Vehicle Description
The oddball 914 that was developed in partnership with VW was
looked at a nice replacement for the 912 and one that would allow
Porsche to attract more people and money to their company with an
inexpensive and reliable sports car. The 2-seater setup would
provide that seat of the pants experience along with a look that
was fresh and inspiring. With only a few years of production and
overall very few of these left on the road that are in good
condition and not neglected, a well-cared for and rust free ones
are becoming very difficult to source.
In July of '74 Ms. Rhonda Campbell walked into Kent Thomas
VW/Porsche and bought this stunning Marathon Blue 914 1.8L to get
revenge on her ex-husband (according to folklore). This beautiful
car was enjoyed by her for only a year before she traded it into
the dealer. From there the car exchanged hands a few more times in
the south. The car then was acquired by a gentleman out of Georgia
that purchased car in 2011 and enjoyed it and kept it in great
shape. Less than a year ago he decided to invest some money into
the car and had the car stripped down and repainted in the factory
color and had the wheels fully restored, new tires, new carpet kit,
new headliner, and center console restored. Further enhancements
that were done were new headers to exhaust, new fuel pump, and
distributor and the car was converted from fuel injection over to a
carburetor setup. This was done with all new parts and done right.
Factory fuel injection system will come with the car. Vehicle comes
with A/C as well and believed to be installed by the delivering
dealer. Factory radio works and lights function properly.
This is a gem of a 914 and shows it has been well preserved and
nicely cared for its entire life. Vehicle comes with factory
manuals with dealer stamps, original MSRP of $5,797.50, and extra
parts. You will be very pleased with this purchase and there is
only an upside to the value of this car as time passes. This is a
very smart buy that will pay huge dividends down the road.
