Vehicle Description
This stunning Porsche 914-6 has undergone a comprehensive
restoration and is fitted with its matching-numbers engine. It
presents in the classic color combination of black with a matching
black vinyl interior featuring Pepita Houndstooth cloth inserts.
Featuring the iconic Fuchs alloys polished to a mirror-like sheen,
these 5-bolt/14-inch diameter wheels are exclusive to the 914-6.
All 914-6 cars were fitted with the Appearance Group, which
consisted of front and rear chrome bumpers, auxiliary driving
lights and vinyl covering on the roll-bar sill panels. The 914-6
also had a rear-bumper shape different than its 4-cylinder brethren
with vertical versus angled delineations creating the
center-section indentation. The 914-6 was a limited-production
automobile with only 3,300 examples built from 1970-72. However, it
had a major impact on the automotive world during its short
three-year production run. It was the recipient of international
acclaim in 1970 when it took first in class at the famous 24 Hours
of Le Mans race. It also found major-league racing success
stateside when it won the 1971 IMSA GTU Championship-winning five
out of the six races in the series-piloted by ace Porsche drivers
Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood. It was a brilliant design with an
amidship engine placement, a 911 front suspension, 4-wheel disc
brakes, a 5-speed gearbox and fully independent rear suspension.
This 914-6 is a beautifully finished sports car ready to conquer
new roads.
