The Porsche 914 was a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, intended to replace the 912 and the Karmann Ghia. Its mid-engine layout and light weight provided exceptional handling, while the standard targa top offered an open-air experience. The vast majority of the 118,000 cars produced were 914/4 models, using VW Type 4 flat-four engines in 1.7L, 1.8L, and later, a 2.0L displacement.
For decades, the 914 was an overlooked and often unloved model in Porsche's history, but that has changed dramatically. Collectors now appreciate its distinctive 1970s styling, brilliant driving dynamics, and its status as a more affordable entry into vintage Porsche ownership compared to a 911 of the same era. The 2.0-liter cars are the most sought-after of the 4-cylinder models for their added power and torque.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the number one enemy. Inspect the area under the battery tray, known as the 'hell hole,' along with the longitudinals, floor pans, and suspension mounting points.
- Check the condition of the Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection on 1.7L and 2.0L models. Many have been converted to carburetors, which can be simpler but may affect originality and value.
- The 901-type 5-speed transmission can be vague. Test for worn synchros, especially on 1st and 2nd gear, which can be expensive to repair.
- Verify the removable targa top fits snugly and its seals are in good condition. A warped top or bad seals will lead to wind noise and water leaks.
- The 2.0L cars are the most desirable, but a well-sorted 1.7L or 1.8L offers the same great handling for less money. Don't discount a good car just because it has a smaller engine.
