The Porsche 911 set the scene in the Sixties, and the 912 represented an affordable entry point into owning a fine German sports car. By the end of the Sixties, Porsche, as well as parent company Volkswagen, needed something new to tease the market with. Enter the 914, a mid-engined two-seat roadster with a removable Targa top, for a fun driving experience at a relatively more wallet-friendly price. If you're after one of these, we've got a 1976 Porsche 914 with 120,000 miles on the clock for sale. The current owner reports it to be all-original, and given that the 914 is already attaining classic status, you'd be making a smart buy on this one.
The 914's design is far removed from the more popular 911. For starters, it features pop-up headlamps and boat-tail styling reminiscent of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, which it was meant to replace. This 1976 Porsche 914 showcases all those features in a bright red paint job and rolls on a set of lovely period wheels. A side profile view further accentuates its mid-engined layout, as the cab is closer to the front than the rear of the car, lending it a darting, almost enthusiastic silhouette. It's capped off by black bumpers, black B-pillars, and a black Targa top. Note that the Targa top fits neatly within the trunk, so you don't need to leave it at home if venturing out topless. If you're concerned about luggage space, there's a front trunk as well since the engine lives just behind the passenger cabin. Inside, two occupants enjoy a spartan cabin free of the frivolities of modern-day sports cars. The seats feature a tartan-styled pattern in shades of red, with the iconic Porsche instrument cluster facing the driver. You've got wind-up windows and manually adjusted seats. However, the dash does host levers for the ventilation system, and there's a radio cassette deck with footwell-mounted speakers for some tunes. Pop in one of those cassette tape AUX adapters, and you're good to go with modern tunes via a smartphone.
This 1976 Porsche 914 comes with the largest engine offered, a 2.0-liter flat-four or Boxer engine that sits low in the center of the car. Developing 99hp and 118lb-ft, you can tell it's not a powerhouse, but the beauty of the 914 lies in its handling, wringing out every single horse from the soulful Boxer engine and snicking gears through the five-speed manual transmission. Zero to sixty may take a shade over ten seconds, but who cares when you're in such a wonderful little car?
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.
