According to the Porsche Certificate, this 914-6 was delivered to
Competition Motors in Culver City, California. The 914-6 was
delivered on June 1, 1970, in Canary Yellow (2910) with Black
leatherette and a basketweave interior. Options include Finland
equipment, leather-covered steering wheel, fog lights, and forged
Fuch alloy 5.5" x 14" wheels. Finished in its factory color
combination with excellent gaps and panel fit. The paintwork is in
pristine condition with original glass, replacement windshield and
the chrome bumpers are in excellent condition. The Fuch alloy
wheels have been professionally refinished with new Vredestein
Sprint Classic 185 HR 14 tires. The original interior is in
excellent condition with only one small hairline crack in the
original dash.
In late 2020, European Collectibles purchased this 914-6; it was
very straight and rust-free. The driveline was removed, and a full
repaint was performed to the original color Canary Yellow. After
the paintwork was completed, the body was reassembled using the
original hardware and factory trim.
Mechanically, the top-end of the engine was rebuilt, the flywheel
was resurfaced, a new clutch was installed, the shifter bushings
were replaced, and the entire braking system was refreshed. This
improved braking system included rebuilt brake calipers, brake
pads, brake hoses, and a master cylinder. The transmission was
rebuilt including new synchro rings, 1st, and reverse shift
sleeves, 1st gear teeth, 2nd, and 3rd operating sleeve, along with
new gaskets and seals. New heat exchangers and a new Dansk exhaust
were also installed. The undercarriage is all original and was Ice
Blasted including the wheel wells and is truly in amazing
condition. The entire suspension was stripped to steel, repainted,
and selective hardware was CAD plated. The end result is an
excellent running and driving 914-6 that has been cosmetically and
mechanically restored to as it was when it left the Porsche
factory.
Powered by its matching number 2.0-liter Flat Six engine with a
5-speed manual dogleg transmission. It drives amazing with plenty
of power, smooth shifting transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, spare tire, and
toolkit. The 914-6 is becoming is limited to find and few of them
are as well sorted and finished to this level.
History
The 914-6 was produced between 1970 to 1972 and utilized a
carbureted version of Porsche's six-cylinder engine. The suspension
was upgraded to better accommodate the increased output of 110 hp.
Porsche also produced 32 factory-built, race-prepped versions of
the 914-6 GT. Another 455 914-6s were either ordered with the
"Competition Option Group" GT package or were upfitted with a
factory kit.
