If you are reading this ad, you probably already know that the 914's are rapidly increasing in value, following the same path as the 356 and earlier 911 models to rooftop price levels as everyone seems to appreciate these "high-quality-build, last-of-the air-cooled" Porsches. With the 914-6's becoming further from reach in price, the Limited Edition 914-4's and 1976 models are second only to the 6 in collectability and bring some of the highest prices to date (and climbing). The 1976 models in particular are very valuable because they were the last of the breed, being the last and least produced of all the 4-cylinder 914's, AND they had all of the factory improvements developed by Porsche over the years of 914 testing and production. No 1976 model was ever made in the year 1976, with the last 914 ever built in December of 1975. This particular specimen is a November 1975 production car (11/75), and one of the last 914's ever built. The car came with two options from the factory: tinted glass and center seat cushion (see full list below and window sticker in pictures above). This 914 certainly qualifies as one of the most collectible and if kept in current condition, will skyrocket in value in the future. One of the best colors ever offered by Porsche (L97b), and with only 53,413 miles, this car shows those miles extremely well with an impeccable interior and body, totally ORIGINAL engine compartment, and immaculate front and rear trunks. In addition, the spare is the factory original that has never hit the ground. The tool kit is original and complete, the owner's manual and cover are in the glove box, comes with all four (4) original keys, and also the original factory window sticker and a file 3 in. thick of service records, original delivery materials, Ziebart rustproof materials, and much more (please review all pics at the bottom of listing). The previous owners even kept the three sets of points, distributor cap, original condenser, as well as the original rotors over the years! (Unfortunately, we did not receive these items, so they do not come with the car). The body is absolutely RUST FREE, and its rare ORIGINAL Anacona Blue paint is in superb condition. The car has been carefully maintained since new with only 53,413 ORIGINAL miles on the clock (documented). We have only put 400 or so extremely enjoyable miles on her. Due to collectibility and miles being an obvious issue, we have stopped driving the car on a regular basis, although it is on a trickle charger and is started regularly and taken around the block just to keep the fluids flowing properly.

There are a few other items or "defects" on the exterior of the car that are noted here below: 1) The car had stick-on side molding and negative side stripes installed early on in its life (these both have since been removed (the car when sold new or shortly thereafter received a "protective" amount of body side molding, which was very popular back then prior to paintless dent removal)). Because of time and the nature of adhesives back then, there is slight etching where the molding once was. We have not tried wet sanding or anything of that nature in fear of tampering with the car's original exterior. It is not at all a detractor to the car and is barely noticeable but needs disclosure. 2) The car had a front bra during its early life. There are very small water spots (white in color) on the front bonnet from the condensation underneath. This is also an area that wet sanding or another procedure could possibly work fine. We have decided to keep the car as original as possible and since it's hardly noticeable, we decided not to pursue any paint ot body work whatsoever. The paint is so good on the car, we have been told it should never, ever be painted on, so we have heeded respected advice here. MECHANICAL The car starts instantly, and runs and drives excellently. Clutch and transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly. Mechanically, she's just as nice. Serviced all the way by Auto Atlanta, and was in the owner's personal collection. The steering wheels is ORIGINAL and crack free and the interior has been meticulously maintained. No cracks in the dash, no tears, rips or splits in the seats. The car comes with: - Original Porsche Tool Kit
- All ORIGINAL Extra Keys (4) including Valet key
- Ownership History (All unedited documents/originals will be included)
- Service Records (Extensive maintenance records)
- Owner's/Warranty Manuals (Complete)
- Original Window Sticker and all delivery materials
