You need to learn how to take pictures with your phone and not depend on the auto-rotation of your viewing software of choice to rotate them for you.

Nice article.
Not sure I see a 904 ressemblance

Interesting to see that the 916 front bumper/valance inspirations was already there on the picture.

Probably still have that issue in the attic somewhere... back when the first P+A dealerships were opening, one of my best friends and I got to drive an early euro model 4 from Minneapolis to Cedar Rapids, IA for the opening of the new Gruber Porsche+Audi dealership.

from October 1969 R&T, an early "spy" photo of a 914/6......

I read that article, and others like it, and then went to a travel agent and ordered my -6 for delivery in Europe, where I was going to be stationed with the army. Picked it up in Brussels in April of 70 and had it ever since!
