Chassis Number: 4732919172
A completely different Porsche emerged for the 1970 model year to replace the rather short-lived 912. This one carried either the 1679cc Volkswagen four-cylinder or the earlier 2.0-liter Porsche flat six with its 125-horsepower rating. The big difference was that the engines were mid-mounted. The 914 was born out of a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen with bodies created by Karmann. The two-seat Targa-topped coupe was built to a Porsche design with suspension components adopted from the 911. Four wheel disc brakes were installed and the removable fiberglass top could be stored in the trunk. The 914 was produced in fairly large numbers until its production ended in 1976.
The 914 offered here is a 1973 smog-exempt California car that has been completely restored to “as new” showroom condition. It is finished in tangerine with black and gray interior. The options include a five-speed transmission, sunroof and alloy wheels. It has traveled 55,600 miles from new. This is a very well restored example.
