914-6 “R”, Where does the R designation fit into the 914-6 history Options

[gereed75]

I have recently had a reason to look at the lineage of the factory 914-6 number 1543 owned by Tony Samojen and documented on Armando’s pbase 914-6 GT website. The original window sticker is shown there. It refers to this car in two places as a 914-6 “R”. No mention of GT

We talk about GT’s and M471 optioned cars, but it seems there is more significance to the R designation than the more commonly used GT designation.

This particular car was special ordered through a dealership and It seems that it was intended more as a street car. Kinda like the Cayman GT 4 RS. No GT roll bar.

I suspect vintage GT guru Glenn Staszak could provide more insight.

what is with the PORSCHE + AUDI? not see on any WS I have!
the frame line around the WS
the LOAD note is not seen on any 914/6 WS I have
the invoice # of 76350 is way out of line, should be in the 102xx range
Body type not seen on any 914/6 WS I have
Look at the multiple differences in the Distributor name & address
Port of Entry is different
5-speed transmission is the typical and only N.C. option listed
The whole bottom section is different including the address

option M471 is the fender flairs with wider rims & spacers, not on factory list of options (note: M471 for 911 is very different)
option M220 is the LSD, not on factory list of options


Quote Zoomcat: Here’s an example of a window sticker for a humble 1970 six. Destination charges weren’t listed separately.

Guy, that is a bill of sale. Very nice document to have. About the only other way to know the selling dealer.
