Vehicle Description
Passing by this Willow Green 1972 Porsche 914 1.7 requires a double
take. It simply looks great in the North Carolina sunshine with the
contrast of Willow Green paint against a black top and also wears
its factory correct steel wheels with pride. The Willow Green color
is yes, less common than many others you find in the 914 offering
and it really pulls you in. Opening the door and peeking inside
provides a true survivor's view of the 914 interior. The odometer
shows 55k miles but from the interior touch points, you could
easily mistake it for 5k. The carpet, seats, dash, leather-wrapped
wheel and shift knob are as they left the factory. You don't find
the characteristic wrinkles or creasing on the side bolsters that
is usually the case with cars from this period. The black interior
door cards just present so well. The Porsche 914 is harder and
harder to find in original condition with zero rust issues or
repairs. They are only original once and this car looks great.
Climbing in and pulling away you feel the crisp 901 transmissions
engaging into gear and that welcome exhaust note. The low seating
position and mid-engine placement make the 914 such a joy to drive.
The Porsche 914 platform continues to gain value and fans in the
sports car market and this one is positioned well for someone
looking to add to their collection or have as a weekend driver.
