1975 Porsche 914

Porsche developed the 914 as a replacement for its beloved 912, the four cylinder version of the 911. The 914 was intended to be a mass produced vehicle that would be built in conjunction with Volkswagen. When unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1969, it was somewhat unexpected as it did not resemble a Porsche or a Volkswagen. The car, however, with its mid-engine configuration, demonstrated balance and handling capabilities that few have achieved and packaged it into an affordable sports car that would appeal to the masses.
Just out of long term storage, this fabulous little 914 1.8 liter was sold new by Wood Imports of Detroit Michigan and delivered on April 16, 1975, and delivered with the following options: 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine, 5 speed manual transmission, Tinted Glass all around, Intermittent Windshield wiper, Appearance Group consisting of Leatherette Covered Steering Wheel, Fog Lights the bumper, Dual-Tone Horn, Center Storage Box with Armrest, Leatherette Boot for Shift lever, Center Console with Clock, Oil Temp Gauge and Voltage Meter. The car also came standard with Electronic Fuel Injection, Radial Tires, 4 Wheel Disc Brakes, Tachometer, Removable Hard Top, Vinyl Covered Roll Bar, Hideaway Headlights, Day / Night Inside Mirror, Energy Absorbing Bumpers, Leatherette Sport Seats with Cloth Inserts, Vanity Mirror and Pyle-type carpeting.
Today, this rust free example remains highly original retaining its original engine and drive train, clean original underside, original floors, unrestored engine compartment, original carpets, dash, console and door panels. It has been the recent recipient of a high-quality repaint in its original color, Laguna Blue. This 914 has been driven just 54986 miles is documented with the original window sticker, original bill of sale, original books with portfolio, service records and ownership transactions.
The Porsche 914 has recently fallen back into favor with sports car enthusiasts and collectors. They are a wonderful car to drive with confidence as is wide stance and mid-engine placement provide an excellent experience. Although production numbers of these cars were rather high, few have survived as people who owned these cars thoroughly enjoyed the performance they delivered. A 914 of this caliber has plenty to offer its new owner in enjoyment and investment.
