$18,000

Garden City, Michigan

For sale is my 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 Targa Coupe. The air cooled Porsche market is on fire and unless your willing to spend $30+k on a decent early 80's 911, the 914 is the next best thing for half the price.This example is equipped with the rarest and most sought after options combination (outside of the ultra rare and expensive 914-6) consisting of the 2.0L engine, 5-speed manual, A/C, and the appearance package. The appearance package consisted of chrome bumpers, chrome luggage rack, gauge cluster stack, and forged aluminum wheels. The engine is original to the car, runs perfectly, and has had zero modifications. The 5-speed operates flawlessly as well. It also comes with all of the original books, keys, and manuals as well as the all important service booklet is stamped from new at Central Porsche Audi in Macon, GA and service records from the second owner from Redbone Garage in Orlando, FL.The overall condition of the car is very nice. There is no rust and the hell hole is extremely clean and preserved. It was a Georgia car most of it's life then spent roughly 8 years in Clearwater, Florida, until I bought it a few months ago and shipped it up to Michigan. The interior is very clean and original with the carpet and seats showing almost no wear. The dash has a couple of small cracks, I bought it this way, but there is a high quality plastic dash pad covering it currently that looks like it's original to the car. It looks so correct that I actually didn't even notice the dash pad until I washed the car last weekend. The color is original to the car and the paint is in very good driver quality condition and with a little work it could be good, not great, show quality. I highly doubt it is original paint as it appears to have had a good quality repaint more than likely a few years ago.Everything works (lights, blinkers, horn, radio, etc...) except for only two inoperable items I've found. First is the clock does not work. Second is the odometer is not currently working. I've had a few classic Porsches over the years and the plastic gear in the housing is notorious for failing. The gentleman I bought it off of said the odometer was working when he bought it with 58k miles and only drove it about 4k miles in his 8 year ownership. With the odometer currently showing 61,045 miles, its very likely that the exact mileage is right around 61,100-61,500 as I've only drove it about 15 miles since I purchased it. The odometer issue is very common and I was confident enough in the condition of the car that I bought it knowing the odometer didn't work.I was originally going to sell this car through my classic car dealership but then I decided I liked it too much and decided to keep it. But things change and I've recently sold my dealership and now I've decided to sell my sweet little 914 as well. The first picture is the day the car arrived in my former dealership warehouse, the second is in one of my private storage garages. As you can see from the pictures, I try very hard to only deal with the highest quality vehicles I can find. It's been parked in front of my 1,900 original mile '89 Turbo Trans Am in the second picture since trailering to one of my garages. It's a quality example at a realistic market asking price given the current state of the air cooled Porsche market as well as the car itself being highly optioned with the most desirable options. I was going to order a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity before listing but it takes 3 weeks to get so I've decided to list it now.The 914 2.0 was the featured car in Hemming's Sports & Exotic Car magazine as the cover story in the July, 2012 edition along with a 6-page spread on specs, enjoyment, maintenance, and a why buy it now write up. Hemming's felt in summer 2012, 2yrs before the air cooled Porsche boom keep in mind, that $21,500 was on the high side with $16,000 as the average. I have it insured with Hagerty and their valuation guide suggests the average example value is $16,000 with a condition 2 at $24,000 and a condition 3 at $15,000. I'm a realistic buyer, seller, and collector and I know it's only worth what someone is willing to pay and I feel $18,000 is a very fair asking price for this vintage air cooled slice of Porsche bliss. Clean and clear title in hand.Email, text, or call Adam at 734-564-2881 for any questions. Please leave a voice message if I don't answer, I'll get back to you ASAP. $500 deposit due within 48 hours and remaining balance due within 7 days from date of sale. Cash, certified cashiers check, or wire transfer accepted. If paying with the latter two options, the car will not be released until 100% of the funds have cleared. I will assist with your shipper should you decide to go that route. If you've never bought a car and shipped it, it is incredibly easy to do so bid with confidence. I have the right to cancel any bids from suspicious bidders and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time as it is for sale locally. I added 4 additional photos on 5-16 of the car in the sunlight and 3 of the engine bay. A number of people have made good offers, very close to what I need for the car so if your one of the 67 people watching the listing and your a serious buyer, do not wait as there is a lot of interest. I also received a lot of questions and below are the answers: Is the fuel injection system original?-From what I can tell it is. All of the Bosch components are still there and works great. Does it shift through all 5 gears without any grinding?-Yes it does, I took it for a short cruise today and it works great. Any repairs or money to put into it?-It's a classic car and classics are always going to need something, heck, even modern cars do. But you could get in and drive it just as it is just as I do. I will say that it needs an alignment as the steering wheel is not centered straight while driving. I bought it this way and if I can get it into the shop before the end of the listing I will do so. The only other flaws I found are very tiny. A couple of the wheels have residue where wheel weights were in the past, I'll try to remove the residue if it will come off. There is a minor paint blister right above the driver's side door handle, other than that, the paint is very nice. If your local in Southeast MI, I'm planning to take it to the vintage Volkswagen show in Ypsilanti tomorrow 5/17 where it can be seen.
