1972 Porsche 914 – Bare-Metal Restored – Matching Numbers - 1911cc – Dual Webers – 31k Miles
Overview
An exceptional, investment-grade example of the definitive mid-engine air-cooled classic. This matching-numbers 1972 Porsche 914 has been subjected to an exhaustive, windows-out, bare-metal restoration and repainted in factory-correct shade of Ravenna Green (Paint Code L65K). Optimized for modern road use with a rebuilt engine and a complete, fresh cabin overhaul, this example stands in impeccable, turn-key condition.

• Ignition: Upgraded to premium Electronic Ignition for effortless turn-key starting, rock-solid idling, and worry-free classic touring.
