• VIN 4752903738

Finished in Laguna Blue (L50C) with a black vinyl interior with
black cloth inserts on the front seats. Exterior paintwork exhibits
a fair amount of patina with mostly original paint as well as
impact bumpers and 15" x 5.5" Riviera Mag Wheels. The interior
features a deluxe butterfly horn ring on the steering wheel, an
aftermarket shifter, JVC AM/FM Stereo, and factory VDO
instrumentation. Mechanically powered by a 1.8L engine with manual

rust free 914 to enjoy.
History
The Porsche 914 was a joint development between Porsche and
Volkswagen and was the new Porsche entry-level model as of the
model year 1970. The two-seater, also known as the "VW Porsche",
was a mid-engine Sports Car. Striking design features included the
very long wheelbase for the vehicle length, short overhangs, the
removable roof center panel made from glass-fiber-reinforced
plastic as well as the wide safety bar. The 914 also featured
pop-up headlights. At the time of its launch, the 914 was available
with two engines. 914: 1.7-liter flat-four engine with 80 hp from
Volkswagen. 914/6: 2.0-liter flat-six engine with 110 hp from the
Porsche 911 T. These were followed by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine with 100 hp based on the 1.7-liter engine in the model year
1973 and a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 85 hp in the model
year 1974.
