1971 Porsche 914-6

This classic 1971 Porsche 914-6, manufactured in the era of disco and muscle cars, stands out as a timeless icon of German automotive engineering. Originally introduced in California, this particular model has since found its way to Glendale, Wisconsin, bringing its sporty charm to the heartland of America. Unlike other models, such as the Porsche 914 or even its contemporaries like the Volkswagen Beetle and Mercedes-Benz models prevalent during that time, the 914-6 is distinguished by its mid-engine layout, embodying a design philosophy reminiscent of sports cars from the Italian peninsula. With its sleek body crafted in fiberglass, the car boasts an aerodynamic profile that echoes Porsche's racing heritage. Powered by a robust and responsive 2.0-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, coupled with a reliable five-speed manual transaxle, it offers an unmistakable driving experience, providing both raw power and precision handling. However, this isn't just a classic car left to gather dust; it has been meticulously maintained by its current owner, who acquired it in May 2023 through Bring A Trailer. Subsequent work has ensured the car is well-prepared for today's roads, including resealing the engine, adjusting valves, cleaning carburetors, and overhauling critical systems like braking and cooling. Despite these updates, it retains its vintage character, with an interior adorned in classic Porsche styling that takes riders back decades just by stepping inside. With a current bid on Bring A Trailer at $102,000, this 1971 Porsche 914-6 is more than just a piece of history; it's a testament to automotive design and engineering that continues to captivate enthusiasts today.
