Equipment
1991cc six, 5-speed, Fuchs wheels, roll bar, rally lights and equipment.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of three factory works cars built for the 1971 Monte Carlo rally, used as a reconnaissance car for that year's Targa Florio, and kept by Porsche until 1973. Restored by an ex-Porsche race engineer in the 2000s. Older paint with cracks under the A-pillar, and some minor scratches to the windshield trim. The engine is mostly clean and shows light usage. The seats do show wear with some bunching to the seat material. A former works race car with the use to show for it.
Market commentary
In turning the six-cylinder 914/6 into the track- and rally-ready 914/6 GT, Porsche added steel fender flares to accommodate wider Fuchs alloy wheels and fitted fiberglass deck lids, rocker panels, and bumpers. Antiroll bars at both ends, 911S ventilated brakes, Plexiglas rear and side windows, an extra front oil cooler, a long-range fuel tank, and competition interior completed the package. The 914/6 GT was an accomplished car with numerous class wins in top level motorsport, and although this one never won anything, it's rare, genuine, correct and has factory race history. The reported high bid would have been a record price for a 914, but apparently the seller thinks even more highly of it.
