1972 Porsche 914 for sale
Current customer rating: (243 votes ) based onWhen I bought the car it still wore its original fuel injection that will accompany the sale. I replaced it with a pair of Weber 40 IDF carburetors soon after for a bit more power. These carbs breathe into a 1. 7l block that has been built out to 2. 0l specs. Ninety-four (94) mm pistons are mated with 2. 0l heads and a mild cam to make this Type IV motor scream. The original heat exchanges are still present so it has perfectly functioning heat. At the back. a new Bursch muffler lets everything exhale nicely.
914 09726 has recently benefited from an engine out service and reseal. New piston rings. jug rings. pushrod tube seals. main seals and valve cover gaskets were installed. The valves have just been adjusted and fresh oil and filter added. This motor starts easily and pulls strongly. Triple digits on the highway are reached in a breeze. yet it will still get 30mpg when driven conservatively.
The original tail shift 901 gearbox has been swapped for the newer. more precise side-shift unit. It shifts well into all five gears plus reverse and the clutch has plenty of life in it.
Rust can be a killer on these old Porsches. Due to its western origins this 914 shows very little car cancer. The floors. suspension mounts. rocker. and bottom of the firewall are all solid and don't show any signs of rust. The beloved “hell-hole” underneath the battery tray has a 2. 5” hole on the inner portion but the frame and engine support are all sound without rust. 914 09726 was originally fitted with dealer installed air conditioning. It has since been removed and the hole underneath the spare tire where the condenser resided has been patched.
The 356 and 911 craze of the last few years has put these cars out of reach for most enthusiasts. The 914 represents the last of the affordable air-cooled Porsches. The mid-engine layout makes these cars handle like they're on rails and its VW roots make it efficient and easy to work on. Feel free to email with questions or to arrange a time to come see 914 09726.

**Note to eBay bidders. for some reason eBay has listed this car as having 6 cylinders (couldn't be changed for some reason). As is noted the main description. in the pictures and by the VIN this is a 914-4 with a 4 CYLINDER Type IV motor. not a 914-6. I just wanted everyone to be clear. Feel free to contact me with questions. Thanks!
