red   dog motorsports 1972 Porsche 914 Classic go-kart handling with a solid, reliable motor This 914 offers a great opportunity to own a car that handles with the nimble touch of a Miata and looks like nothing else on the road, as well as being developed by one of the worlds most respected manufacturers. Our 914 starts and runs immediately, idles smoothly, and accelerates eagerly and without hesitation. Considering that the car is a 4-cylinder, it pulls very well, and is strong throughout its power range. The ride is well composed, and the car looks great on the street, certain to draw the envy of other small sports car owners. Contrary to the badge on the car, this is actually a 1.7 liter engine with a Bosch D-Jetronic injection system. This injection system is less of a hassle to maintain than the system on the 1.8 that followed in '74. The original shifter has been replaced in favor of the much improved side-shift arrangement available beginning in the '73 model year, making this car even more fun to drive. And with many of the parts on this car interchangeable with parts on the 911, there are still plenty of spares available in the event of trouble. We do not have maintenance records associated with this car, but if this is a concern for you, please contact us so that we may do our best to put you at ease. While the car shows some of the signs of age common to the 914, this car excels as a driver, and it will make an inexpensive acquisition for anyone looking for a great toy.
