1970 914-6.... European spec real 914-6 imported to US in 2015.

Attached Image


Factory GT flares and other mods installed in the 1980's by the long time owner, a Dutch Porsche dealer. Engine was built at that time by Willem van den Berg Sr., who ran a Race/Rally shop in Apledoorn (Netherlands) called 'Auto Van Den Berg'. The 2.7L-case based 1976 engine is said to be 2.9L now, fitted with 2.4/2.7L 911S '013' MFI set up to '019' RS-spec. Actual mileage not confirmed. No engine paperwork with car, unfortunately.

Originally Signal Orange. Interesting history. Full COA included with serial numbers. Email for 100+ photo link.
Thanks

SOLD ....

Thanks for responses and questions, many of which have questioned the bumpers on the car. They are not common aftermarket pieces, but very unique. I recently found out that the bumpers were made by a German enthusiast who campaigned a competition 914-6 in Europe at one time and who had contacts at the Porsche competition department (privateer of sorts). His car's engine also was 2.7L MFI based. He made 2 sets of bumpers, one set went on his car (which he sold in 1984 and is in the US now) and the spare set which ended up on my car. Perhaps the owners exchanged ideas and parts. They were both also huge 356 enthusiasts and 356 club founders.
