This 1974 Porsche 914 embodies the classic mid-engine charm that
has made the model a favorite among Porsche enthusiast. Power comes
from a responsive 2.0-liter flat-four paired with a five-speed
manual transaxle, an ideal setup for enjoying the 914's famously
balanced chassis.
The car wears a striking Dark Sapphire Pearl finish over a black
vinyl-and-cloth interior, and comes equipped with the desirable
Appearance Group Package, Weber 40 carburetors, a high-flow exhaust
system, four-wheel disc brakes, 15 Fuchs alloys, and a removable
Targa top.
Additional features include a cabin heater, two-way adjustable
seats, and a Kenwood CD stereo. The car was purchased by the
previous owner on Bat, who completed extensive mechanical work,
including a complete engine rebuild, refreshed ignition components,
new heater boxes, flywheel, and clutch, along with newly finished
sail panels. Showing 52k miles, this 914 is offered with a newly
rebuilt transmission from Vertex Automotive, and a clean Florida
title.
The black removable Targa top beautifully complements the Dark
Sapphire Pearl repaint. The exterior features fog lights, pop-up
headlights, dual mirrors, polished bumper trim, and quad slash-cut
polished exhaust tips that suit the Weber-fed flat four's
soundtrack. The vinyl sail panels were retrimmed in August
2024.
Polished 15 Fuchs wheels are wrapped in Remington Ultra Metric
tires, and braking is courtesy of factory four-wheel discs. The
Brake master cylinder, calipers, brake pads, and rotors were
recently changed at Vertex Auto, as well as the front headlights
and side markers. The seller also replaced the spare tire and brake
hoses to keep the car road-ready.
Inside, the cabin retains the straightforward, driver-focused feel
that defines the 914. Two-way adjustable bucket seats are finished
in black vinyl with cloth inserts, accompanied by three-point
seatbelts, manual-crank windows, a functioning cabin heater, and a
Bluetooth-enabled Kenwood unit. A small hole is noted on the
driver's seat bolster.
The mid-mounted 2.0-liter flat-four engine was sourced from a 1976
914 and then rebuilt in 2021 by John Chambers Motorsports in Valley
Center, California. The rebuild included installation of Weber 40
IDF carburetors and replacement of the ignition coil, distributor
cap and rotor, condenser, points, and spark plugs, giving the
engine a refresh tailored to enthusiasts who appreciate crisp
throttle response and reliability.
Overall, this 914 is a stunning showcase of Porsche engineering.
The driving experience is fun and engaging. This is one Porsche you
will love.
