914 2.0

1974 Porsche 914 2.0, Correct Drivetrain, Mid-Engined Targa=Fun in the Sun!

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 23rd year in the classic and muscle car business. The Porsche 914 was developed in the late 1960's from a joint venture between Volkswagen and Porsche as a replacement for their aging Karmann Ghia and 912 models, respectively. Long overlooked by collectors and Porschephiles alike, these well-balanced, lightweight Targas are finally receiving the recognition that they've long deserved. With a curb weight of just over 2000 lbs., distributed perfectly 50/50 front to rear with a full tank of fuel, these elemental sports cars hold great appeal with experienced drivers. Our Light Ivory (L80E) 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 is a delightful example of what is effectively a street legal go-cart for adults. Nestled in the engine bay is the more desirable 2.0L engine (EN GA011524) that, according to our research, is original to the car. Additional features include a fully independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes, a 5-speed manual transmission (HA27093), front and rear spoilers, orange houndstooth upholstery, and 205/60R15 tires wrapped around alloy wheels. In addition to the previously mentioned attributes, a low center of gravity and short front and rear overhangs further contribute to the slot car handling. Proof? Our local "Dead Man's Curve" became "Happy Joy Curve" that can be taken at 70 mph without squealing a tire! If this German road scalpel appeals to you, now's the time; the 914/6's are already out of reach for most of us and the 2.0L cars are sure to follow. Another gem from the team that can make your dream a reality. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
