Description
Overview: This is an original owner 1975 Porsche 914 that has been stored for many years. It is a project car that requires a total restoration to return to the road.
Mechanical: The engine was previously upgraded to a 2.0L unit. Like the rest of the car, the motor requires a complete overhaul after its long period of storage.
Condition: The vehicle has body damage on the front left fender and door. Additionally, the rear bumper is currently missing. This car is being sold as-is for a restoration candidate.
History: One owner since new. The car comes with a clean title, which is rare for a vehicle in this project condition.
Market Highlights
- The Restoration Market: In 2026, air-cooled Porsche values continue to stabilize at high levels, making projects like this 914 increasingly attractive. A clean title is the most valuable asset for a total restoration, providing a clear path to high future resale.
- Southern California Demand: Santa Ana and the surrounding coastal regions are home to a dense population of Porsche restorers and parts suppliers. This local ecosystem supports higher prices for project cars because transportation and sourcing parts are significantly easier than in other regions.
- The 2.0L Advantage: The 2.0L flat-four is the most desirable non-six engine for the 914. Even in non-running condition, the core components of a 2.0L build carry a premium over the base 1.7L or 1.8L versions, adding substantial value to this specific listing.
