Vehicle Description
The affordable, fun, and nimble German sportscar has really come
into its own on the classic market. This 1973 Porsche 914 has a
great color combo, the right features (including A/C), and the
unmistakable feeling of a great driving machine engineered in
Stuttgart. And it's all available today at an obtainable price.
The design of the 914 was one of the most interesting Porsche ever
made. It follows the same principal of the 911 that made sure the
tall fender line helped you understand where the front edges of the
car were. But then it adds a completely sleek front end with the
aid of pop up headlights. Black seems to be the ideal color for
this coupe. Combined with the black vinyl roll bar and black targa
roof, this has the same 70s-style classic appeal that you would
love to have in a Detroit muscle car - just in a much sleeker and
nimbler package. Plus, the hue coordinates nicely with the lighter
elements such as the chrome bumpers and optional 15-inch Pedrini
wheels. And if you're a competition Porsche fan, you'll love the
Pegasus decals - everyone else can just peel them off with no
damage underneath.
The black interior combines with the exterior paint and roof to
give you the ultra-desirable triple-black total package. The seats,
door panels, and dash all look stock and well maintained. You get
all the right features, including the optional center console and
an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. And we especially like to see the
dealer-installed air conditioning using modern R134a refrigerant.
That means you can stay cool while enjoying open-top motoring deep
into the summer months. But more than great features, this is a
true driver's car at its heart. You get the classic Porsche sports
steering wheel, and a gearbox that is perfectly positioned for your
right hand. And Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the
tachometer is directly in front of you. The rest of the instruments
surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a
comprehensive view of what's going on in the engine bay.
You're looking at the original powerplant for this coupe, and the
condition and the maintenance records tell us this has been cared
for correctly. The mileage is even believed to be accurate. With
the 914, it's hard not to make comparisons to the modern Porsche
Boxster. After all, the 2.0-liter flat-four motor is mounted in the
center to give you the best balance on the road. And just like the
Boxster, this setup also yields two trunks. You get to make the
most out of this powerplant thanks to fuel-injection and the
control that comes from a five-speed manual transmission. With a
car this well-balanced, you'll also love the fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. It makes for a total package
that will have you constantly looking for the long and winding road
home.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and service
manuals. Porsche made affordability exciting with the 914, and this
nicely preserved classic is ready to be taken home right now by the
first one to grab this deal. Call today!!!
