The Porsche 914 was a joint Porsche-Volkswagen project to grant both automakers an affordable, entry-level sports car to add to their line-ups. The new model would hit the market in 1969 and be produced until 1976. In 1970, Motor Trend voted it their Import Car Of The Year. This particular 1976 Porsche 914 comes from the last year of production and bears just 40,000 reportedly original miles since new. The current owner is said to have had the car for approximately five years. There's also said to be some original documentation available, as well as the owner's manual and books.
This 1976 Porsche 914 is painted in a very striking Viper Green shade that really brings out its distinctive Ferdinand Alexander Porsche-designed lines. The car sports a black roof, which is actually a removable targa top. The wheels are the original-styled units, and we're told that the car has received four new tires. The exhaust muffler is also said to be a new unit. A peek at the undercarriage reveals it to be in decent condition for a car of this age. Before we get inside the cabin, let us tell you a cool feature of the 914. Pop-up headlamps. Yes, it has pop-up headlamps. Inside, there's a cozy two-seat cabin in an all-black theme. The driver and passenger sit on comfortable leather seats while the driver faces a three-dial instrument cluster. There's also a ventilation system and a push-button radio. The current owner discloses that the radio currently doesn't work. No worries, there are plenty of aftermarket avenues, notably Becker, who have been known to equip plenty of period Porsches with their radios. You've also got wind-up windows, a glovebox, and a wood-crafted gear shift knob with the Porsche crest on top.
This 1976 Porsche 914 has a 2.0L flat-four engine with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection placed directly behind the passenger cabin. Rated figures are around 99hp and 118lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission.
Porsche, renowned for its legendary 911, has a rich history of crafting diverse models, including accessible entry-level options for enthusiasts aspiring to own a piece of the brand's heritage. In the 1960s, this ethos gave birth to the Porsche 914, a collaboration with Volkswagen and a brainchild of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of the founder. The 914, with its innovative design and approachable performance, was a resounding success, amassing over 118,000 units from 1969 to 1976. Among these is the 1973 Porsche 914 Targa, a splendid representation of the model, boasting 73,000 miles since its inception. Let's delve into the finer details of this classic.

The Porsche 914 debuted in 1969 as a compact entry-level sports car for Porsche, who needed to replace the ageing 912. The 914 was well-received by the motoring public, despite some questioning as to whether it was a proper Porsche, largely due to some Volkswagen connections. That question has long since been put to rest, and you can find out for yourself with the purchase of this 1974 Porsche 914. Bearing 69,300 miles on the clock, here is a classic car that you can enjoy as well as consider a smart investment for the future. Read on to discover all you need to know about this 914.
When the Porsche Boxster was first introduced, it was designed to solve a very big problem for the company. At the time, Porsche was in dire financial health and needed a boost in sales to recover from its slump. So, the company designed the two-seat convertible to offer a more affordable entry to the Porsche brand. It was a sales hit, and by the second generation, the Stuttgart-based firm saw demand to provide a fixed-head version. Thus, the first-generation Porsche Cayman was born. The Cayman platform has been praised for its mid-engine layout, which offers different driving dynamics to Porsche’s rear-engine 911, with reviewers describing the Cayman S chassis as confidence-inspiring and rewarding. Our featured car is a 2007 Porsche Cayman S, which features a 3.4-liter engine and just 37,000 miles on the odometer.
When Porsche announced that it was going to make a four-door sedan, many were skeptical. The company was known for its purebred pedigree sports cars, such as the 911, Boxster, 928, and 944. A Porsche sedan seemed unthinkable to many. However, just as they did with the Cayenne SUV, Porsche proved the critics wrong. Reviewers were impressed by the car’s performance and handling, which belied its weight. The interior was luxurious and used high-quality materials, and it was a match for other high-end sedans from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. By 2016, the Porsche Panamera had received a facelift, and the company’s commitment to constant improvement ensured the car was at the top of its game. Our featured car is a Panamera Turbo. Much like its 911 relative, the Turbo moniker signifies one of the highest performance-oriented trim levels that was available. Featuring a twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8 engine, this Panamera Turbo offers all the luxury and practicality of a German sedan with all the potency expected from anything bearing the Porsche crest.
Porsche is no longer just a sports car brand. The German automaker has successfully branched out into offering performance SUVs. And while that may seem fairly normal today — what with everyone from Ferrari (with the Purosangue) to Lamborghini (with the Urus) now having some form of SUV offering — Porsche did it decades before any other sports car maker. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is a luxury SUV that offers practicality, with the same sporting pedigree that permeates all Porsche products. Belonging to the second generation of Cayenne, this model improved looks, added tech, and even improved the on-road experience. Our featured car is a well-spec’d example with a 4.8-liter V8 engine, all-wheel drive, and 82,500 miles on the clock.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
