1970 PORSCHE 914/6 TARGA

In the late 1960's Porsche and Volkswagen thought they could replace two aging models with one. For VW it was the Karman Ghia and for Porsche it was the 4 cylinder 912. For VW it would be sporty show room star and for Porsche it would tap into entry level sports car market. The two companies went into a “gentlemen's agreement” that produced the Porsche 914.

We have for auction an excellent example of an early 914/6. This Porsche 914 is the 150th 6 built and only 2 owners from new, with the current owner in possession for 37 years. The vehicle is all original with the exception of one high quality repaint in the original Signal Yellow. This is a great driver's car meant to be driven. It was the featured in a cover story that appeared in Hemmings' SPORT & EXOTIC magazine. It is also a multiple car show winner.

It has its original Blaupunkt Frankfort AM/FM radio, Optima battery, original complete tool kit, and owner's manual. This Porsche is completely rust free, and stored in a heated and cooled garage. Current owner has all maintenance records.

Estimate: $100,000 - 110,000
