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.

This '49 Jeepster wears a 350ci V8 and TH350 automatic—the restomod playbook executed competently but without conviction. Mustang II front end, power disc brakes, modern comfort touches. It's the kind of build that works fine but raises a question: why not go all-in on what made the original interesting.

A hand-assembled 9.4-liter Hemi displacing serious cubic inches just landed on the secondhand market with 700 horses on pump fuel. The seller's throwing in an uncommon three-year powertrain warranty, which either means confidence or they've seen what happens when someone drops this into a C3 and forgets about fuel system upgrades. For the swap crowd, this is plug-and-play theater.
