4 cylinder, not a six. No 6 cylinder with a central air cleaner. Had 2 ,73 1.7, 74 1.8 Always wanted to do a one-off with a 928 engine in it' to keep it pure. No LS swap for me
We bought a '72 Red 1.7 right hand drive conversion in 1997 for $10,000. It was a beauty that wasn't appreciated in Australia, as there were so few on the road.
But does it have the plastic padded pad that goes under the rear trunk rug? Mine does. The only time I have seen one with this was back in the 70’s. I’m on my 5th 914 since 1976 one owner stored in a climate controlled warehouse all it life 81,000 miles all original not a speck of rust anywhere. Just a beautiful and great running 914.
Very nice car, nice video. Does anybody remember the Swap Sheet from the 70s? I used to buy it every week for fifty cents, and lust after all the used cars for sale! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
Amazing but the wood dash material and the Porsche badge shifter knob are not original / at least not on any I've owner up here in Canada. Still an amazing peace WOW
You may have seen it but neither are factory options / check with Automobile Atlanta / The leading N.Americian expert on 914 / Mr. George Hussey will set you straight.@@racingdatasystems3708

We had an AMX years ago and someone from Australia flew to LA to buy and then shipped it back to Oz. They didn't convert it though.
Its appreciated now!

10 Times the price.
That's _Appreciation_ !
Yes.....like you say!
It's _'Appreciated' now!

A 914 is definitely one of the most fun and best all-around performance cars around!
...that colour was made for a 914...love it...betting IF it were for sale it would be a bit above my pay grade.
Also love that color!
74'000 miles of pure fun that man has had
He's been an excellent caretaker...and loved every moment of it so it seems.
I have a 71 914 same color with original footrest for passenger
Excellent!

Not sure we had a "Swap Sheet" around here, although there was the "Recycler".
Absolutely love the 914
My 1975 1.8L is my third one. All original with a bit more miles.
Beautiful car in actually beautiful color!!!👍👍👍
Couldn't agree more!
great restoration job
There’s a cover that goes over the brake fluid reservoir that’s missing. Otherwise perfection
Huh, not an argument, I have never seen a cover in the wild - will look
@@caryconrad3298 I only know because mine had one.
Great car and great color! I have a Olympic blue one which is under restoration right now.
Very cool!

Option. I've seen it on 20-30 914's in the USA since my first one in 1985.

Do these have speed?? Like are they known for being fast?
I'd say so... ruclips.net/video/HKkLsI1kU5o/видео.html
how did he prevent 50 years of chemical degradation the paint normally undergoes?
I know it was always covered and garaged when not in use, and being in a mild So. Cal climate helps too.
its a restoration....thats why...amazed nobody has put this together....we just have to be glad someone has done a great job on it..
@@andyMSH700 It's not a restoration. Watch the video. He says "it's original paint" etc.
...this is why you buy a Cali car.
Beautiful condition
Yes, thanks
nice one for sure! I am on the hunt for a good one.
Good choice!
Beautiful !
The wooden trim is not original...
On which car?

In Europe this car brand is VW-Porsche, only the 914-6 is Porsche.
Good trivia!
You all keep acting like this is a real Porsche.
It’s cos it is. I’ve been under that car enough times to know it’s a real Porsche.
@@DaveyJake I think you mean 'Volkswagen.'
You’re a idi…
Awesome 😊
The car was really stunning in person too!
