specifications and enhancements? Contact us pronto.
