Vehicle Description
The affordable, fun, and nimble German sports car has really come
into its own on the classic market. This 1973 Porsche 914 has a
great color combo, the right features, and the unmistakable feeling
of a true driving machine engineered in Stuttgart. And it's all
available today at an affordable 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. Signal Orange seems to be the ideal color
for this coupe. Combined with the black vinyl roll bar, black
bumpers, and black targa roof, this has a beautiful distinct and
contrasting total package. And this has all the right pieces - from
the 2.0 badging to the Pedrini wheels - to really get enthusiasts
happy.
If you like the way the black trim looks against the orange
exterior, then you're going to love the full black interior. And
after all, a targa sports car is meant to be open to the world and
put the wind in your hair. There's even an upgraded AM/FM digital
tuner with cassette player for upgraded tunes while going down the
road. But more than just the music, this was built to be a true
driver's machine. Bucket seats, a well-placed gearshift, grippy
sports steering wheel, and a full gauge cluster with the tach
prominently in the middle - this offers the true vintage Porsche
experience.
It's hard to look in the engine bay and not make comparisons to the
modern 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 gives you two trunks. The
consignor states the motor was rebuilt in 1992 (21,000 miles ago.)
It was given a hydraulic camshaft and the fuel-injection was
replaced with an easier to service set of Weber carbs. Plus,
there's an MSD ignition and a newer clutch for the five-speed
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.
This Porsche has spent the last half its life with the same owner,
and so it has been cared for correctly. That's exactly what you
want in an affordable and distinctive classic. So don't miss out,
call today!
