Embrace the spirit of 1970s European motoring with this 1972 Porsche 914, an iconic mid-engine sports car designed to offer a perfect balance of handling, performance, and practicality. This early-model 914 features clean, pre-1975 bumpers that enhance its timeless silhouette, making it a standout both on the road and in any collection.
Classic Styling with a Modern Touch:
This 914 boasts a vibrant red exterior paired with a black interior, black vinyl seats, and a matching black vinyl removable targa top. Custom 15-inch mesh wheels wrapped in Rapid P309 tires complete the sporty aesthetic, while aerodynamic wing mirrors add a sleek, functional touch.
Performance and Driving Dynamics:
Powered by a spirited 4-cylinder flat-4 engine with Weber carburetors and custom "Redline" air cleaners, this 914 delivers a distinctive driving experience. Its sporty 4-speed manual transaxle provides smooth shifting, and the low seating position enhances the connection between the driver and the machine. Whether cruising down winding roads or carving through tight corners, this Porsche offers the dynamic handling for which the 914 is legendary.
Practicality Meets Sportiness:
One of the 914’s unique advantages is its practicality. The car features ample trunk and "frunk" (front trunk) space, including dedicated storage for the removable targa top, making it perfect for weekend getaways or casual drives.
Interior and Entertainment:
The cabin features an upgraded Blaupunkt radio head unit with support for DVD, CD, MP3, USB, and SD cards, blending classic charm with modern convenience. The interior is well-preserved.
Condition and Character:
While this Porsche presents beautifully, it exhibits some minor imperfections that add character and authenticity. These include paint cracking on the rear deck lid and a few small scratches on the body. These details, while minimal, offer an opportunity for personalization or restoration.
