1973 Porsche 914 2.0 with Porsche COA and a 2020 restoration binder, early bid
Documented 914 2.0 with a $5,000 opening bid on a reserve auction; it will climb, so set a firm limit.
Ended Why we picked it
Why we picked it: This 914 2.0 on PCARMARKET has one bid of $5,000 with about three days to go. Driver 914s have been selling for roughly $15,500 to $26,750, so the current bid is far below the market. It is a reserve auction and bids usually climb, so this is a car to watch and set a limit on, not a done deal.
The seller says it runs and drives well, with recent carburetor adjustment and maintenance. It was refinished in silver in a 2020 restoration that the seller rates 6 out of 10, with imperfections throughout. It comes with the restoration binder, owner's manuals, period brochures and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and has a clean California title. The listing says 1973 in the title but 1974 in the description, so confirm the year from the VIN and COA.
The value check
When we found it, the bid was $15,250. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $15,500–$26,750, so the middle of the market is about $21,125. That put this car 28% under.
Driver-grade 914s sold between about $14,750 and $26,750 at BaT and Mecum in September and October 2026; a 2.0 with documentation should sit in the upper half of that range.
- 1975 914, BaT $23,250 (Oct 2026)
- 1972 914, BaT $22,500 (Oct 2026)
- 1974 914, BaT $26,750 (Sep 2026)
- 1975 914, BaT $15,500 (Oct 2026)
What to check
- The listing does not mention rust. Check the hell hole under the battery, the longitudinals, jack points and the rear trunk floor before bidding.
- The seller describes carburetor work; a stock 2.0 was fuel-injected in the US, so ask whether it has been converted and if the original injection parts come with it.
- Year is inconsistent in the listing (1973 vs 1974); verify against the VIN and COA.
- Reserve auction; the reserve is not disclosed.
- Check the 901 gearbox side-shifter bushings and the targa top seals.
Making it drive like new
Common upgrades are a modern fuel injection setup, a 914-6 style brake and suspension refresh, stiffer torsion bars and dampers, and chassis stiffening at the longitudinals. A well-documented 2.0 car is also a natural base for a 2.4 to 2.7 four-cylinder build.
How it ended
Bidding reached $15,750 but the car didn't sell (ended Oct 20, 2026). Unsold cars often get relisted, so it may turn up again.
