![]() **SOLD** After over 11 years of ownership, my 914 is up for sale. A Boxster has followed me home and taken the 914's spot in the garage, so the 914 must go. If you are looking for a show car, you can look elsewhere. This is not it. This is a driver. Comfortable on the street and perfectly capable as a daily driver. But also extremely competent as a weekend autocrosser. I have run this car in autocrosses with PCA throughout my ownership, and is capable of top 10-15 overall finishes with the GGR PCA series - only beaten by dedicated race cars and and other Porsches costing 10, 20, or even 30 times as much. Really quite amazing for a little old 914 with ~100hp. THE GOOD: - 1974 914 2.0 (modified motor, see below) - Signal Orange color - Chrome bumpers - Garaged for last 11 years, very seldom driven in the rain. - Motor: 2056cc, #73 webcam, 8.3:1 compression). Under 20K miles on rebuild. Built to last 100K miles. - Stock D-Jet fuel injection - Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers - Custom Flowmaster muffler - no anemic sounding VW here. But if you prefer, I'll swap it with a Bursch for lower noise. - Pertronix Electronic Ingition - Ceramic Lifters (NLA, probably worth nearly $1000 alone) - External oil cooler with fan (mounted under rear trunk) - Transmission in good shape. Replaced 3 years ago and gone through at that time. - 5 lug conversion (done with stock parts) - 6x16 polished Fuchs all around - 205/55-16 RS-2 High performance tires (under 5K miles on them) - 180 pound rear springs - 19mm adjustable front sway bar - Elephant Racing Poly-Bronze trailing arm bushings. - Turbo Tie-Rods - Fuel pump moved to front trunk - Optima sealed battery. - Front-to-rear fuel lines replaced with steel (original are plastic) - Momo 'Competition' steering wheel - Carbon fiber dash face - additional gauges installed (2 are in place of original ashtray) - JVC CD stereo with amplifier and 10" Polk Subwoofer in passenger footwell (easily removable upon request) - Interior in good shape (some minor tears in seat bottoms) - Pilot driving lights - Custom 3rd brakelight mounted under targa bar. THE BAD: - California Salvage title. Was hit in the right front many years ago (before my ownership). Right front fender and hood were replaced - Paintwork. Not a great paintjob, plenty of nicks and chips. Looks better in photos. - Engine drips some oil. But hey, it's an aircooled motor. Don't they all do that? Mechanically, this car is excellent and very reliable. I pretty much haven't had to touch the motor since I rebuilt it just over 4 years ago. If you know what you are looking for, you will notice that this car has most all of the desirable modifications for an aggressive street car / weekend autocrosser. I've probably forgot to include many things, so I'll add things as I think of them. Feel free to e-mail with questions. demick@yahoo.com Price reflects salvage title and depressed economy. $6000 obo. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
