For sale in our Houston Showroom is a 1970 Porsche 914.This 914 has the 1.7L engine with a 5-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt roughly 2 years ago. The guards red paint is good shape as are the Fuchs wheels and tires.
The interior is in good condition with no rips or tears. The 914 fires right up and needs a new owner to take it for a spin. The car has had new shocks, struts, and interior installed on the car to ensure a comfortable ride. It has also received a fresh service with all the wiring for lighting serviced. Need I mention the new exhaust system that was installed to make for a smooth sounding ride.
Here's how the 914 came to be, according to Classic Motorsports: In the late 60s, Porsche needed a replacement for the 911's low-rent four-cylinder cousin, the 912. At the same time, VW needed a replacement for the Karmann-Ghia that would ideally be more than just a fanciful-bodied Beetle. Perhaps over some hefeweizen and sauerkraut, Ferry Porsche and VW executive Heinz Nordhoff hammered out an agreement where their respective companies would build the car together.
The car would be designed by Porsche and powered by a VW engine, and under their original plan, both manufacturers were to get a version of the car. But after Nordhoff died, a new executive mandated that the car be sold in Europe as the "VW-Porsche 914." In America, it was simply sold as a Porsche.
As one might expect from the car's size, weight, and mid-engine architecture, the handling is quite sharp.
