1970 914-6 For Sale from Estate, 74k original miles with extra 2.2 S with 800 miles Options

[toolguy]

This Six is still available. . given the rise in Six prices in the last two years, this is a bargain. . The owners price is the same as in 2014. . . and the value of the extra 2.2 S motor has gone up also..


I have been asked by the family / estate to offer their 914-6 for sale. . The gentleman who owned the car was a very long time PCA member and as such, this was his baby. . It has remained unused in the estate for the last 7 years, carefully preserved and stored, and they feel it is now time to move forward with the cars sale. . .

This is a later production 1970 914-6 {Vin = 914-043-24xx}, all numbers matching. It has a PCA COA and complete ownership documentation since original delivery. It was sold by Bill Yates Porsche on 11-1-1971 and has lived its entire life in Southern California. Now owned since March 1987 by the 4th documented owner. Mileage is currently at 74200 total documented miles and it is in excellent condition. Other than routine starting and maintenance, it has not seen the road since the owners passing in early 2007. It does have current California title and registration. It has had 1 repaint in the original factory Metallic Silver which was done by one of San Diego’s best Porsche paint shops.. No known accidents or body damage. No rust is evident, visible or known of. The car has competed in local Zone 8 PCA Concours, the last documented date was San Diego Region 1992 with a 1st place.

Here is where it gets really interesting > The owner was a dedicated 914-6 aficionado. He loved driving the car and knew the value of keeping the car original. . As such, he had the original 901-38 {#640XXXX} engine removed and preserved in late 2006 with 73486 original miles and it was in perfect running condition. He then had a local Porsche Specialist shop build and install a correct original factory 2.2 S motor which is now in the car. Due to his passing shortly after that, the S motor now has less than 800 miles on it. Full documentation available with an extensive new parts list totaled right at $14K for the motor. The car was/is extremely fast and reliable. Both motors are included in the sale, as well as a few other original Six parts which he removed and preserved. The car has the correct 5.5 x 14 inch Fuchs, including the spare.

And for the best part. . the extensive spare parts he accumulated.
There are literally hundreds of pictures of many rare, vintage original parts. .most significant of which is a set of 5 Mahle ‘Gas Burners’ with tires. Should the buyer of the car chose, these may be included with the car for their market value, but will not be sold outright.
There are 3 set of Euro tail lens’, a pair of NIB-NOS 914 Euro Fog Lights, a set of NIB-NOS Cibie Halogen headlights, plus around a hundred or so other parts, some NIB unused. He parted out another 914-4 and has boxes and boxes of used parts carefully stored.

Parts will be available, as a group purchase, to the buyer of the car with 1st right of refusal.

Car with original 2.0 914-6 {motor stored on pallet} and 2.2S motor installed- offered at $95K
[ The estate arrived at their price using comparison sales, with $75k as consistent for similar low mileage, documented Six's; and $20k for a fresh 2.2S motor. However, until the car is sold, the "S" motor will not be available separately].

pretty well kept but I see many sixes for 75-80 large that come in the running so if he wants to sell it at that price I think he needs to throw in the goodies! Not to devalue a truly beautiful driver. Really gasburners aren't that rare? But what do I know maybe it all came out of the factory with each and every one of those bolts.There are very few 914-6 in true concour form!

Beautiful car! Good luck with the sale. (I really need to change my user id since a -6 is now a pipe dream...)

I have been contacted by qualified buyer. I have a question. Does the 2.0 still have it's carbs or are they on the 2.2 and re-jetted?

This car has been for sale a long time. Maybe that is saying something. Is it the car? the price? the approach? I can't help but say what others here haven't seem to be able to do. You make it sound like there are buyers falling off the trees to buy the 2.2. There is little difference with the 911 guys hunting for their numbers matching engine than a 914-6 guy hunting for their numbers matching engine. Unless you have the chassis for the engine there is little benefit in installing the wrong 2.2 when you can get a 3.2 for less than half the price of that moon pie. I know a guy that was told his 2.2 was worth a fortune until he tried to sell it in the open market. Then everyone vanished. I hope your not glossing this up to the estate. Sounds like they need someone to help them come to terms with what they have and let them move on. Sure you can nickel and dime it out if you own the stuff and have the connections but it doesn't sound like this is where the family is at. Package it up and move it all out the door. Give this family some closure.
