My dad just bought a 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 4 cylinder at a car auction. It has a new white paint job and is in pristine condition. First id like to know a ball park of what is worth, just for kicks cause we don't plan to resell it any time soon, and Id like to know what inexpensive mods i can do to improve it and make it feel more like mine.
I am a highschool senior soon to be college student and am super excited about owning this car. It will be replacing a 1973 mg b that was my first car. Right now the car is parked without plates waiting to be bought by me from my dad and as a way to relieve some of my excitement I have been doing research and forum browsing.

Very nice starter Porsche; my first was a '73 914 2.0 appearance group I bought new from Porsche in 1973 when I was your age.
Just don't let friends drive it and be careful when you drive it. That car is worth some money and is a piece of 914 history. As far as modifying it.... I would get rid of the bumper tits (even though that would not be stock) and return the remainder of the car to as stock as possible with the exception of a nice mellow exhaust. Then detail the heck out of it. Good luck and happy motoring! |

I agree with debreasting mod and will definately do some research on that EDIT: after looking a little i havent been able to find anything very conclusive. Am i looking for a fiberglass pad set, or a whole new bumper in order to detitsify. If anyone has an info readily available please let me know. |
