For Sale: 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 - Atlanta, GA
Aug 9th, 2009 by sprice
Update 08/20/2009: This car has been sold. Thanks, Bill! Everyone else, thanks for your interest.
Due to an upcoming move, I am selling my beloved 1973 Porsche 914 2.0. This is generally considered the most valuable year and option package for the 4 cylinder 914s. It is an older restoration with no significant rust issues (extremely rare for these cars). The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and the car has been driven little since. It has the side shift 5 speed transmission, front and rear sway bars, center console, and upgraded exhaust with stainless heat exchangers. The heat actually works.
This car has the original fuel injection system (again, very rare in these cars) and runs great. The motor is powerful and smooth. It needs a couple of cosmetic items I don’t have time to fix in the near future so I am discounting the car. These issues are minor. Ex: paint bubble on trunk lid, glue down dash cover, front spoiler needs to be reattached. The area under the battery, side reinforcements, and other critical areas are in great shape.
The low retail on this 2.0 model is over $12,000 according to NADA. Due to this move I’m selling it for $6000 obo. Please respond by email. No tire kickers. No owner financing offered. Thanks for your interest.
See pictures, attached.
Notes on pictures
I found two minor rust spots on the bottom of the car that should be fixed and painted or undercoated. One was a small section of reinforcement rib on the driver’s side about 1/2 of the way down the car. It looks like a small section (1″) was cut and folded over. The other is a spot on the rear bottom jack pad (corner near engine compartment). There is a quarter sized area where rust is starting. The rust in the rear trunk is superficial. I drilled three small holes to help it drain in the off chance that water ever gets in there again. There is no sign of this currently happening.
In these pictures, you can also see the small bubbles on the rear lid and one near the front lid on the 1/4 panel. You may notice some “brown stuff” on the back of the engine compartment and some in the front trunk. That’s from where carpet and insulating material was glued on. I still have these pieces if you want them but my intent was to clean those areas when I had time and leave the junk off.
I’m trying to be as honest as possible about the condition of this car. I do believe that it’s in truly rare shape, especially in this price range. If you want to see any additional pictures, please comment or email me and I will oblige.
