This is a 1976 Porsche 914 that has a 1981 Porsche 3.0L SC engine. Almost all work done to the car has been done by myself (except wrap, bodywork, and specialty rebuilt parts). I have owned the car since 2009. In 2010 I purchased a project 911 to swap the engine to my 914. After preparing the engine and collecting parts the swap was done in the summer of 2014. I have driven this car every fall and spring when there is nice weather. Mileage of engine and car is unknown. Annual driven estimates are 2-4 thousand miles. Engine pulls hard and is a true blast to drive in this tiny car. Previous owners gutted the car for autocross – this is a lightweight 914. Interior is bed liner – no carpet. No accidents under my ownership. The car has never been towed home. I also own a 2000 Boxster S that I work on myself as well.

$17,000

SOLD

Issues:
Slight rust issues were fixed by my body guy before being wrapped (paint underneath is faded red). Previous rust issues were already fixed before my purchase (battery hellhole). Racing seats need to be recovered or replaced – I have passenger seat but is not in car. The oil tank oil filter mount was not drilled center so I am using a remote oil mount. This allows for extra oil temp sensors that are featured in the center console and for the remote fan. Engine leaks like any classic Porsche engine as does the oil tank through a fitting or mount I apparently didn’t seal well enough when installed. Speedometer is not accurate – bounces around despite new cable.
