The Porsche 914, initially a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, was conceived as an entry-level sports car for both brands. While the four-cylinder versions became a sales success for Volkswagen, Porsche enthusiasts coveted the rarer 914-6. Introduced in 1970, the 914-6 elevated the platform significantly, replacing the VW-sourced flat-four with Porsche's own 2.0-liter flat-six engine, derived from the 911T. This transformation not only boosted power output but also fundamentally altered the car's character, imbuing it with a true Porsche soul. With only 3,351 examples produced between 1970 and 1972, the 914-6 quickly became a sought-after model, celebrated for its sublime mid-engine balance, lightweight chassis, and accessible performance that rivaled its more expensive 911 siblings. This exceptional 1970 Porsche 914-6 Targa stands as a testament to that legacy, presented in its rare and captivating factory Gemini Blue paintwork. Under its iconic removable targa top resides the original 2.0-liter flat-six engine, paired with a manual transmission, promising an engaging and unadulterated air-cooled driving experience. With a remarkably low 1,151 miles indicated, this specific example offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Porsche history in a distinctive and highly desirable configuration. This is a chance to own a genuine enthusiast's Porsche, combining rarity, performance, and an iconic aesthetic.
