Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is delighted to offer this beautifully-executed 1972
Porsche 914-6 Conversion finished in Black over a Black leather
interior.
914 Limited spared no expense when building this 914-6 conversion;
only the finest parts went toward this build. The heart of this
914-6 is its 2.4 'S' spec engine assembled with Weber carburetors
and sparked by an Electromotive ignition system. The car makes 178
wheel horsepower at 6500 RPM in dynamometer testing. 914 Limited
fitted a subtle front-mount oil cooler to keep the engine
comfortable on enthusiastic drives. The headers are from B&B
and exit into a sport muffler.
The suspension and brakes on this 914-6 conversion are
well-executed to make short work of fun roads. The front end has
911SC hubs, Bilstein damper inserts, 944 Turbo multi-piston front
brakes, a welded strut brace, and a fully adjustable front sway
bar. This 914-6's rear suspension benefits from Bilstein coilovers,
a bolt-on strut brace, genuine 914-6 rear brake calipers, and a set
of cross-drilled 911SC rotors. Each corner wears 7x15 Fuchs. The
rebuilt factory gearbox features a Weltmeister short shifter.
Inside, this 914-6 conversion is appointed very nicely with a full
leather black interior. 911 gauges include a 2.4 'S' tachometer,
180mph speedometer, and numeral combination gauge. The steering
wheel is a smaller-diameter Momo Competition unit. A Halmeter
air-fuel ratio gauge integrates neatly into the center console,
with additional information provided by gauges to the steering
column's left and right. A Blaupunkt CD head unit powered by a
Blaupunkt amplifier drives speakers in the footwells and center
console.
The exterior presentation of this 914-6 is excellent. The paint
shows well and received a full correction upon arrival. 914 Limited
added a NACA duct in the passenger rocker panel leading directly to
the engine's air intake and louvered the engine grille for
additional cooling. All exterior body panels fit very well. All
brightwork is very presentable. Front turn signal lenses and rear
tail light lenses are European-specification, and the front running
lights are deleted for a cleaner aesthetic.
The 914 is one of Porsche's best-balanced sports cars. These cars
have go-kart-like handling and are incredibly rewarding to drive
quickly. 914-6s with powerful 911 powertrains like this will leave
most equivalent 911s behind in the corners and are a fraction of
the cost. This 914-6 conversion offers a more engaging and spirited
drive than a stock 914-6 at a more affordable price. If you are
looking for a Porsche to use on canyon drives and maybe the
occasional day at the track, this is a great example to
consider.
