Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this remarkably original and
unmolested 1974 Porsche 914 with complete ownership history and
service records to new, confirming just 53,000 original miles.
Originally sold at Irmer Porsche-Audi in Rochester, New York, it
received Ziebart rustproofing upon delivery - and thanks to being
garage kept and put away in the winter, it managed to escape the
rust that usually eats up Upstate New York's autos. This 914 first
moved to Atlanta in 1984 with its second owner, then to a third
owner in Virginia in 1999, then back to Atlanta with its present
(and fourth) owner in 2016. One repaint to a nice driver standard
in the original shade of Saturn Yellow. Excellent and original
floors, solid battery tray and hell hole, and among the crispest
and cleanest original front and rear trunk areas we've ever seen on
an un-restored 914.
Interior is completely original aside from an updated stereo and
newer mats sitting atop the original carpets. Original crack-free
dash, original door cards and steering wheel, original seat
upholstery (there are some tiny cracks in the corner of the
driver's seat outer bolster where the back meets the bottom).
Interior overall presents as you would expect for a garage-kept,
50,000-original-mile car. The driver seat belt starter interlock
and the passenger seat occupancy sensor / buzzer still work (in
nearly every 914 I've seen, these functions are either broken or
have been deliberately disabled).
The 1.8 liter flat four is still running its factory Bosch
L-Jetronic fuel injection. It starts easily and runs very well,
with excellent throttle response and smooth power delivery
throughout the rev range. Type 901 dog-leg five speed works well
with no crunchy synchros. This 914 has been well maintained by
caring owners throughout its life and all service is up to date. It
feels tight and "put together" just like a low-mileage car
should.
Included with the sale are the original sales invoice, owner's
books, tools, jack, spare and more than 40 years of service
records. For more information about this 1974 Porsche 914 for sale
