Porsche Tucson’s 1972 914 Off-Road Wins People’s Choice at 2025 Werks Reunion West
Porsche Tucson is celebrating a remarkable achievement after its beautifully restored 1972 Porsche 914 earned the coveted “Fan Favorite” (People’s Choice) Award at the 2025 Werks Reunion Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge finale in Monterey.
The once-neglected, sun-faded 914 was transformed into a true showstopper. Competing in the Individualization category, the build honored Porsche heritage while embracing creative custom touches. The result? A stunning off-road “Baja” inspired design, complete with a lifted stance, rugged tires, and desert-inspired colors that reflect the beauty of Arizona.
Every detail told a story—from the number 5 symbolizing Porsche Tucson’s fifth entry in the Restoration Challenge, to the community-driven approach that shaped the project from day one. Porsche Tucson hosted a special event where local fans helped guide the vision, ensuring that this restoration wasn’t just a dealership effort, but a project “for the community.”
That collaborative spirit shined through in Monterey. In a field of more than 800 breathtaking Porsches, the bold and lovingly restored 914 captured the hearts of enthusiasts, proving that passion, teamwork, and community involvement make all the difference.
