Sold new at Dick Barbour Porsche - Audi of La Mesa, California, this Porsche's delivery service is noted in the original service booklet as taking place on 17 September 1970. As the service booklet shows, the original owner initially used this sporting 914/6 on trips between Southern California and Las Vegas. The car is believed to have remained in California, with its current owner purchasing it in 2022.

The current owner acquired the car post-restoration, with the bodywork resplendent in Silver Metallic and a fresh Black interior. The restoration wasn't just skin-deep; the engine and transmission were expertly rebuilt by Holleran's Performance between September 2019 and January 2021, with a total investment of just over $52,000. The matching numbers 2.0-liter flat-six was rebuilt to a modified 911 S-spec with increased 85-mm LN Engineering "Nickies" cylinders, boosting the engine's displacement to 2.2 liters. A new knife-edged lighted crankshaft with the stock 66 mm stroke and paired with Pauter custom connecting rods and custom forged thermal-coated pistons. To feed the freshly overhauled engine, the Weber carburetors were rebuilt along with the five-speed manual transmission that has been upgraded with a limited-slip differential. With the transmission very close to the Karmann body number, it is believed that this is the car's original transmission.

The Porsche 914/6 offers an attractive, mid-engine alternative to the early 911, and this nicely restored example, with additional power from its matching numbers air-cooled flat-six, presents an especially compelling choice. The car is accompanied by invoices documenting the mechanical work performed by Holleran's Performance, a tool roll, and its original service booklet.
