1974 Porsche 914-V8 for sale. It originally was L80E Ivory White.
Asking $14,500 OBO Current odometer: 83,118+ (still driving it). True mileage unknown. I have driven it approximately 500+ miles since recommissioning/upgrading it. Never wrecked (!)

V8 - 195-220 h.p., 285-295 lb./ft of torque, rams horn exhaust manifolds (no maintenance, allows for room to work), Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with Edelbrock 1406 (Holly 8867) 4-barrel carburetor ***Will idle for +30 minutes at rest with no issues. Provenance: records and receipts dating back to 2002 BMW 320i front brakes with 19mm brake master cylinder *New parts installed: Uro 19mm brake master cylinder PMB refurbished rear brake calipers Porterfield R4-S brake pads (front and rear) Passenger parking brake cable (Gemo) parking brake cable grommets at caliper (both sides) correct year new fuel tank (new fuel socks, copper gaskets, sending unit, gates green stripe and continental fuel hoses, fuel filters) Moroso combination coolant expansion tank/overflow tank, mounted at the car's highest point in the engine bay water inlets (engine block) re-sealed (Fel-Pro gaskets and Permatex thread sealant with activator) Gates green stripe coolant hoses with stainless t-bar clamps, fittings mishimoto billet aluminum bleeder fitting in engine compartment (can be lifted to highest position for bleeding) bleeder valve for radiator in front Davies-Craig electric water pump new hei distributor cap, rotor, ignition module, wires, spark plugs with heat shields chrome air cleaner with new filter chrome valve covers and clamps with Fel-Pro 1628 silicone valve cover gaskets mobil 1 oil change with wix filter 4 new (sticky) Falken Azenis 615K+ tires (205/50-15) with less than 500 miles of use. numerous oem original used interior parts (A and B pillars, knee pad, door pulls etc.) Momo steering wheel Battery shifter bushings tailshifter firewall cover rubber bellows Cleaned and repaired door handles One Porsche key (red) works in all locks. All driving lights/blinkers function. Jack points are great. Weltmeister short shift kit new Renegade Hybrids front spoiler mounted Currently registered in California with a clean title in my name. Sounds great, steers straight and responsively, brakes great, starts and revs eagerly . . .great chassis and engine . . .I drove it 100 miles in the rain the other night with no issues (other than the driver's wiper calling it a day - grrr/lol) Tailshifter - 1st gear is locked out, needs to be resealed. If I were keeping it I'd fit a cable shifter. Hard to get second when cold (and if it is in a bad mood). 4th will occasionally grind if rushed. 283 weeps slightly at oil adapter (new gasket should fix it), pan gasket weeps slightly Paint is peeling and there are rust bubbles (see pics) Driver wiper doesn't work. Rear passenger triangle/false firewall rusted through, but has not affected the integrity of the longs or even the passenger rear "doughnut" (which can still be used to lift the car even though it is not a factory jackpoint). Holley Inc. said it should have a 390cfm (2-barrel) but that won't fit easily . . .the currently installed Edelbrock (weber) 4 barrel = slight over carburation. Choke is disconnected. Please note: **** ATS wheels seen in the driving video are NOT included - 4 very straight and true OEM Pedrini rims are currently installed on the new Falken Azenis tires**** Some process pics below show old yellow spark plug wires, old hei distributor cap/vacuum advance etc. and old Odyssey PC1200 agm battery . . .all have been replaced. PM if interested in making an offer . . .I have nearly 1500 photographs and a few videos of the recommissioning/re-engineering process.    |

    ***Current non-agm battery below***  *** This (below) is how the valvetrain looked when I pulled the old valvecovers off . . .this motor has been loved (and turned over when it was in limbo)! ***    *** old valve cover gaskets - un-cleaned - exactly as they were upon first removal  |

Sorry-it was an extremely long day yesterday.
Dear Admins, can you please move this thread to the proper section (FS/Wanted 914 cars and rollers)? Thank you! |

@MM1
The 17916 VIN on this 1974 originally L80E car confirms that is not an LE, however, PLEASE, swap that real LE front spoiler with an aftermarket unit and sell the real one to me or another LE owner. I have a Creamsicle that really needs an authentic LE spoiler. Your spoiler needs significant repair but it is salvageable and an LE owner would be pleased to have this. |
