Vehicle History & Overview

This 914 2.0 reportedly received a repaint in the factory Bahia Red in 2013, and maintains its black leatherette interior with corduroy inserts. The selling dealer acquired the car in March 2022 and spent more than $7,800 replacing the sail-panel, various body/window/top seals, and the dash-pad. Modifications appear to be limited to installation of upgraded SSI heat-exchangers, new Fuchs replica alloy wheels, Weber carburetors, and a Pioneer stereo with Pioneer kick-panel speakers. A factory radio is included.

The 914 was Porsche’s replacement for the aging 912 and was launched in 1969. Thanks to its lightweight and playful chassis, the 914 earned a reputation as a lively little sports car, especially when paired with the more powerful 2.0L flat-four-cylinder engine featured in this example. A variety of colors were offered, but Bahia Red stands out because it was shared with the Porsche 911 and because of the name’s origin, that of the Brazilian state Bahia in which the wildest and most colorful Carnival celebrations were held.
