1975 Porsche 914 Targa

Description

The affordable, fun, and nimble German sportscar has really come into its own on the classic market. This 1975 Porsche 914 has a great color combo and the unmistakable feeling of a great driving machine engineered in Stuttgart. And it's all available today at an affordable price.

The 914's design was one of the most interesting Porsche ever made. It follows the same principal of the 911 that made sure the tall fender line helped you understand where the front edges of the car were, but then it adds is a completely sleek front end with the aid of pop up headlights. Silver seems to be the ideal color for this coupe. It has a great presentation in the sunshine, which is exactly where you're going to be spending plenty of time thanks to the targa top. Plus, the hue coordinates nicely with the darker elements such as the bumpers, roof, and b-pillar. In fact, the upgraded 15-inch Fuchs-style wheels have a cool style as they combine the silver and black on this car.

A later model 914 also means a more comfortable interior that includes an optional center console. This is a nicely presented space with cloth inserts in the bucket seats that you'll find particularly nice on sunny days with the targa top out. The sale even comes with a new dash cap. This is a true driver's car at its heart with the classic Porsche sports steering wheel, and a stick shift that's perfectly positioned for your right hand. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the motor.

It's hard to look in the engine bay and not make comparisons to the modern Boxster. After all, the 1.7-liter flat-four motor is mounted in the center to give you the best balance on the road. And just like the Boxster, this setup also gives you two trunks. You can see some newer components, and the consignor states this includes a new carburetor and fuel pump. The way this one fires up and runs strong reaffirms the feeling of a solid investment. This has a terrific driving package with the five-speed transmission, fully independent suspension, and new tires. Plus, the four-wheel disc brakes include new rotors, pads, lines, master cylinder, and rebuilt calipers.

Complete with owner's manual. This is the strong-running and nimble classic Porsche that's surprisingly within reach. So don't miss this deal. Call now!
