Porsche 914 for Sale
The Porsche 914 (1969–1976) is a mid-engined Targa-roofed sports car produced in collaboration with Volkswagen and one of the most misunderstood Porsches ever built. Its mid-engine placement gives it outstanding weight distribution and handling balance that many contemporary cars could not match.
The 914 was offered with both four-cylinder (shared with VW) and six-cylinder variants — the 914/6 with its 911-derived flat-six is the most desirable and rarest, with fewer than 3,300 produced. Standard four-cylinder 914s are increasingly appreciated for what they are: lightweight, nimble, and affordable entry points into air-cooled Porsche ownership with genuine mid-engine dynamics.
Values have risen steadily, particularly for 914/6 examples, which have become serious collector cars. Four-cylinder 914s remain accessible, offering an honest driving experience at a price point that few historic Porsches can match.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a Porsche 914 and 914/6?
- The standard 914 uses a flat-four engine shared with Volkswagen. The 914/6 uses the 911 T's 2.0-litre flat-six — producing around 125hp compared to the four-cylinder's 80hp. The 914/6 is significantly rarer (under 3,300 built vs over 115,000 four-cylinders), faster, and far more valuable.
- Is the Porsche 914 a real Porsche?
- Yes — the 914 was sold as a Porsche in all markets and shares components with the 911. The VW collaboration has historically affected its perception, but the car's mid-engine layout, targa roof, and Porsche engineering credentials are genuine. It is an increasingly respected model among enthusiasts.
- Is the Porsche 914 reliable?
- The 914 is generally reliable for its era. Key areas to inspect include rust (particularly in the sills, battery tray, and front trunk floor), the targa roof seal, and engine oil leaks. A well-maintained four-cylinder 914 is a robust and practical car.
