Chassis no. 9141430383; Engine no. 6414137. Signal Orange over black vinyl. 1991/110hp, 5-speed, Fuchs wheels, pushbutton radio.

Evaluation: Matching numbers. Previously owned by Chip Ganassi. Fully restored to like new condition and gorgeous top to bottom, inside and out. There is a large blister near the radio antenna, but that’s the only real flaw. The 60,937 miles showing are believed to be original.

Bottom Line: This car was reported sold at Russo and Steel Monterey in 2017 for $115,500. That was a monumental result at the time and appreciation for 914s, especially excellent condition six-cylinder models like this, has only grown since then. The days of 914s being considered ugly ducklings and not “real” Porsches are way past us. Six-figures is what it takes to buy a really good 914/6 these days, and this one exceeded expectations even considering its good color and stellar condition.
