Porsche 914 1.8V

The 1.8-liter 914’s original Bill of Sale from TC Porsche Audi records its first owner as Robert Pedersen of Tacoma, Washington, on 12 March 1975. Furthermore, the document reveals it was dealer equipped with an Blaupunkt AM radio for $125, side stripes for $38, and pressure cast alloy wheels for $380 listed as “Porsche Mags.” Pedersen kept the car for 16 years before selling it to PCA member Richard Anton based in nearby Enumclaw in March 1991. Even 16 years after it was built, locating an unmodified, low-mile 914 with original paint was quite the task, yet this is exactly the 914 Anton found!

Over the next 35 years, until his passing in 2025, the Antons kept the 914 in exceptionally original condition, enjoying it at Porsche Club of America events—winning a 1st Place PCA Preservation Award in 2021—on weekends when they weren’t competing in or judging Golden Retriever Club of America shows. Original build information sourced from Dave Pateman confirms the 914 retains its original numbers-matching engine and that the transmission number was not recorded in the factory’s files. Furthermore, paint meter readings conducted at the time of consignment reveal original Light Ivory paint across the car, a clear sign of the 914’s uncommon originality.

With just under 90,000 miles displayed at the time of cataloging, it has received an inspection and service performed in advance of the sale and is offered with its original window sticker, Bill of Sale, and build information. As a compelling and highly original example of Porsche’s beloved mid-engine sports car this 914 is made even more desirable by its two-owner history and careful preservation over 50 years.
