Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Houston has a fantastic opportunity for you
to own this beautiful ONE OWNER Porsche. The car was owned by a
B-17 flying fortress pilot who purchased the car brand new and
owned it until his passing. His son found it in his barn and sold
it to the current owner, who only titled it in his name to be able
to sell it with us. The miles are fully documented and everything
that has ever been done has been noted. It is a survivor car and
not 100% perfect but it would be very difficult to find a more
original and well optioned car from this era that hasn't had a full
restoration. The air conditioning system was a dealer installed
option. This is a 1976 year model of the 914! 1976 marked the last
year for this awesome little sports car. The Porsche 914 or
VW-Porsche 914 was a mid-engined, targa-topped two-seater roadster
designed sports car manufactured and marketed collaboratively by
Volkswagen and Porsche from 1969 to 1976. Amazingly, this one has
maintained the same owner since it was purchased brand new all
those years ago! A testament to the greatness of this car. It has
gone almost 40 years without ever being damaged or repainted and it
still has the original engine and transmission. Power goes to the
rear wheels via the mid mounted 2.0l engine, mated to a 5-speed
manual transmission which gives the near 2100lb vehicle plenty of
power to excited. The low curb weight and mid-engine layout is the
perfect layout for a nimble and playful sports car. This Porsche
features air conditioning to help keep the cabin cool on those hot
summer days. You will be able to play your favorite radio station
on the AM/FM radio with cassette player. The targa top is something
that is becoming more rare with newer cars but this car comes with
a fully functioning example of this. Safety is paramount in any
vehicle and you will be pleased to find seat belts inside. Whether
you purchased and owned a 914 back when you could find them brand
new in the dealerships or if you are a first time 914 owner, you
will love this one. The white paint job and vinyl interior go
beautifully together and it will certainly turn heads. This could
be perfect for weekend car shows or just a good drive in the
country. Porsche is a staple when it comes to real driver's cars
and this is no exception. It is a machine that you can truly feel
connected to when you're behind the wheel. This excellent example
of a classic German automobile won't last long. We have financing
and shipping options available to make the purchasing process
easier even if you are not in the Houston area. Don't miss this
one. Call the Houston showroom at (832) 243-6220 for more
