Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this 1975
Porsche 914. This 1975 Porsche 914 1.8L features a recently
completed and well documented 5-year long comprehensive restoration
and mechanical refresh. The finished product is a well thought out
blend of technical enhancements and driver comfort modernization.
The build started with a well-maintained and rust-free southern
California car. The body was stripped to bare metal and repainted.
The front nose is protected by a professionally installed clear
bra. The stock 1.8L engine is a complete rebuild with numerous
upgrades. These include 96mm forged JE pistons and liners,
light-weight Pauter 911 connecting rods, slightly modified cam
(maintains factory 1.8L valve settings), re-machined heads to 8.1:1
compression (93 octane recommended), and balanced flywheel. A HD
911 clutch was also mated to a partially rebuilt transmission (1st
gear cluster). A Rennshift performance shifter was installed to
provide smoother shifting with a tighter 5-speed shift gate. A NACA
air duct is discretely located on the passenger side rocker panel
which routes fresh air directly across an auxiliary oil cooler
fitted with a thermostatically controlled fan. This set-up ensures
correct oil operating temperatures even on the hottest days. A
high-performance center positioned dual exhaust was installed that
is a modern tribute to the Boxster. This engine retains its
originally designed Bosch later generation and widely used reliable
L-Jetronic fuel injection system. It has been completely
refurbished with new vacuum lines, air flow meter, sensors, and
wiring harnesses. A new A/C system by Vintage Air was installed
that included a modern compressor, which draws only � HP, and uses
R134a refrigerant. This system provides cold air and keeps the
cabin comfortable even on the hottest days in the Southeast. The
interior was completely refurbished with reupholstered seats, door
cards, roll bar pad, A-pillars, sun visors and rear bolster. Other
work included new carpets, thresholds, dash pad and a new
windshield (rare find NOS). Improvements included heated seats and
Dynamat, which was placed on the floorboards, firewall, and trunk
for sound and heat insulation. Both the front and rear suspension
systems have received numerous street performance style upgrades
that enhance the legendary handling of the 914 and reduce un-sprung
weight. Safety enhancements include a commonly fitted 914 front
brake upgrade package, which includes over-sized BMW discs and
calipers, stainless brake lines and a 911 master cylinder. The fuel
lines, which run from the front gas tank to the mid-ship placed
engine, were also upgraded to stainless steel. The car also has a
modern high-mount third brake light. The headlights have been
converted to LED to decrease voltage use and enhance night driving.
