My 1974 Porsche 914 ~~VIN # 4742920189~~ Free Shipping is Included in the "buy it now" Price for all Buyers. Production Specs for this car: Mileage: 37,737 VIN # 4742920189 All matching numbers About my 914 Targa: This is a fun little car that get 30+ mpg and 40 years later can still out corner many modern cars. The parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive. Also, you definitely won’t see many others on the road. Prices have started moving up and now is the time to buy in if you want one. For those who know about these cars (and those who doesn’t), RUST is the single biggest issue with a 914. I once made the mistake of buying a "good deal" and then spent over $15K for rust repair and new paint alone. So what did I have after I was done? I had a great looking car with no obvious rust that I put a lot of money into and was worth half of my total investment after I was done restoring the interior, engine work, etc.. In other words, I learned my le$$on the hard way. That lesson whether it be Porsches or Honda Civics is always buy the nicest example you can afford. If you are buying a 914 (whether mine or another) always buy the best example you can. However, in the long term you will be much further ahead. Please, do your own research and you will see what I am talking about. The car below is an example of the kind of 914 you want to buy. The paint job is GOOD; It is a "show and drive" quality. It’s a paint job that maybe will not win a national PCA event; however, you will probably win ALL local/regional shows. What makes this car standout from the pool of 914’s that are out on ebay? • No structural rust! As you can see the longitudinal and jack points are solid. The trunks are solid. • Low mileage car that has never been wrecked • Original and desirable 2.0L engine with 5 speed manual transmission and factory AC. All the good options. The transmission is a very nice example of the 914 with no second gear syncro issues and the engine pulls strongly with no hesitation, or strange noises, etc. • Original Fuel Injection system that works fantastic. No need of non stock carburetors. • Fantastic exhaust sound system :) • The heat works well. Both blowers work! • Console with gauges. • Engine seals replaced…no leaks on the ground • The weather-stripping/seals on this car are super tight. It doesn’t leak (rare for a 914) • Original AC • Rebuilt pedal cluster • This car needs NOTHING to drive and enjoy right now. You can even fly in and drive it home! • The brake calipers are rebuilt and respray • New tires • Paint is amazing What are some of the "weak" points of the car? • No factory tool kit. Most cars are missing them and this one is no exception. So, why am I selling? I have too many cars and I am downsizing b/c I cant drive all of them and my garages and driveway is start being too full to move them around and it is not fun anymore. So, I am planning just to keep 5 cars. Feel free to ask any questions. Many of the nicer 914’s are going overseas; so, if you are an overseas buyer I have dealt with shippers before. I sold my 1967 Mercedes sl250 pagoda buyer from England last year and another 914 1.7 to France. Payment via wire transfer or cash. About her price?
