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.
