Equipment
1991cc flat-six, 5-speed, 2x3 Weber carburetors, Fuchs wheels, Michelin XWX tires, gold brightwork, Blaupunkt radio, tools, passenger foot rest.
Condition
Rare M471 options, one of just 23 914/6s so-equipped. Delivered new in Virginia. Matching numbers and restored in its original colors. Small bubble in the paint on the right front and light scratches in the right rear trim but mostly good exterior. Excellent interior.
Market commentary
A homologation special conjured up to qualify an uprated 914/6 for SCCA C-Production racing, the M471 equipment added steel flares and front valence, wheel spacers, flared fiberglass rockers and wide Fuchs wheels. It isn't a widely known car but its exalted stature among mid-engined Porsches is shown by this result, even if it is less than the $626,500 it sold for at RM Sotheby's Monterey in 2021. Regular 914/6s are worth a fraction of this, and even race-proven 914/6 GTs have sold for less.
