Still more obscurity turning up, or.., reference to an early /6 GT "clone' Options

[1970 Neun vierzehn]

In the interesting book, "A French Kiss with Death", the authors write " In the next two weeks Jo (Siffert) and Paul (Blancpain) bought four Porsche 911s, a Porsche 914, two Chevron B19 coupes, and a Corvette. As soon as they were purchased, the cars were belivered to Franco Sbarro's garage in the Swiss town of Yverdon, where fender flares were added, roll bars installed, and other modifications made to transform street cars into passable race cars."

So in 1970, a 914, surely a /6, was transformed into a reasonbly passable copy of what has turned out to be a very famous 914, Sonauto #40. I'd be surprised if this movie "stand-in" got all the requisite upgrades befitting a proper /6 GT, but I wonder what became of it, if it survived, and who owns it now?

based on my knowledge, the 2nd car (the film-double) was 914.0.43.1017, the later Sunoco #5 car
