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.

General Motors has quietly distributed another round of 2026 Corvette ZR1X allocations to select dealers, keeping even the order submission process under wraps. The secrecy theater around C8 allocation—combined with the ZR1X's supercharged 5.5L dual-overhead-cam engine and mid-engine platform—suggests GM is managing scarcity as a feature, not a constraint.

A survivor from Fiat's brief flirtation with accessible mid-engine sports cars, this '80 X1/9 pairs the bulletproof 1.5-liter Lampredi four with a five-speed manual and that iconic removable Targa roof. No reserve means the market will decide what a clean example actually costs right now—and that's worth watching.
