1974 914 2.0
Presented here is one of the nicest Porsche 914’s currently available for sale. This vehicle was subject to a complete and caring $60,000 rotisserie restoration plus a full mechanical restoration with upgrades. The engine was completely rebuilt and modified by Rimco of Orange, California and now generates a dyno tested 154 horsepower and 174 ft. lbs. of torque versus the original motor’s 91 horsepower and 105 ft. lbs. of torque. The end result of these improvements is an outstanding looking car with significantly more power than a stock 914.
The car is a striking guards orange with custom matching orange plaid seats. The underside of the vehicle is as clean as the topside. It sports a 5 speed manual transmission and disc brakes, both of which were fairly rare in the early 1970’s. It’s pop up headlights are always an attention getter and the removable roof makes for fun driving on sunny, warm days. A Momo steering wheel and an Alpine 6.5 Coax Series radio, Sirius radio, plus a Pioneer receiver have been added.
The current owner, a Southeast Michigan PCA member, purchased the car in 2022 from another local PCA member. Recent service includes a new fuel pump, fuel pressure gauge, relay board and cover, alternator and pulley and brake master cylinder, rear wheel bearings, shock absorbers, starter, a complete interior kit, various cables and seals, valve cover gasket and rear wiring harness. The car comes with the original steering wheel, car cover and numerous extra parts. Extensive service records and two owner’s manuals are included.
This car is a gem – cosmetically and mechanically. It is a blast to drive and a real attention getter. There are cheaper ones for sale, but not better ones.
