Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Porsche 914, an ex-California car, features a 1.7L flat-four engine converted to Weber carburetors, recent sill repairs, and rare Ronal Kleeblatts wheels. While the yellow paint is dated and has blemishes, the car includes extra parts, a largely original interior, and desirable upgrades, though an intermittent starting issue prevents a complete assessment.
Condition
6
The car presents well overall, with a largely original interior and recent sill repairs addressing a common issue for this model. However, the paint is described as 'tired' with blemishes, and there's an intermittent starting issue that prevents a full assessment of its mechanical condition. While the car has desirable upgrades like the Weber carburetors and Ronal Kleeblatts wheels, and the bodywork benefits from careful attention and alignment, the cosmetic flaws and starting problem hold it back from a higher rating.

Description
The Porsche 914, introduced in 1969, was a collaboration between Porsche and Volkswagen aimed at producing an affordable, mid-engine sports car.
Initially conceived as a Volkswagen project, it became a joint venture, with VW providing production facilities and Porsche focusing on the design and engineering.
The 914 featured a unique Targa top and a mid-engine layout, offering exceptional handling for its price range.
It was available with either a flat-four engine (badged as a Volkswagen-Porsche in some markets) or a more powerful flat-six engine under the Porsche name.
While its unconventional styling was divisive, the 914 gained popularity for its performance and accessibility.
Production ended in 1976, and despite its mixed reception at launch, the 914 has since become a cult classic among enthusiasts, valued for its innovative design and role in Porsche’s evolution.
We are pleased to offer this 1971 Porsche 914 in yellow with black interior.
