1973 Porsche 914 - "Wide Body"

Vehicle Description

Note: this is a Revised Listing No Reserve!

Hello Porsche Lovers and Enthusiasts!

This is your chance to own a true piece of Porsche history, and a One-of-a-Kind and “Out-of-this-World”, a Uniquely Exotic-Wide-Body - 1973 Porsche 914 with a stock 2.0L Fuel Injection Engine with 68,585 miles, and a 5 Speed Manual Transmission.

- Rare Wide-Body Conversion: This isn’t your average 914. The custom wide-body kit, installed in Sonoma, CA during the 1980s, gives it a muscular, aggressive stance that commands attention. It’s a true unicorn among Porsche builds and is an Absolute “Head-Turner” all its life (This Body Kit itself costs more than the Car, when the car was first “newly sold” in 1973).

- California Provenance: Always a California car - no harsh winters and a legacy of sunshine and smooth roads.

- Low Mileage: It runs and drives with just 68,585 miles - this 914 has plenty of life and potential left and has been cherished.

- Original 2.0L Fuel-Injected Engine: The heart of the car remains true to its Porsche roots - the Engine paired with the Monza Exhaust that delivers a throaty, powerful sound that perfectly matches its aggressive and bold look.

- 5-Speed Manual Transmission: For purists who love the feel of a true driver’s car.

- Targa Top: This 914 also comes with a removable Hardtop, allowing you to enjoy the open-air experience.

- Stereo: Sherwood Dolby Stereo-CRD303-AM/FM/Cassette, paired to an Electric Antenna (mounted inside the Rear Fender).

Parting with my beloved pride and joy after many cherished years, only because retirement has brought me to a Mobile Home Park where parking spaces are limited.
