1975 Porsche 914

Description

This gorgeous yellow 1975 Porsche 914 is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. Originally intending to sell the vehicle with a flat four-cylinder engine as a Volkswagen and with a flat six-cylinder engine as a Porsche, Porsche decided during development that having Volkswagen and Porsche models sharing the same body would be risky for business in the American market, and convinced Volkswagen to allow them to sell both versions as Porsches in North America. Over the seven model years, Porsche made a number of changes to the 914. Some of these changes were cosmetic and others were in response to changing crash protection standards. From 1970 to 1974, the 914 was offered with chrome or painted bumpers. In early 1970, rear bumpers were produced with a straight crease on either side of the license plate indent. Between 1970 and 1972, both front and rear bumpers were smooth without bumper guards. In 1973, bumper guards were added to the front of the car. In 1974, guards were also added to the rear bumper. In 1975 and 1976, the chrome or painted bumpers were replaced with heavy, rubber-covered units which actually made the cars more stable at high speeds. Purchased in 2010 by the current owner the car has been driven less than a 1000 miles. Before being purchased in 2010, the 914 had been stored away since 1993. The bright yellow paint has been repainted, but the rest of this neat little Porsche is all original. Options on this 1975 Porsche 914 include; AM/FM with Cassette Player, Seat Belts, Removable Targa Top, and Aluminum Alloy Wheels wrapped in new Radial Tires.
