*RELIST DUE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDER WHO COULD NOT COMPLETE SHIPPING.* Decided to do an auction. Good luck! Need car gone. Please only bid if you are able to come pick the car up or have a truck come get the car for shipping. 1974 PORSCHE 914 2.0 Targa 5 speed with BIG BORE kit. Stock fuel injection. Widebody kit. Fiberglass blended properly. Lots and lots of new stuff. Moving to a new house and need to get rid of . Awesome project. Stainless fuel line from tank to rear. New fuel pump, rebuilt injectors. Changed to Pertronix electronic ignition from points. New upgraded starter plugs, plug wires and coil. Brand new interior including dash. Momo steering wheel, New trunk and hood carpet kit. Front lights replaced and do open and close properly. Doors open and close solid as they should. New gas shock kits for front and rear hoods installed New carpet kit. New window rubber, trunk rubber and hood rubber seals. Car is WRAPPED IN AVERY VINYL mainly to buy time until paint. Original color is red. Body is straight. No rust inside. Very little rust anywhere. Standard rust under the battery tray. I have the new tray piece and will include with many other parts. See pics. Brand new aftermarket polished Fuchs staggered wide wheels and new tires. Brakes are new and caliper painted to match. Vinyl isn’t perfect by any means but it looks very decent and I get a lot of compliments. Ill go through it all before New owner takes it and make sure it’s all looking good. Some bubbles on corners or lifting on edges. It’s been wrapped for around a year. Car has title in hand and is registered and insured. New battery. New starter. Rebuilt clutch and brake pedal assembly. Clutch functions as it should and shifts great. Car was taken to a local shop when it was rough running. Engine was pulled. Rebuilt will all new seals. Injectors were rebuilt. Car starts and runs perfectly. Aftermarket exhaust sounds good. After car warms up it runs like junk. Mechanic says this is due to needing a new cylinder head temperature sensor which I did get and Since installed. It did not solve the problem! I now think it is a vacuum or electrician ignition issue. This should be a simple tune up for someone who knows that they are doing. Engine was fully gone through by mechanic and found to run and drive perfectly (aside from sensor). See report and feel free to call mechanic to discuss. He will remember the bright green 914! This car will need to be trailered or towed because after a few minutes of driving the car starts sputtering and wanting to die. All inside gauges work except for the speedometer. All center console gauges are original and appear to work. I didn’t have a key when I found the car so I had a new key made. It works on ignition and on the doors. The passenger side door locks and opens properly. The drivers side door needs adjustment but key does fit for it as well. I have well over $8k into this car and once small issues are sorted out this car is a blast to drive. Lots of power and on rails. Car still needs: —lock adjustment on drivers side—paint if desired—install cylinder temperature sensor (comes with car)—install rear view mirror (comes with car) —install visors (comes with car)—heater ducts have been disabled which was common practice when going big bore —glove box neeeds to be installed (comes with car)—one of the rear trunk gas shocks has failed and could be repaired if desired. One holds it up fine—speedometer cable—headlight pull probably needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Jiggling it effects the headlights.—rear tail lights are disconnected but work fine once connected. —very very very slight oil leak. Smaller than any I have ever seen on these vehicles. —center console seems very close to your driving foot. Needs to be adjusted over a bit.—interior center console light needs to be attached properly.—radio was installed but needs to be secured properly This car is awesome, looks great, is a blast to drive and will be a great example of a 2.0 Targa 914 once buttoned up. One option is to go back to points or to dual carbs like many do. I spent a lot of money on rebuilding the fuel injection so I actually like it but it’s an option. I can ship it wherever you like just let me know. Car does run and drive fine (while cold for a few minutes) so we can drive it to a shipping company or onto a truck if they can come pick it up. I’m near Fresno California. If you want any specific pics or video of me starting it up and how it sounds please email me and I can get you whatever you like. I really wish I could finish this but it just sits under a tarp in the garage and it can’t go with us to the new house. I am a total PORSCHE guy with 3 currently. I really love them and this is a great example of one of the last true air cooled street legal go carts! Especially with the big bore and wider tires and Stance. Good luck! I had some good questions from the first time I listed so here are some answers to those:1) To clarify this car is a factory 2.0 and big bore kit was added. I am not sure what size bore. 2) The fender flares are fiberglass not steel and they are all blended into front and rear fiberglass bumper covers. If you wanted to go back to stock front and rear fenders you would have to cut the front and rear bumpers away and install stock bumpers. 3) the car starts right up. Idles perfectly fine. Drives. As soon as temperature is in the engine (5 minutes or so), it becomes very rough. Idle drops, sputters, backfires. If I had the time and desire I would take it to get sorted out but we are moving and that is not an option. I have been told by a few people it could be a possible Manifold Pressure Sensor. This one appears to never have been rebuilt and does have a drill hole for adjustment in the top. 4) The front bumper cover was cracked at the bottom when I received the car so the very bottom was cut off. It actually helps for clearance too. 5) there appears to be no accidents and no frame issues whatsoever.6) this is vinyl wrapped and decent but not great. It was never supposed to be long term. It’s is definitely good enough to drive around and get by but it’s not show quality. Paint is fairly cheap. Body is straight. I planed on painting. Vinyl gets you by until then. Original car was RED. Under the vinyl is red, black and gray primer and clear to allow the vinyl to better adhere. Many gaps and compartments have black plastidip. Please only bid if you have means to ship the car or a truck that can come get it. I am moving so we must get rid of the car. You are free to come see the car or I can send you any pics of video you want. Thank you. On Jan-13-18 at 12:43:15 PST, seller added the following information: Forgot to mention: New master cylinder with all new brake lines and pads. Thanks Also, please stop bidding from countries other than the USA unless you already know how to get a truck to my house to pick up the car. I can’t keep reposting the car. I’m moving and it needs to go. Please let me know ahead of time if you are an international bidder and want to purchase the car as i will want to hear the shipping plan. Thanks again
