Eight-spoke, polished alloy wheels Alpine stereo Documentation
include original owner's manual The fruit of collaboration between
Porsche and Volkswagen, a 1971 Porsche 914 Targa, has landed at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars.�The�Porsche 914 was
a�mid-engined,�targa-topped�two-seater�roadster sports
car�manufactured and marketed collaboratively
by�Volkswagen�and�Porsche�from 1969 to 1976. Dressed in Irish
Green, (code L60E), the paint and trim are in overall very good
order. The targa's windows are clear and crack-free and its lights
are in good order too. The car rolls on 165R15 radials, surrounding
eight-spoke, polished alloy wheels and are in overall very good
shape. The Porsche's body panels solid and straight, including the
bumpers and black vinyl targa roof. The targa roof bar was designed
to serve has a roll bar as well. Out back is an air-cooled fuel
injected 1.7L inline four-cylinder engine linked to a five-speed
manual transmission. Porsche engineers gave the 914 near perfect
weight distribution with 45% in the front and 55% in the the rear.
Inside, the bucket seats are in good order but the driver's seat's
outer seatback bolster has a wear spot. The matching black carpet
is in decent order, as is the headliner. The instrument panel with
its VDO gauges is in overall fair condition but shows some
blemishes. In the center stack are AutoMeter clock, voltage and oil
temperature gauges. The original four-spoke steering wheel is
present. The inner door panels, mirror glass, center console and
shifter are all in good order. Completing the interior is an Alpine
AM/FM stereo with CD player and detachable faceplate. Cars produced
up to early 1972 had a fixed passenger seat and a removable
passenger�footrest. Later cars featured a movable passenger seat.
Other interior differences included changing vinyl designs, gauge
appearance, and air vent configurations in the dash. From 1970 to
1974, the 914 was offered with chrome or painted�bumpers, that were
apart of the rare Appearance Group Package. Underneath the chrome
rear bumper are dual exhaust pipes with four chrome tips, which
give this Porsche an more aggressive look. The most significant
performance upgrade during the vehicle's lifespan was the
introduction of�anti-roll bars, significantly improving the
handling. It makes for a sound driver or reasonable basis for a
straightforward restoration. It has been suggested that this 914
was once part of the Matthew Drendel Family Porsche Collection.
Competition to this Porsche in 1971 included Ford's Capri,
Chevrolet's Vega, Dodge's Colt and Opel's GT. Documentation
includes original owner's manual and carrying case for stereo's
detachable faceplate. This car is currently located at our facility
in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 71
miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage
exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: 4712905003 Note: Please see
