Among the final iteration of Porsche’s mid-rear engine air-cooled sports car, this 1975 Porsche 914 2.0 has been upgraded with a 2.4-liter displacement. Benefitting from a meticulous frame-off restoration in 2014 that included a fresh white finish over tan leatherette and suede upholstery, the car also features a rear decklid spoiler, 5-lug Porsche 911 Fuchs wheels, and upgraded brakes. This 914 is now being offered for auction once again by its seller out of California.
Refinished in white as part of a frame-off restoration in 2014, this example rides on upgraded 5-lug Porsche 911 Fuchs wheels dressed in Falken tires from 2011 and 2015. Equipment includes a white-painted removable hard top, pop-up headlights, black rubber bumpers, integrated front fog lights, dual mirrors, and a period-correct rear decklid spoiler with embedded Porsche lettering. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is appointed with tan leatherette and suede upholstery, complemented by a black carpet dashboard cover and grey carpeted floors. Equipment includes front bucket seats, a center armrest, roll-up windows, a speaker system, and an upgraded head unit. All gauges and accessories are reported to be in proper working order, although the parking brake is inoperable.
Power is provided by an originally 2.0-liter flat-four engine, bored out to a larger displacement of 2.4 liters. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed dog-leg manual transmission. Enlarged brakes have also been fitted, eliminating the need for a parking brake, and the battery has been moved to the trunk area. The seller notes that the gearbox can be a bit notchy at times and may pop out of first gear if not fully engaged, making it somewhat stubborn to shift out of first.
This sale will include a clean title.

How does the dash look? Any cracks? I notice you have it covered.
Nice car. Why would the emergency brake be eliminated because of larger brakes?
