2.4L Flat-Six 914: When Porsche's Unloved Kid Gets a Real Engine
This 1972 914 ditches the original 2.0L air-cooled four for a proper 2.4-liter flat-six backed by a 915 five-speed—the engine swap that finally made these mid-engine orphans feel like real Porsches. Steel GT bodywork, carbon-fiber targa, and a custom interior suggest someone actually drove this thing instead of treating it as a resto-mod poster child. Clean 914s with real powerplants are becoming harder to source.
The 914 is finally getting its due, mostly because people realized you can turn it into something worth owning instead of just tolerating.
