Vehicle Description
The affordable, fun, and nimble German sports car has really come
into its own on the classic market. This 1974 Porsche 914 has a
great color combo, the right features, and the unmistakable feeling
of a true driving machine engineered in Stuttgart. And as you dig
into the details, you'll see a well-documented and well-respected
classic that has been a local boy all its life.
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. The factory-correct Saturn Yellow seems
to be the ideal color for this Porsche. Combined with the crisp
look on the black vinyl roll bar, black bumpers, and black targa
roof, this has a beautiful distinct and contrasting total
package.
We're used to seeing the interior done in all black, so showing off
this highly original and very distinct brown interior is another
great reason to drive around with the targa top out. 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. The bucket seats, a
well-placed gearshift, and the classic sports steering wheel offer
the true vintage Porsche experience.
It's hard not to look in the engine bay and make comparisons to the
modern Boxster. After all, the 1.8-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. As you look
though all the paperwork, you'll see a long history of respect and
maintenance, including a recent tune-up. So this is believed to be
the original motor, and it runs like a well-done fuel-injected
powerplant should. You get to make the most of it all thanks to 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 come with a ton of valuable paperwork, including the
original window sticker (proving it was sold new in downtown
Nashville,) bill of sale, dealer invoice, owner's manual packet,
and maintenance records. That's exactly the total package you want
in an affordable and distinctive classic. So don't miss out, call
today!
