The Porsche 914/6 was a joint development between Porsche and
Volkswagen conceived in the late 1960's. The standard 914 was
powered by Volkswagen's horizontal four-cylinder engine, even with
the lightweight Porsche body, acceleration suffered. The solution
was to offer a second version, the 914/6, built by Porsche at the
main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. This would be powered by a
six-cylinder engine derived from the 1969 911T, along with several
other upgrades which further hybridized this "mid-engined 911".
Despite several impressive victories on the motor racing scene,
only 3,333 914/6s were produced - forever influencing the future
lineup of Porsche.
Completed in October of 1970, 9140432357 was finished as seen here
in Canary Yellow over Black Leatherette upholstery with optional
equipment including: comfort equipment, Blaupunkt "Frankfurt"
radio, round white fog lights, tinted glass all-around and light
metal wheels. The history known and recorded for this Porsche
begins with a correspondence letter between its original owner,
Frank Hubbard and a friend in Europe. Being so limited produced,
these 914/6s were very difficult to obtain, even in Europe, where
dealerships couldn't acquire demonstration vehicles. Pricing was
also nearly that of standard 911. Mr. Hubbard eventually purchased
this car on December 12, 1970 from Chick Iverson Porsche-Audi in
Newport Beach, California.
The car was sparingly driven from 1970-1978, but then it was placed
in storage until 1990. Mr. Hubbard fell ill in 1990 and was taken
in by the same friends in the letter, whom had moved back to the
States from Spain. After Hubbard's passing, the car remain in
storage until 1995, thereafter, the Porsche was lightly restored
cosmetically (commissioned by the Morrisons) and then driven until
1999 when it went back into storage. By 2007, all original
mechanical components, gaskets and consumables needed refreshening
and the 914/6 made its triumphant return to the road in 2008. A
correct, upgraded transmission was also installed at that time, but
the original numbers-matching case is included. The car currently
displays just 26,600 miles, which is without a doubt original and
documented, as well as retains majority original components
throughout the vehicle.
In addition to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, 9140432357
is accompanied by two large dossiers containing documentation and
meticulously detailed history from new. Some of the excellent items
included are the original owner's manual, VIN-matched maintenance
booklet, serial-matched Blaupunkt radio books, original parts
catalogs, dealer brochures, factory pricing sheets and more.
Furthermore, this 914/6 is complete with jack, tool kit, date
matched spare and dogbone foot rest - complimenting the stunningly
preserved upholstery.
A recent complete service, multi-point inspection and period
correct Pirelli CN36 tires, assures continued spirited drivability
for this remarkably honest car. Today, the model is highly
celebrated as a pioneer of the mid-engined, perfectly balanced
Porsche, and this exceptional turn-key 914/6 is now available for
worldwide purchase and delivery for our Houston, Texas
showroom.
