I have been looking for a 914 now for a couple of months. I have around 4k to spend and I would like to get a nice condition car that I can Autox on the weekends. I don’t need the car to be competitive just as long as its not the slowest car out there. My problem is I have been looking at several publications each day trying to find a 73-74 914 with a 2.0L engine without any luck. I went and looked at a couple but the had too much rust and damage on them. Would I be happy with just a 1.8L? I am not too familiar with how the 914 engines are laid out. Did Porsche use different blocks for the 1.8 and 2.0 or were the bores just different? I am basically looking for a nice looking straight car with a strong engine and tranny. What are the major differences between the engines? Are there any performance possibilities with a 1.8? Should I just keep looking for a 2.0 until I find one that works for me. I am in the San Diego, CA area if anyone knows of any cars that might fit what I am looking for. Thanks for the help.

Andrew,
Not for sale. Try autotrader, and ebay. Dont bid off ebay, just watch it for cars near you. I found my car off ebay, and I got 2 other parts cars and a shedfull of parts for 950. I could sell my car for about 5k (once I paint it, have paint) and all the parts for another 1k.. The deals and half projects are out there. But I say you find the nicest example. Check your local paper as well. Good luck Andrew |
