Yes it's true a 914 is on my top 10 DREAM CAR list. Literally.
So that's what it was..
I saw a red one off of N Druid Hills a month or two back and had no idea what it was.
Yep.
Here is my old one.I only had it for like a month but fell in love with it and had sex with it.
+reps One of my favs too!
okay so i absolutely love the look of these cars, but i do have one question. why are the pedals so far over to the right? it looks as if you would almost have to kinda sit crooked? is there any specific reason that you know of?
all in all good find, seems like a fun car to build.
ive got tiger blood in me, why? because i am the carbon copy of charlie sheen only fatter. thats bi-winning right there.
They are all the way to the right, you sit crooked, it's hard to get use to, especially with the dogleg gearbox that is VERY hard to use lol.Originally Posted by bigdom
I don't know if there is a real reason they're like that.
They're fun to be around, it's just hard to find one that's not rusted out and parts aren't that cheap for them.
I wouldn't say it would make it into my top 10 list but I've always loved these cars. Every time I talk about them I get made fun of.
I love 914s. My dad is the original owner of a '74 914 2.0, but he is still kicking himself for selling his 914-6 GT 20 or so years ago.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
Damn, I would too, a 914-6 these days is gold even as just a rusted down shell.
I have always loved "the poor man's Porsche." But really only in its stock form. Some of them look pretty good with kits and all, but I prefer the stock body. I remember back in 1985 telling everyone that "one day, I will own a Porsche." And I stand by that. I will have one one day. I'm not particular on which one except that I will not take one made after 1989. I prefer the 70s models, though. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
The 924 is the "Poor Man's Porsche". The 914 was the rich man's VW lol!
Didn't see this one in the ones you posted. Found it on the wiki page for Porsche 914, and it has a GA tag! I love the color on this one.
Nice!
This one here is a local Athens guy, he has this one which has a 350 V8 in it, an LS1 swapped one which is entirely built ground up really, and a SVX Subaru 6 swapped one. That's actually my old silver one next to the orange one he bought it from me and sold it to someone else who is putting a V8 in it.
I think I have ridden in this car before lol. I have been to a 914 meet or two around here. Seen a lexus v8 swapped, and a ej25 swapped one in person.Didn't see this one in the ones you posted. Found it on the wiki page for Porsche 914, and it has a GA tag! I love the color on this one.
Har to find in good condition. I have wanted a cremesicle one for the longest time.

The SVX one sounds interesting. Not your typical swap.
My favorite one was one that I saw a while back with an STi Swap

When i attend HSR meetings, it's always great to see the 914s fight the 60's and early 70's 911s.
One of the most important 914's of all time was this one.
It is THE 914-6 that beat all the 911s in the 1970 Le Mans finishing first in class and 5th overall! It's story isn't well remembered because 1970 was the year the 917 finally took Porsche's first win at the Grand Prix d'Endurance. The car was run by France's Établissement Sonauto and driven by Claude Ballot-Léna and Guy Chasseuil.
The only cars that finished ahead of it were all 5 liter sports racing cars of the day and 1 prototype 908/2.
1st: Porsche 917K - 343 Laps
2nd: Porsche 917L - 338 Laps
3rd: Porsche 908/2L - 335 Laps
4th: Ferrari 512S - 313 Laps
5th: Ferrari 512S - 305 Laps
6th: Porsche 914/6 GT - 285 Laps
7th: Porsche 911S - 282 Laps
not enough pictures lolol. awesome car though. id drive one for sure
NICE!
Peek-a-boo mofucka what now?!

1972 Porsche 916 – one of only 11 made is on the market for $495,000

911 Spirit:
Porsche 916 was unveiled at the 1971 Paris Auto Salon. The model was planned as the ultimate iteration of the 914 before the 914 had even entered production.
Even though the car had 914 body, it was much more than just a modified version of it. Flared fenders were added covering 7-inch wide Fuchs five spoke wheels, a steel roof instead of a targa top for improved rigidity, body colored fiberglass bumpers.
It looked lower and more sleek than the heavy chromed bumpers of the 914. The front air dam had a large cutout in front for the oil cooler, and two smaller flanking cutouts for fog lights. The rear bumper was molded in a simple fashion with only one small hole for the exhaust, and a molded flat surface for mounting the license tags.
Interior was finished with luxurious leather and velour. The traditional 914 door panels were replaced with lighter components, including a small plastic door pull, and flexible fabric map pockets. The car was fitted from the factory with a Becker AM/FM Cassette stereo, which was quite advanced for 1972. It also had a special antenna molded into the windshield for increased reception, with the added benefit of maintaining smooth body lines.
Real difference compared to the 914 was sitting directly behind the driver. 2.4 liter engine from the 911S with 190 horsepower at 6500 rpm, and 159 pound feet of torque at 5200 rpm. Power was sent to rear wheels via reworked traditional-shift-pattern type 915 transmission.
The 916 was 165 pounds lighter than the 911S, making it the quickest production Porsche at the time. 0-60 mph came in under seven seconds and top speed was 145 mph.
Mid-engined layout, powerful engine and a light weight sounded like a winning formula, but reality was far different.
Porsche’s initial plan to was to produce 20 cars By the mid-October Paris Auto Salon, only a few had been built, and one was shown to judge consumer response. Consumers were very receptive to the 916 as a concept; however, the receptivity turned to anguish when they glimpsed the pricing structure. Potential customers could not justify the nearly $14,000 for a 916, especially when a 911S could be had for less.
After the show a few more units were built and soon the the production was stopped. Only 11 cars were built and only one was officially exported to the United States by Porsche. It is the only 916 to receive US certification, use US spec 911S equipment, and have US-style indicator lights.
Porsche 916 never had an air conditioning option, but Porsche importer Peter Gregg(owner of Brumos Porsche+Audi in Florida) assured Porsche that his team would engineer the air conditioning system for the 916 if Porsche would provide them with a car.
When Gregg arrived at the port to pick up the car, the velour seat inserts had rotted clean through due to the salty air. He later replaced them with layered gradient Porsche logo cloth inserts. When Porsche pulled the plug on 916 production, the car stayed with him at Brumos.
Today the car is owned by Mr. George Hussey, owner of Automobile Atlanta, who bought it back in 1993 from its second owner. Now this very rare mid-engined classic Porsche is on the market for $495,000. Its present condition is just as it was when in arrived in Florida almost 40 years ago. For more details contact Auto Atlanta.
I just like smaller displacement engines, therefore I'm a huge fan of the 356, 914, and 912s. I've been looking around for a good 912, but like too many classics, they are either rusted out or cost too much.
Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...
This old fuck in my neighborhood has one. Don't really like it...
It's because you have an Audi.
theres one of those down here for cheap right now... and it looks like its in great condition.
theres a old guy down here that has one and does a mix between 93 octane, 103 octane, and 87 octane in his garage to get close to 90mpg. sounds crazy but hes a very smart guy and always hangs out at a shop that works on my rail buggy
Here's one more contribution from me.
The 1 of 1 1969 Porsche 914-8 built for Ferry Porsche.
Ever been in a Dodge Viper? You sit crooked in them too lol!
What 8-cylinder were they building back then? V or boxer?!
It was a boxer.
Don't be so sure. This really does need looking into.
Boxer is one of the most incorrectly used terms.
I'll have to check on the cross/flat.
Well it was a flat 8 I think. Just speaking what I've read. Sorry.
I always screw up differences in boxer and flat engines.
True, it would be a flat-8 then. It was apparently 310hp version of the Porsche 908 engine. Both cars were designed under Ferdinand Piech...
i have wanted one of these ever since the age of 12
Here are a few pics of my old one just to add more to the thread.
It was stock minus exhaust, wheels, Koni's, carb conversion, and that's about it I think.
