When Porsche sought to expand its market reach in the late 1960s, a collaboration with Volkswagen birthed the 914. Launched in 1969, it was initially conceived as an entry-level sports car for Porsche and a halo sports car for VW. While the four-cylinder models were produced in significant numbers, the rarer 914/6, powered by a detuned version of the 911T's 2.0-liter flat-six engine, was the true enthusiast's choice. With its mid-engine layout, removable targa top, and nimble handling, the 914/6 offered a unique driving experience and a more accessible entry into six-cylinder Porsche ownership, with only 3,351 examples built between 1970 and 1972. Of those, a mere 2,760 were produced in 1970, making early examples particularly sought after. This 1970 Porsche 914/6 stands as a testament to that original vision, presenting in a well-preserved state with 0 miles since its comprehensive refresh. Having resided with a Connecticut collector since 2001, this Targa has clearly been cherished. While it received a repaint many years ago, its recently refreshed interior ensures a welcoming cabin for its next pilot. The car retains its original 14-inch Fuchs wheels, a crucial detail for period correctness, and is accompanied by its original maintenance book and a Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring its provenance. The 5-speed manual transmission promises an engaging connection to the flat-six engine, ready to deliver the spirited driving dynamics the 914/6 is renowned for. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Porsche history, ready for its next chapter.
