This is a 1972 Porsche 914, you can buy her for a fraction of what was spent on her.!! The pictures will do the talking…. The reserve barely covers the paint job.
With the beautiful driving weather ahead, this car draws attention whether is speeding down the road or just parked!! It is a very presentable documented from
The Porsche Club. And in 1972, there were 21,579 Porsches manufactured and this one is number 729 off production.!
This is a 914 Porsche 1.8 L in bright torch PPG red. This is a 3 year total rebuild by employed Porsche mechanic that took this car down to bare metal. I am not a Porsche aficionado but have been selling over the past year or so my late father’s collection of autos. He spent over $100,000 on his car collection which included 1938 Packard to 1961 Lincolns and then 3 TVRs and now what I wanted to keep for myself this Porsche 914. There is quite a following of experts that know everything about these mid engine, “engine in front”, of the rear wheel. It is a car that most people don’t know what year Porsche it is. I get looked at and people would say, “is that the new Porsche?” With the engine in front of the rear axle, it is a very balanced auto, corner grabbing roller coaster ride.
This 1972, 914 is one of the most desirable 914’s chrome bumper, pre pollution mandated horsepower robbing 914 Porsches built. With 1974 being the year pollution control equipment/ catalytic converters etc. This is a totally rebuilt engine full aspirated imported Dell ‘orto carburetor setup with dual exhaust, new brakes, new shocks, powder coated engine area in mind blowing powder coated purple, it is a real looker! As you can see $1000s were spent on her. And sadly when completed, it was driven sparingly, no out of state trips, and dry weather driven only and garage kept always.
I am not that well versed in all that went into her, window and interior, drive train, bumpers, all weather stripping, everything came out, and taken down to bare metal. No battery area issues, but the battery was relocated to front trunk area in plastic battery box specially made for the relocation to a more sensible location! I can only talk about what I see not knowing the total money spent by my father who kept few records as to avoid issues with mom. It has new tires, and also the front bumper guards come with it, as does the original seatbelts if you wish to change to those. It does have full immobilizing cut off key switch mounted behind the rear window area so she wont get stolen! ( see photo)
This is a high 28 to 30 miles per gallon 5 speed with overdrive 1972-- 914. Also this 914 comes under classic car status. And because of this my father had full coverage and full liability insurance costing less than $100 per year in New Jersey!!! Go find this with a Corvette or Camaro.
So if you are looking at 914s on eBay then you probably know more about them than I do. And with a new paint job down to bare metal PPG Red with clear coat to new seats and door panels, new dash, all gauges working, and all lights working , and turn signals working and of course this does not have AC as few 914 did, I have no idea why anyone would want AC as it can be driven with the top off and placed in the trunk like a convertible.
This Porsche has under gone ground up replacement of what was ever needed and improved. And only Mobil 1 synthetic oil used.
She is presently stored inside As always in a warehouse that is climate controlled, where the Lincolns and Packard were also kept and now sold on eBay to happy buyers and myself having 100% positive feedback.
If you are the lucky winner, keep in mind the following:
This vehicle has a very, very , very LOW reserve, I am letting it go for this low
Reserve because we presently have the lease up on the storage of my dad’s vehicles, the storage fees are too high and we are just trying to get these vehicles sold as to simply our lives.
This Porsche was driven last year and placed in storage, however when it was last driven, it likes to go fast. The idle on this car would need to be checked out as the Dellorto carbs are running somewhat rich. But it is nothing that a good mechanic that knows of these Porsche could certainly remedy. And because of this reason, the car would need to be towed to the the desired location and worked on. We just do not want to spend any more money on her because the new owner might want to switch out the carbs to Webers or just adjust these Dellortos. It is up to the new owners . Which is why we would be glad to have you come look at it or we could send you more pics if necessary. Additonally, I took a video of this car before it went into storage for the winter and you can see it on the following website:
porsche914.net
(It will take about 1 or 2 minutes to load this video, please be patient. Thank you)
If anyone would want any more information, or any more pictures of this auto please send us a message on eBay and we will send off any more pics you may want.
Quite frankly, you would be getting a great vehicle for the low reserve that it is set at. ($4,500 low reserve) Anyone, willing to come and check this vehicle out also please do so and we can set up a time.
This is not an auto to put the kids in and drive across states. It has 4 point seat belt setup ( see photo) and the original seatbelts can be provided as well.
Well, it is truly a very pretty uncomplicated 914 that is great on gas and turns heads wherever it goes.!! Oh yes, it is somewhat loud with the dual 4 pipe exhaust and not the original banana muffler ( Thank God )
It is from 1972 and not a new $100,000 Porsche and as such is being sold as is, no dents, no cracks, no accidents.
Well, thank you for looking and Good Luck in bidding…!!!

Porsche is having a good sales year in the US, with 25,129 vehicles delivered year-to-date coming off the automaker's best July sales ever. That's a 31-percent increase over the same period last year (19,253 deliveries). With year-to-date Panamera sales a surprising 36 percent lower than last year, what possibly could be driving Porsche's sales surge? If you answered Cayman and Boxster sales, you're right. But dealerships are noticing another factor: more women are coming in to buy Porsches, CNBC reports, the bulk of whom picked up new Cayenne SUVs. The German automaker's sales to women in the US have more than doubled in the past two years, increasing from 7 percent to 15 percent. This has helped year-to-date Cayenne sales reach 11,082 - 31 percent higher than the same time last year.
Porsche executives have been trying to tap into the women's market, as evidenced in part by the company's move to pick professional tennis player Maria Sharapova as a brand ambassador. Porsche maintains it has not moved to dramatically change its brand image, but it has shown a number of ads in recent years that uncharacteristically emphasize its vehicles' practicality under the "Engineered for Magic. Everyday" banner - some featuring female drivers.
Be sure to watch CNBC's video report on Porsche's female movement below - you'll also find one of the aforementioned Engineered For Magic ads as well as an interesting case study video on the campaign from ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.

Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
1975 porsche 914/6 2.7 euro powered rocket-- 200+hp carrera engine/suspension
Porsche 914 targa
1974 porsche 914
1975 porsche 914/6 2.7rs powered rocket-- 200+hp carrera engine/suspension
1974 porsche 914/6 conversion 3.2 zambezi green and black(US $34,500.00)
