Excellent driver with strong, fully rebuilt 2.2L engine and no rust

1974 Porsche 914

1974 Porsche914-4 2.0 with fully restored D-Jet fuel injection. Now 2200cc after 2016 rebuild.

First, the bad:

Marginal paint

Radio doesn't work (two different new antennas failed to pull in any stations, but it does have power and makes static. Currently no antenna installed at all.)

Heat doesn't work

Windshield washers don't work

Turn signal doesn't self-cancel

Reverse lights don't work

Dome light doesn't work (could get 12v, but couldn't pull any current through this circuit)

Dash cracks present

Windshield is old - probably original

NO RUST! Everything looks original and solid.

It looks like it's had a marginal repaint done in the original Light Ivory color sometime in the past. Front bumper more recently painted. Though far from perfect, it still looks great from 10 ft.

There are some remnants of the dealer-installed AC, though it is nearly entirely gone. This is why there's a square patch and unconnected rubber lines in front trunk.

About 4,000 miles on new rebuild with no issues. Starts and runs great hot (100F) or cold (20F), pushing it hard or trundling along. Short or long drives. Pulls strong from any RPM - enough power to spin rear tires at low speeds. Correct diameter tires keeps highway RPMs in a sane range; 80mph is ~3500rpm. Shifts well for a 914. Small oil drips here and there. Oil changed, valve lash adjusted, and spark plugs replaced at 3000 miles on new engine; valve lash barely changed since rebuild. Spark plugs looked good. Oil sent to Blackstone Labs for analysis - all reports normal.

I would not hesitate to drive this car long distances - I've taken it on a few 4 hour drives without issue, and I use it to commute to work (1 hour each way) when the weather is nice.I've been getting ~23mpg in mixed, spirited driving.

Finished rebuild in October 2016, replacing really everything I could imagine with the hopes of many more years of trouble-free motoring. Got married in May 2017. Wife does not want me driving anything without airbags, so it's sadly time to say goodbye to my favorite toy.

Local Pickup Only - Cash preferred. We could do a cashiers check if we go get the check together - so I can see it being made and know it's not fake. Indiana title is clear - no issues, no liens or anything on it. Car sold as-is.

I'm happy to talk about the car with you if you have any questions.
