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 1973 Porsche 914 Targa is a proud bearer of the Porsche legacy. Clad in a vibrant red, it sits elegantly on period-correct alloy wheels, and features the iconic pop-up headlights that define the 914 lineage. Notable design elements include the elongated tail and the distinctive rear light connecting strip, all underlining Porsche's design philosophy. The contrasting black targa top offers a versatile driving experience, smoothly transitioning from a hardtop to a convertible. Inside, the two-seater cockpit of this 914 Targa is both snug and functional, characterized by a classic three-dial instrument cluster displaying road speed, engine revs, and fuel level. The central console is equipped with additional gauges for battery voltage, oil pressure, and cylinder head temperature. Modern touches include a Sony Xplod head unit with USB, AUX, and FM radio capabilities. Practicality is surprisingly ample for a vehicle of its size, with a front trunk (or 'frunk') housing the spare wheel, and a rear trunk behind the engine compartment, offering sufficient space for essential luggage on extended journeys.
Under the rear deck of this 1973 Porsche 914 Targa lies a spirited 1.7L flat-four engine, a nod to its Volkswagen heritage. Its mid-rear placement optimizes the car's handling dynamics, benefiting from an air-cooled design. Recent upgrades include new carburetors, enhancing its performance. The vehicle's driving experience is further refined by its front and rear disc brakes, MacPherson strut front suspension, and an independent rear suspension equipped with stabilizer bars. This configuration promises a thrilling and engaging drive, making this 914 Targa a delight on winding roads.
The Porsche 914 is a Porsche after all, but a Porsche with a difference. Unlike the iconic, teardrop-shaped 911, the 914 had a more angular design, pop-up headlamps, and a mid-engined configuration. Aimed at occupying a space beneath the 911, the 914 would serve as an introductory Porsche. Co-developed with Volkswagen, the 914 would see nearly 119,000 examples made between 1969 and 1976. This particular 1974 Porsche 914 Targa comes to you with some enhancements, allowing it to offer an even more engaging driving experience. So grab it while you can, and use it as a detox tool to free your mind on the weekends.

Porsche may have very well built their legacy on making fine sports cars, but you can’t butter your bread with that segment only.
