Features 5-speed. original polished wheels. and removable Targa roof! With Porsche hoping to keep a broad market range of models. an entry level series was necessary to keep the showrooms full and sales tallying up in the books! With the help of Volkswagen. and a mid-engine design offering balanced weight distribution and exceptionally nimble handling characteristics. Porsche offered the 914 alongside the 912 in the 4 cylinder lineup. Not only was it quickly recognized as an inexpensive way to own a Porsche. it was soon nicknamed the “Poor Man’s Porsche” even among enthusiasts! A reputation of being quick. reliable. loaded with sporty attributes. and offering respectable gas mileage. they continue to be highly sought after for weekend cruising. or slightly modified for weekend racing!! Offered here is a well-kept 1972 Porsche 914 1. 7 Targa finished in Tangerine over black interior! It is now powered by 1973 date-coded 1971cc 2. 0L horizontal 4 cylinder engine (GA004688) providing a factory rated 95 horsepower and 105 lb. ft. of torque!

Additional improvements include Blaupunkt CD player. carpeted front & rear storage compartments. Monza quad exit exhaust system. and larger 205/50R15 Yokohama V-rated tires for more grip on the road! Built for only 7 years. and 1973 being the first year with the improved 2. 0L option. cars equipped with this favored engine are by far the examples to seek out! Our 1972 example was also nearing the final year for chrome bumpers without the addition of mandated large bumper guards. Our example sold new from Porsche/Audi North located in Worthington. OH on March 16. 1972. The original Porsche maintenance booklet is included and covered the first 10 years of the car’s service records for the original owner. It traded hands in 1983 and went on to the owner of Meadow Brook VW Service based in Atlanta. GA until December of 1990. Then. it traveled to South Carolina through 2013. before going back south to Florida until this year. We count just 4 possible owners from new. The exterior paint has aged gracefully estimated to have been refinished in the 1980’s with a color change from Willow Green to Tangerine Red. It displays very well for a driver enthusiast but will showcase flaws at closer inspection. The chassis floor has had two panel repairs. one at the passenger rear just before the engine. and the other on the rear trunk floor. The interior seat upholstery and interior carpet were refinished more recently. It runs and drives wonderfully with an odometer reading of 26. 46 miles which likely translates to 126. 46 miles from new. It will come with original spare tire & changing tools. an extra 5-speed transmission (HA 28093). extra seats. original exhaust muffler. center console with brand new gauges to install if desired (normally part of the factory Appearance Group). and history records mentioned above.
