1973 Porsche 914-6 “GT”
Chassis No.: 4732919600REQUEST A printable PDF document with Photos
The Porsche Factory only built 36 914-6 GTs for racing in the early 1970’s, since then the mystique of the GT has grown to become one of the most collectable Porsches today. If the Porsche factory had continued the development of the 914-6 beyond its three-year production run the result would have been a car such as this. The mid engine layout of the 914 coupled with a 250 HP 911 engine, Turbo brakes, and racing suspension raises the performance level of this car to the highest levels. An outstanding track car as well as a true grand touring car.
This car started life as a 1973 914 four that had the good fortune to be owned by Jack Kuhn, a very enthusiastic PCA member avid autocrosser and vintage racer. Kuhn kept the car spotless and set it up for autocross and time trial competition. 914-6 brakes, Weltmiester suspension, and a competition roll bar were installed resulting in a very competitive car.
Ralph Borelli purchased the car from Kuhn in the mid 1990’s. Borelli wanted to create the ultimate 914. The idea was to create a 914-6 that the factory would have built if development had continued. Nothing on the car was left untouched and over $100,000 was spent to create this one of a kind 914-6 “GT”. The new 3.4 liter engine was built by Retro Sport and has only run four test sessions at Laguna Seca. The new transmission has only 500 miles of street use.
