The Porsche 914 was a joint effort between Porsche and Volkswagen in the late 1960s and 1970s. It combined a mid-engine layout, a lightweight targa-topped body, and either a VW-sourced flat-4 engine (914/4) or a Porsche flat-6 (914/6). This partnership created an agile and well-balanced sports car that was less expensive than the 911.
Collectors are drawn to the 914 for its pure, analog driving experience and its status as an affordable entry into classic Porsche ownership. The 914/6 is the most sought-after model, with only about 3,350 ever built, making it significantly rarer and more valuable than the 4-cylinder versions. Its mid-engine design provides handling characteristics that are distinct from its rear-engine 911 sibling.
The market for the 914 is broad, with an average sale price around $31,000. While basket-case projects can be found for very little, pristine examples and genuine 914/6 models command premium prices. The market has shown consistent appreciation for solid, rust-free cars, making them a solid choice for enthusiasts looking for a classic that's fun to drive and own.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the number one enemy. Thoroughly inspect the battery tray area (the 'hell hole'), longitudinals, floor pans, and suspension mounting points.
- Differentiate between the 914/4 and 914/6. Verify the engine and chassis numbers on a 914/6 to ensure it isn't a clone, which are common.
- Check the condition of the targa top and all its seals. Leaks are frequent and can lead to interior damage and hidden rust in the floors.
- The early tail-shift gearbox (1970-1972) can be vague. The later side-shift version (1973-1976) is a notable improvement, but worn bushings can cause sloppy shifting in any model.
Prices range from under $1,000 for project cars to $220,000 for concours-quality 914/6 models.
