1970 Porsche 914/6

We are excited to offer on behalf of one of our clients, this outstanding 1970 Porsche 914-6.

For many years, 2shores has been offering selected, finest grade examples of collectible automobiles. This unique race inspired 914-6 is one of those examples!

Porsche’s 914/6 variant featured the 2.0 L air-cooled Type 901/3 flat-six engine from the 1967–1969 911T model.
All engines were placed amidships in front of a version of the 1969 911’s “901” gearbox configured for a mid-engined sports car. Karmann manufactured the rolling chassis at their plant, completing Volkswagen production in-house or delivering versions to Porsche for their final assembly.

The 914/6 models came with lower gear ratios and larger brakes to compensate for the greater weight and higher power output of the six-cylinder model. They also featured five-lug wheels and an ignition on the left side of the steering wheel. Suspension and handling were otherwise mostly the same. A Volkswagen-Porsche joint venture, Volkswagen of America, handled export to the U.S., where both versions were badged and sold as Porsches. The four-cylinder cars were sold as Volkswagen-Porsches at European Volkswagen dealerships.

Our customer’s car is a unique and race inspired “outlaw” that has been built about 25 years ago using extremely cool components. The engine is a 3.0l SC with Cosworth internals and 46mm Weber carbs with 10.5:1 compression ratio. The massive exhaust is a hand built Monty Muffler from Australia which sounds absolutely amazing! The power is directed through a 915 transmission with a very early Wevo race shifter. Large 993 twin Turbo brakes get this aggressive outlaw wheeled in again. The car has a reinforced chassis with real steel flares and a full roll cage. It is a remarkably straight and 100% rust-free car! Finished in period correct tangerine.

This 914 was born a true 914-6 and first sold on March 4th 1971 at Barbour’s Porsche Audi to a Mr. Robert G. Gieske in Escondido, CA. The original owner’s manual and service booklet are still with the car.

The car comes with toolkit and jack, no spare.

This car is the definition of a canyon carver, a raw and inspiring driving machine with go kart handling and tons of power and sound.
