I am proud to offer this remarkable 1974 Porsche 914! This little sports car comes from years of proven racing history & performance. With only 87,000 miles on the odometer and a yellow paint job and black interior that is in great shape, this 914 is an excellent representation of the Porsche Pedigree. The Porsche 914 was a mid-engine, Targa topped two seater roadster designed sports car manufactured and marketed collaboratively by Volkswagen and Porsche from 1969 to 1976. Power goes to the rear wheels via the mid-mounted 2.0 engine, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission which gives the near 2100lb car plenty of power. The low curb weight and mid-engine layout is the perfect layout for a nimble and playful sports car. You will be able to play your favorite radio station on the AM/FM radio. The Targa top is something that is becoming rarer with newer cars, but this car comes with a fully functioning example of this. Safety is paramount in any vehicle, and you will be pleased to find seat belts inside. Whether you purchased and owned a 914 back when you could see them brand new in the dealerships or if you are a first time 914 owner, you will love this one. Porsche is a staple when it comes to real driver cars, and this is no exception. It is a machine that you can genuinely feel connected to when you are behind the wheel. This excellent example of a classic German automobile would last long. Low slung, agile, and blessed with a timeless look, this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa is all about open air motoring fun. It is carrying a design that's coming up on 50 years old now, but when it comes to automotive design, some looks just age better than others, with this compact German roadster being one of them. Always dressed in yellow, it exudes the promise of fun times behind the wheel and arrives at the present day looking great - no doubt the product of a sheltered existence during its lifetime, combined with attentive maintenance. The bright shade is in very nice shape with an even shine all over. Its low-profile hints at its road hugging prowess and you can't help but notice its unfailingly straight alignment - there are no protruding body panels anywhere you look. Also featuring clean chrome trim around very clear window glass, the visual signs are everywhere that this is one vintage vehicle very ready to hit the road without hesitation. With the flip of a switch, you can also see that the hidden headlights up front raise into place without a hitch. Its Targa top configuration allows you to transition from open air motoring to a more sheltered experience quickly and easily. The 87,000 miles this Porsche has logged over its lifetime constitutes pretty light usage for a car nearly 45 years old, and the fresh-looking interior has been a beneficiary. Open the door to look inside and you won't see a whole lot of evidence of wear - there are no deep creases in the black vinyl bucket seats, and you'd be hard-pressed to find so much as an errant heel mark on the fresh looking carpeting underneath. Up front, the dash area features a textured look that could very well be seen as a forefather to the carbon fiber applications we see today, and carries a trio of very readable gauges in its stock cluster that are joined by another trio vertically mounted within easy view just in front of the floor shiftier. The 914's mid- engine configuration not only yields benefits as far as handling is concerned, but also affords this compact car fairly generous storage space in both the front and back, so no worries about bringing your suitcase when you decide to get away for the weekend. A straight and unmarred black pad sits over the top of the dash, and you'll find the original AM/FM radio residing in the center. With its 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine sitting just behind the passenger cabin, this 914 has a weight distribution that, combined with its low center of gravity, allows it to carve corners with ease. The easy-revving power plant has been well-looked after over the years and is in fine operating form. It's paired with a 5-speed manual transmission that shifts easily and securely to make for an involving and thoroughly enjoyable driving experience. This German fun machine sits with its characteristically low-profile stance on a set of 15" Fuchs forged alloy wheels, Looking to take to the road for some open-air excitement at the wheel of a classic roadster with timeless good looks. You have to see this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa. sold "as is" I have a clean title in hand. and you will receive a bill of sale with the car. The car was heavily undercoated back in the day and has preserved the under body very well. Since I have owned the car there are a few things that the car will need to be perfect mechanically. 1.The carbs are new and will need a tuning. 2.The e-brake lever pulls very stiff and will need some loosening. 3. One headlight is slower to open then the other head light. 4. horn not always working. 5. One taillight is out. 6. There is a small hole in the passenger seat. If you are handy with these items then please bid. This is the car for you. Thanks for looking.
