On August 24, 1973, the first owner purchased this 914 from Willowdale Volkswagen Inc.
in Ontario, Canada.

Routine maintenance was performed every year at authorized Porsche dealerships until the early 2000's when he moved from Canada to Southern California for work.
Residing in Orange County, California he came across a local shop in Costa Mesa, California where he continued to service the vehicle until 2021.

Full service included:
new oil filter, valve adjustment, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, air filter, gear oil, and fuel injection cleaner.
This 914 is an extremely dry 914 with nice paintwork, gaps, and panel fit.
The exterior trim is in great condition along with the Targa top.
The interior is very nice and mostly original, with the seats being recently reupholstered.
Mechanically powered by a 2.
0-Liter flat-four that runs very strong with a manual 5-speed transmission.
Equipped with four factory Mahle alloy wheels and a Panasonic radio.
Complete with jack, spare tire, original maintenance booklet, and owner's manual.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a very well maintained 914 with 48 years of service history from the day it was sold.
