Adding a truck bed to a 914 makes the best sports car of the 1970s even better

6/1/202110:49 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell

Dick Troutman and Tom Barnes are no strangers to building magnificent cars. They combined to form one of the best known coachbuilders in Southern California, creating legends like Lance Reventlow's Scarabs, Jim Hall's first Chaparral, a weird four-door 911, and many other racing and roadgoing contraptions. Some of their designs were beautiful, …

The 914-6 and the Cayman GT4: Siblings Separated by Fifty Years

10/8/201912:00 estFiled to: Porsche 914, Porsche CaymanBy: Tommy Parry

Small, light, uncorrupted by gadgets, and honest. Both the 914-6 and the Cayman GT4 might not be the most powerful of the most focused Porsches, but my do they deliver the goods. Enough power in a perfectly balanced chassis is a recipe which will always go far. Fifty years ago, Porsche began developing a six-cylinder mid-engined road car, and the …

This Green 914 Inspires A Serious Porsche Passion

3/13/20196:45 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Tommy Parry

As Tyler steps into his strikingly green 914, he immediately launches into its storied history as the enthusiasm flows out by the bucketful. More than mere sentimental attachment, the allure of this gorgeous car comes from its classic configuration. "914s have always been one of my favorite cars, specifically because [of] its mid-engined, …

Well Sorted 914/6 Proves An Excellent Canyon Carver

2/16/20184:00 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell

If you could have the car you drove to high school prom back, would you want it? Would it be as cool as Marco's 914-6? I drove a rusty 1991 Ford Mustang convertible to my prom, so he's definitely got me beat. This white mid-engine beauty is an impressive beast of a Porsche, now running a 2.5-liter twin-plug flat-six engine pumping out about 220 …

Jeff Zwart Burns Rubber in his 914-6

10/13/20179:42 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Tommy Parry

This isn't the first time we've seen Jeff Zwart's wild creation thrashed as it was intended. Over the last forty-five years, Jeff has hustled this lemon yellow 914 in a variety of events, though with few giveaways to its true heritage and power, it might fly under the radar of most. However, keen eyes might pick out the telltale badge or the flared …

Porsche 914: A True Porsche Pedigree

5/1/201510:43 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Betty Jo Turner

The idea was exquisitely simple. In the late 1960s, as Volkswagen sought to add a small sports car and the panache that would come with it to their product line, Porsche was looking for an entry level car within reach of enthusiasts not yet able to afford a 911. The solution worked out by Ferry Porsche and VW's Heinz Nordhoff appeared to meet both …

Attention 914-6 Owners: New Heat Exchangers Are Available Again!

2/16/201511:54 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell

Porsche 914-6 Exhaust Heat Exchangers

For decades now, people restoring Porsche's awesome 914-6 have been without a lot of options when it comes to replacing rotted out heat exchangers. The 914-6 heat exchangers are an interesting design, using what amounts to an equal length header system winding through a stamped steel covering to provide heat for the car. Unfortunately, German steel …

This Is What A Turbocharged V8 Porsche 914 Looks And Sounds Like

10/26/201411:32 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: 993C4S

After purchasing this 914 as a project car, and determining that the cost for an original 914-6 replacement motor was too great, the owner, Mike De of New Zealand, decided to shoehorn a GM turbocharged LS1 V8 into the space normally reserved for a flat-four. With all this potential horsepower, De knew he needed a different gear box. After a …

914 West Coast Ramble Invades Lake Tahoe

5/26/20149:24 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell

I've been a loud proponent of the 914 movement for quite a few years now. They are fantastic little cars that punch well above their weight class. They may not be the most powerful things in the world, but they certainly have more than made up for that in the handling department. When you can find a well-kept model without the car's unfortunate …

1970 914-6: The Forgotten Porsche

5/14/20147:52 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell

Why is the 914 treated with such apathy within the Porsche community? It is a brilliant car that handles much better than its 4-decade-old appearance would lead you to believe. The tiny two-seater, especially in 6-cylinder guise, as this one is, has to be one of the best driving cars Porsche ever produced, and in its day was a true force to be …
