This 1974 example was ordered in Sunflower Yellow (L13K). Exterior features include a removable black roof panel, a chrome side mirror, a black vinyl upholstered roll bar with chrome-plated trim strips, Porsche lettering across the mid-engine ventilation grille, black bumperettes, flip-up headlights, and a single exhaust outlet.

Powered by a mid-mounted, air-cooled, and fuel-injected 1.8-liter flat-four engine, this 914 offers up to 76 HP and 100 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. Stopping power is provided by standard four-wheel disc brakes. Inspected by top reputable San Diego Porsche Mechanics at both Völlig Autowerks and Black Forest Automotive, recent service includes a new flange seal and wiper blades.

This sale will include a clean title, owner's manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, a sales brochure, a clean title, and extensive service records.

The seller would like you to know: "I've owned many Porsches over the years including 87' factory slant-nose 911 Turbo, 911SC, Boxster, etc. Every configuration- rear, mid, and front engine. This is an efficient & tight 914. Drives like the German wind-up toy, it was meant to be. I've had more compliments on this 914 than my, current, 17k mile 911 C4s, or 67k mile 968. This car is an extraordinary find. She's a beaut! Good will hunting & all the best to you, and yours. Thank you for your consideration. Vollig Porsche mechanic said, "best 914 he's seen in over 10 years." Black Forrest Porsche checked out = excellent. Porsche legend Wayne Baker drove it and loved it."

    We loaded more photos of the battery mount tray area including photos of the new battery. There are no issues, or rust. I did extensive rust inspections on this vintage 914 before purchasing it. We are happy to answer all questions. I trust that the more you see and understand this spectacular 914 Porsche, the more you will love it. Thank you for your inquiry & passions for Porsches’

    Thank you for your compliments. It’s a beautiful 914 garaged & well cared for. There are no issues regarding your comments nor per “hellhole”, etc. We will post more photos at your request later today. Also - purchased & installed new battery this year.

    Great presentation! The front end is sitting a bit high, but that's easily adjusted. The car looks super clean and really well cared for. Cinnamon interior is uncommon and great on a yellow car. If you can show pics of the hellhole area and can easily remove the rocker panels to take pics of the longitudinals, you'll remove a lot of buyer doubt and get the most out of the auction. Best of luck!

    Hello fellow Porsche enthusiast,
    I’ve owned this beautiful 914 example for several years. I purchased it from a dealer. I believe The owner of the dealership and prior original owner did most of the major restoration and meticulous maintenance. I have records, original invoice bill of sale, other 914 paraphernalia and records that will go with the sale.
