The thieves, using a late-model white Ford F-150 Super Cab, likely stolen themselves, rammed the roll-up door of the building where the vehicle was stored, gaining access to the property. In addition to the 914, a 1996 Porsche 993 was also taken during the heist.
This particular 1974 Porsche 914, a classic model from the early 1970s, has undergone significant modifications, making it a unique and valuable vehicle. The car is painted in Olympic Blue and boasts an impressive 9.6-liter engine swap from a Porsche 993, which is a major upgrade over the original four-cylinder engine. The 914, originally known for its compact size and mid-engine layout, became even more powerful with this substantial engine modification, enhancing both its performance and appeal.
Other distinctive features of this 914 include a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, Houndstooth seats, copper Fuchs alloy wheels, and an “EASY” decal on the side. These modifications, combined with the rare engine swap, make this vehicle highly recognizable among Porsche enthusiasts.
The Oakland Police Department has filed a stolen vehicle report in connection with the theft. Authorities are investigating the incident, which highlights the ongoing issue of car thefts in the area. As of now, both vehicles remain missing, and there has been no word on potential suspects.
