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.
Arctic Blue is a lovely color when applied to an iconic car like this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa. It’s reminiscent of an Arctic Sky when the sun is low down in the sky, but not setting. The color is said to be an Audi shade. Then, of course, you have the pop-up headlamps, stylish alloy wheels and truncated rear design to enjoy. The car comes in at just 157 inches long, which is shorter than a modern subcompact crossover. Hence, you can easily dart about with ease, and place the car superbly well on narrow winding roads, which are its natural habitat, after all. The two-seat interior of this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa has been stripped out a bit, in the name of lightness and performance. There’s no air conditioning anymore, for example. Then, there’s a set of aftermarket racing bucket seats, but the original seats are available too. The current owner says that they need re-upholstering. Mercifully, a radio remains, and it’s a Kenwood unit with CD, USB and AUX playback avenues. So, you can pump up your jam of choice while driving down your favorite road. And of course, since it’s a Targa, you’ve got a removable roof panel for open-air drives. Suddenly, the lack of air conditioning becomes far less relevant.
Packing a 1.8L flat-four behind the passenger cabin, we’re told that the engine of this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa has been bored out to nearly 2.0L. That’s not all; it’s running Dellorto racing carburetors in place of the original Bosch fuel injection system for even more pep. Driving the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission, you’ll enjoy every moment with this 1974 Porsche 914 Targa.

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 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.
For over 60 years, Porsche has wowed the world with their icon – the Porsche 911. Each time they refresh, overhaul, and produce a new version, everything gets just that little bit better. It's quite satisfying for perfectionists. This 2024 Porsche 911 Targa 4S, with just 1,700 miles on the clock, is the perfect blend of a sleek, precisely engineered sports car and a fun, exciting convertible. If Porsche has been producing stuff like this for 60+ years, it’s safe to assume it’ll be one hell of a car to drive.
The Porsche Cayenne is the vehicle for Porsche lovers who now have families that need transporting. An excellent five-seat midsize luxury SUV, the Cayenne was the brand’s first SUV. Naturally, it retains the signature Porsche driving experience, and don’t worry; the engine isn’t in the tail like a 911; it's upfront. So, you’ve got plenty of space and practicality, too. This particular 2023 Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe is of the Cayenne Coupe variant, which debuted in 2020. With a mere 6,100 miles on the clock, this car also comes with the Premium Package and the Sport Design Package in Gloss Black.
The 718 was introduced as a contuination of the popular Boxster and Cayman lines. These are mid-engined German roadsters with one goal: to take the everyday out of every day. This 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman Style Edition is a work of art to drive on the streets. A beautifully designed and engineered machine that wins the heart of every car enthusiast. Primarily thanks to the mid-engine concept that includes a 2.0-liter turbo boxer engine producing just the right amount of power with a low center of gravity and performance suspension that results in ludicrous amounts of fun. This particular Cayman we have here comes with the Premium Package, Sport Chrono Package, Extended Range Fuel Tank, and an exciting list of aftermarket upgrades. With a mere 2,545 miles on the odometer, this is your chance to own street art done the Porsche way.
Volkswagen’s quirky and lovable Transporter, Bus, Microbus, or Kombi is a symbol of the '60s and its movement of peace and love. The T3 generation of the Type 2, as it was internally known, debuted for the 1979 model year and was made right up until 2002 in some countries. With its friendly boxy shape and easy-to-maintain air-cooled flat-four, the T3 became a cult favorite all over the world. So, we’re gladly presenting this 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition for sale right now. The bus has around 95,000 miles, while the motor was rebuilt at around the 71,000-mile point. The current owner, who is also the original owner of the vehicle, reports that the sale includes the original window sticker of the vehicle.

One of the most striking designs of the Sixties, the third-generation Corvette came in 1968. It was basically a lightly adjusted version of Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II concept car. This thrilled the American public to no end – after all, it’s not common for a concept car to make it into production without major changes. Even in 2024, the C3 is one of the most sought-after variants, especially cars that were made before the Malaise Era of the '70s. That’s why you’ll no doubt enjoy owning and driving this pre-Malaise 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with just 68,262 miles on the odometer. It’s got the biggest engine for the C3 under the hood, and reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration. It’s also got the tank sticker, NCRS Judging sheets, service invoices and original documentation available.
