For sale in our Houston Showroom is a 1970 Porsche 914.This 914 has
the 1.7L engine with a 5-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt
roughly 2 years ago. The guards red paint is good shape as are the
Fuchs wheels and tires. The interior is in good condition with no
rips or tears. The 914 fires right up and needs a new owner to take
it for a spin. The car has had new shocks, struts, and interior
installed on the car to ensure a comfortable ride. It has also
received a fresh service with all the wiring for lighting serviced.
Need I mention the new exhaust system that was installed to make
for a smooth sounding ride. Here's how the 914 came to be,
according to Classic Motorsports: In the late 60s, Porsche needed a
replacement for the 911's low-rent four-cylinder cousin, the 912.
At the same time, VW needed a replacement for the Karmann-Ghia that
would ideally be more than just a fanciful-bodied Beetle. Perhaps
over some hefeweizen and sauerkraut, Ferry Porsche and VW executive
Heinz Nordhoff hammered out an agreement where their respective
companies would build the car together. The car would be designed
by Porsche and powered by a VW engine, and under their original
plan, both manufacturers were to get a version of the car. But
after Nordhoff died, a new executive mandated that the car be sold
in Europe as the "VW-Porsche 914." In America, it was simply sold
as a Porsche. As one might expect from the car's size, weight, and
mid-engine architecture, the handling is quite sharp. To see all
