Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa
for purchase. The perfect balance and plenty of fun factor is how
these 914 2.0L's were advertised by Porsche and is still true today
with these fun little two seaters. The 914 offered 3 variations
with the 4 cylinder, the 1.7 and 1.8 were inexpensive enough to
attract the budget buyer, but the person that wanted to save money
but still have a fun car to drive in all gears optioned for the
2.0L that had more low-end power and more total horsepower.
The 1975 Porsche 914 2.0 liter offered here was purchased new on
October 3 1975 at Carmichael Porsche Audi of Knoxville TN. The
owner was a physician were the car was always garaged, routinely
serviced and used as a second "fun" car. It was enjoyed for the
next 44 years by the original owner, until our recent acquisition.
The original interior features an excellent dash with no cracking,
GT style steering wheel, factory leather shift knob, and original
gauges. The door upholstery and door pockets remain excellent, the
original carpet show some expected wear but very acceptable and the
original bucket seats overall are very nice especially on the
inserts . The seats do show some small tears on each of the outer
bolsters. The car retains its original sheet metal through out and
shows no signs of any bodywork. The exterior was professionally
re-sprayed approximately 10 years ago in its original factory
color, Nepal Orange. The door jams, engine area, front bonnet area
and rear trunk area all still retain the original factory paint and
show excellent. The black side pillars, aluminum trim, exterior
rubber trim are all excellent. The bottom of the car remains
untouched, original and dry. It shows excellent in all areas and
leaves nothing to the imagination.
The car is powered by its desirable 2.0 liter center mounted fuel
injected engine, 5 speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive.
The car pulls strong in every gear, and shifts proper. The
suspension and steering are tight and responsive give great
feedback to the driver.
Recent services include: New tie rod assemblies, steering rack
boots, brake system service, rebuild calipers, clean fuel
injectors, front wheel bearings, replace fuel tank, fuel lines,
fuel pump, new front struts, new shocks, valve adjustment, clean
and service the throttle body.
The Porsche market continues the surge around the world and the
Porsche 914 has fallen into favor with collectors and driver
enthusiasts alike. Their handling capabilities rival anything that
is on the road today. The feel and driver feedback create a car and
driver connection that cannot be duplicated in todays vehicles. The
2.0 liter is the most desirable of the 4 cylinder 914's, well kept,
one owner examples are extremely rare to come across and will
generate global demand. This 914 2.0 liter is a great investment at
the price offered here as well as a most excellent car to own and
drive. The car comes documented with the original bill of sale and
finance contract, recent service records and owner information.
