Power comes from a 1.7-liter air-cooled flat-4 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 914’s mid-engine configuration, with the engine positioned ahead of the rear axle, gives it a distinctive weight distribution and handling character. Unlike the traditional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports cars of the period, Porsche’s 914 was designed around this compact mid-engine layout. It also features four-wheel disc brakes, concealed headlamps, and dual exhaust outlets with twin tips.

The exterior is complemented by 14-inch black and polished five-spoke Fuchs-style alloy wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. The black removable Targa roof panel allows for open-air motoring while retaining the distinctive profile of the 914. A spare tire is included in the front trunk. Also a factory black mesh rear engine deck lid grille featuring individual gold P-O-R-S-C-H-E block lettering.

Inside, the black cockpit features VDO instrumentation, a four-spoke steering wheel, manual-crank windows, and a push-button radio. The cabin is fitted with twin high-back bucket seats with integrated headrests. An interesting detail of the 914 is its front and rear luggage compartments. Thanks to its mid-engine design, Porsche was able to provide storage at both ends of the car, making this compact sports car more practical than its proportions might suggest.

Combining air-cooled Porsche engineering, a 5-speed manual transmission, and removable-roof versatility, this 914/4 offers a distinctive example of Porsche’s early mid-engine sports car. Contact us today to learn more about this example that is mechanically sound. For $26,500
