Vehicle Description
The perfect balance and plenty of fun factor is how these 914 2.0
liters were advertised by Porsche. And that statement still holds
true today. The 914 offered three 4 cylinder engine options; the
1.7 and 1.8 liter motors were inexpensive enough to attract the
budget buyer, the that want to spend just a little more and have a
car that was fun to drive in all gears optioned for the 2.0 liter.
It had more total horsepower and more low end power in all gears,
and it was also paired with a 5 speed gearbox giving it the ability
to get out of the hole quick and achieve healthy triple digit top
end.
The 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 liter offered here is a highly original
example that sports an older repaint in its original factory color,
code L 64 K Zambezi Green. The car is powered by its 2.0 liter
engine (engine number GA014164), 5 speed gear box and rear wheel
drive. The motor is fed by dual Weber carbs and managed by MSD
ignition.
The interior is two tone tan / charcoal and appears to be all
original. It does show some expected wear and the original dash pad
is a little stressed. The gauges are the original VDO and remain in
very good original condition.
The engine area is clean and tidy. The dreaded "Hell Hole" located
under the battery tray is clean and solid. The exterior Zambezi
green paint lays flat and deep and glossy. It is an older repaint
and shows some minor chips, scuffs etc.
In April of 2008 and at 46116 miles, the engine was removed and was
completely rebuilt at a cost of over $10,000 dollars. Since the car
has remained in the same owner until our recent acquisition. The
car starts with ease and pulls strong in all gears. The suspension
and steering are tight, and the brakes stop strong and straight.
Other highlights include: Original steering wheel, full size spare
wheel and tire, upgraded radio.
The Porsche market continues to surge around the world, with that,
the Porsche 914's have fallen into favor among driver enthusiasts.
Their handling capabilities rival anything that is on the road
today. The feel and driver feedback is direct creating a car and
driver connection that cannot be duplicated in todays vehicles.
Documentation includes the receipts of the engine rebuild and some
other service history.
