1972 Porsche 914 1.7

What a great throw back car-Moma Shifter- roll down windows- mid engine- targa top- on our showroom. By the late 1960s, nflation and currency issues had forced Porsche so far up market (above the magic $10,000 mark for a highly optioned 911S) that they became desperate for a new four-cylinder entry-level car. The 912 was ripe for replacement, s it could no longer be produced cheaply enough to qualify as entry-level, nd the new Datsun 240Z had made a mockery of it on a performance level. The answer was a collaboration with Volkswagen who would sell the new car, ubbed the 914, s a VW-Porsche in Europe. In the U.S. it was known as a Porsche but never carried the Porsche crest on the hood. Styling was considered odd in the day (by Gugelot, firm that had heretofore designed appliances) but it avoided most of the impracticalities of the mid-engined layout with good outward vision and two large trunks. Performance was modest at first with base VW-derived engines of 1.7 and 1.8 liters. Handling is superb with fine brakes and phenomenal steering. Bright period colors suit the car well.
