FS: 1974 Porsche 914 1.7L - reduced to $7500

The time has come to sell my 914 that I have owned for 12 years. I purchased this in 2012 from a 914 World member as a learning project for my sons and I to work on together. This has been my “seasonal dry daily driver” putting on typically 1,500 miles a year commuting to and from work. It has a clean NC title and runs and shifts smoothly (as smooth as a 914). It has always been garaged and never driven in the rain. When purchased, it had bad rust issues with the rear floor plan, lower firewall, and rear passenger suspension ear and since I don’t have those skills, I had John Forbes (Black Forest Racing) cut out and replace the floor pan, lower rear fire wall and the suspension ear (receipt attached as a photo). I instructed John to go through it and make it a safe driver, not a concourse car. John’s shop did a great job, but it took about a year to complete.
I want to thank all you on the World who’ve helped me over the years; it has been a wonderful ride. However it’s time to pass it on to the next owner. I have original shop manuals, repair books, a few boxes of parts, and some artwork that are included in the above price. I’ll continue to add photos to this posting until its sold. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
