Hi,

Does anyone know how rare a factory 1970 914-6 GT is? My step dad recently came arcoss one and is currently putting it all together (parts had been removed). So if anybody knows much about them or even better, how much they go for at an auction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Really really rare if it is in fact an authentic GT.

Here's Armando Serrano's site with more information and pictures than one can possibly go through

A geniune GT is rare, and worth big money (six figures). However, there are a LOT of replicas, as they're not particularly difficult to make. A really nicely done replica made from a real 914-6 could fetch more than $20K, perhaps a good bit more. A replica made from a 914-4 (look at the VIN, a real 914-6 will start with 914, a conversion from a 4 will start with 47) will fetch less, perhaps $15K if nicely done, perhaps less.

Look where he is posting from.

The number one dealership in the early 70's for converting the 9146's to GT's and M471's was located in Kansas. Art Bunker?? I think was the name of the dealership.

It wouldnt surprise me at all if he has a dealer converted car.

Show us pics.

The Kremer car was on the blocks for $145k almost 8 years ago. The market for that type of stuff was the softest then as I've seen it. I'd estimate $30k north of that now... depends on what it is.

Since this is your first post, everyone was so stirred up with a mention of a 914-6 GT, that they forgot to welcome you! So there it is! Welcome to the world headquarters of 914 info.
Just give us the VIN number and watch the reaction. Also, send for a Certificate of Authenticity which will be helpful for the history of the car. (Pictures when you can)

A real 914/6-GT isn't worth that much. Maybe $1500 or so. It's probably not worth the time to restore it. Lucky for you, I'm looking for a project car and I would be willing to pay $1200 or so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

prices vary widely, cars with actual porsche racing history tend to fetch quite a few bucks ...

here's a list of known factory GT VIN numbers, compare and cross your fingers ...

914 043 0019
914 043 0705
914 043 0709
914 043 0983
914 043 1640
914 043 1732
914 043 2541
914 043 2542
914 043 2543
914 143 0139
914 143 0140
914 143 0141

anything other than that was dealer/customer build and will not be quite as rare and/or expensive.

oh, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

sorta ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) the factory build some for customers, some were build by dealers and some were build by customers (using the m471 kit i presume) ...

point was, a car with know racing history will fetch far more money ...

Yes, known racing history is the biggest factor. That is why I'm doing my best to research my friends car. Records that are searchable on the net are scarce. Of course the other cars noted in the material get added to the database as well. There are a lot of cars out there that we don't know the whereabouts of. As Brad says, Art Bunker was well known to have fielded a team back in the day. I don't know if any are accounted for yet. Overland Park is just a few miles from Kansas City, so it seems to be a good prospect. Anyone else from the area?

Saw this one on www.mroks.com:

Porsche 914/6 Group-4, 1970.

This Porsche 914/6 Group-4 car was fitted with a type 901/25 engine
in March 1970 by the Swedish importer.
VW-Sweden entered the car in the 1970 Swedish National Championship.
It was then driven by Leif Hansen who finished 2nd in class.
Except for the national Swedish races the car was also entered in some
international races run in Sweden.

In 1970 this car was the Speed Record Holder in the Röforsbacken Hill
Climb, driven as a private entry by well known Björn Waldegärd.
The car continued racing in Sweden in the hands of various local drivers
until 1999.

In 2000 the car went to a new owner in Southern Europe who had the car
prepared again to top-level in today’s historic racing.
All work and preparation to this car have been done to the highest level.
The car is a very fast, reliable and competitive car.
It has FIA papers and is road-registered within the EEC.
