1976 Porsche 914 Built as a 914/6 GT Tribute with 3.0-Liter Flat-Six
About this vehicle
What began as a 914 shell has ended up somewhere far more serious. Picked up as a solid 914/6 conversion, the car was taken the rest of the way to 914/6 GT standards — steel fender flares, a full repaint in orange by Auto Associates in Canton, CT, and a thorough mechanical sort of the 3.0-liter six. Stripped, caged, orange over black: it's as committed to the track as the original GT cars were always meant to be.
The steel GT-style fender flares fill out the stance hard. Black fiberglass bumpers and valances back up the orange repaint, joined by a custom front bumper with an enlarged air inlet and a GT-style engine cover. Pop-up headlights, Hella auxiliary front lights, and European-style lenses handle illumination, while chrome dual side mirrors, black sail panels, and a removable roof panel finish the body details. A front tow hook and tow-bar mounts are fitted. Fifteen-inch Fuchs wheels with black-finished recesses wear Toyo Proxes tires, and the suspension's been dropped for a purposeful stance.
The interior is bare where it counts. A padded roll cage, GT-style fixed-back bucket seats, and multi-point harnesses set the tone immediately, and the details keep coming from there: a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel on an NRG quick-release hub, RS America-style door panels, a RennShift shifter, aluminum pedals and floor panels, lightweight window handles, and a fire extinguisher. Orange-and-black Coco floor mats throw in a splash of color. Replacement VDO instrumentation covers the essentials, with all gauges reported to function as intended.
The original four-cylinder is gone. A 3.0-liter flat-six pulled from a 911SC now occupies the rear, breathing through Weber 40IDT carburetors and fitted with a Vellios oil tank, a front-mounted oil cooler, and a Magnaflow exhaust. Drive goes rearward through a 5-speed manual transaxle with 914/6 stub axles. Wilwood four-piston front calipers clamp over cross-drilled rotors, backed by a 19mm master cylinder and rear PMB Performance calipers. Up front, 911 Carrera suspension components are fitted with boxed trailing arms, Turbo tie rods, and Bilstein shocks. The engine was tuned prior to sale, fluids and belts freshened, and the selling specialist noted no weak points.
Per the seller: the car shifts perfectly, is extremely fast, and draws attention wherever it appears. It's leaving only because the seller is funding the launch of the new Revolution Hypersport at DAS Sport Classics.
Sale includes a clean title, one key, and a collection of spares: the removed engine cover, original seats, door panels, under-dash pad, a tow bar, and a spare wheel and tire.
