Hi all..
I am new to 914s. Dreamed about them when I was a kid but never really could afford one. Now.. I am looking at a 1974 porsche 914-4 with 1.8L engine. The owner says its got 84k miles on the chassis, and 6k on a rebuilt engine. Newer brakes. Silver with black interior. Fuel injected. He's asking 6k. Is that too much? Should I expect to walk into a lot of work right off the bat? Any tips as to what I should look for when examining the car. I am not a mechanic. Do I need to be to own one of these? I hope not because they are amazing and I want one :-). Thanks in advance, David |

Thanks everyone, again, for the info.
Apparently, High Perf Porsche has a 1.8L 914 for sale for not too much money. They sound pretty trustworthy, so if it looks okay I will snag it. Its not in perfect shape, but he (rich) says its reliable. What kind of gas do you put in a 914? can they take premium unleaded or does it have to be 87? I boost the gas in my current car with NOS, is that a bad idea for a 914? Thanks everyone! I'm pretty excited. |
