Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Porsche 914/6 'M471' is an exceedingly rare homologation special, being the 2nd of just 23 factory-built examples of the street-legal GT. It has fascinating provenance and storied ownership, including being used as a factory demonstrator and camera car, and later owned by notable Porsche employees Erich Strenger and Gerhard Blendstrup. The car was sold for $544,000 USD.
Condition
8
The car has been restored to a significant previous state, including a repaint in the original Tangerine color and replacement of interior components with NOS parts. While the listing mentions routine maintenance since the restoration, it does not provide specifics on current mechanical condition or any outstanding issues. Therefore, rating it as "Excellent" seems appropriate, as it is very well-maintained with minimal cosmetic imperfections following the restoration.

2 OF 23; A FACTORY CAMERA CAR Porsche factory documentation indicates that this 914/6, car number 0233, is the 2nd of 15 M471 examples produced in 1971.
It was delivered new to Hahn Volkswagen-Porsche and clothed in Tangerine paint over a black leatherette interior, with further factory specifications including GT-spec front and rear anti-roll...
