Vehicle Detail

1974 Porsche 914 1.7L Targa/Convertible This car is beautiful, fun and fast. Starts up and rides smooth. This Porsche is so smooth! Great for the classic car enthusiast or the hipsters who want to look like a secret agent from the 70's. This is a serious head turner. Engine is strong, transmission shifts nicely, and it corners/handles excellently. I would absolutely love to hold on to this car and make it into a trophy winner, but I have other obligations. The Good Stuff – Strong engine, smooth transmission. New tires, brakes are ok. Targa top in good shape, rubber and latches all there. The seats are not ripped, look and feel good. The Paint is shiny, not new or perfect, but a very nice look. All lights work, headlights, turn signals, fog lights, brake lights, headlights pop up like they should. Glass is all there, no cracks, beautiful midnight tint job – you can't see in. The floor, engine compartment, “hell hole”, trunks and under have all been fiberglassed – hard as a rock. The rust issues on the 914 are usually bad – with the fiberglass job, the main places on this car have been dealt with nicely. Nice stock wheels, windows rolls up and down as they should. Porsche upgraded rear logo reflector. Steering is tight. Body is straight, front/rear fenders look great – no rust, no dents, no noticeable dings/scratches. Accelerates quick, hits 60mph in a few seconds. I promise, you won't find a better starting point for a full restoration than this car. The Not so Good Stuff – Emergency brake cable is broken (new one comes with the deal). Windshield wipers, emergency flashers don't work (I think its a fuse?). Interior Heater doesn't turn on, this may be a fuse as well. Radio, there but isn't hooked up. Battery is waining. It has an oil leak (most vintage VW/Porsche engines do). It is currently strong but makes a noise (mechanic says it could need a spark plug and new piston bearings). I'm not a gear head so I found this to be amazing, because aside from the sound its strong and fast like it is. It could use adjustments to engine/transmission – runs but a tune-up would make a difference. Could inexpensively be made into daily driver/show car. The REALLY Good – This deal comes with an EXTRA engine AND and EXTRA transmission. The last owner said both of these work and that there is nothing wrong with them. ALSO I have 2 large tubs of extra parts to go with it. The original carpet comes with it. Many of the parts are worth $$$. So, you get a beautiful 914 that looks great, drives well AND you get a garage full of parts to go with it. If you're looking for something to turn into a show car or a race car this is the one. I would LOVE to keep it, but I just can't. This will be one of those things that I will look back on and kick myself about... My loss your gain. All in all, these Porsche 914's are becoming one of the most sought after Classic's on the market today!
