This 1974 Porsche 914 occupies a clearly defined niche in the market. It is not a factory-original car, but a 914-6 GT–style replica, built to reproduce the appearance and overall concept of the competition-derived 914-6 GT models. According to the seller, the project was started about five years ago by Circle Porsche in Long Beach, California, with an estimated investment of around $82,000, but the car was never completed at that stage. After the dealership was sold to Fletcher Jones, the car was not retailed and no receipts were released, as the new ownership did not want to assume responsibility for a build they had not carried out. The current owner acquired the unfinished project and completed it.
Mechanically, the car is described as a 914-6 fitted with a Porsche six-cylinder engine originally based on the 2.0-liter unit and enlarged to 2.7 liters. No detailed technical specifications are provided regarding internal components or output, but the seller emphasizes its performance character. A 911-type muffler is fitted, in line with the car’s sporting intent. The vehicle has reportedly covered very few miles since completion, although it has been sitting unused for approximately three years, an aspect that should be taken into account when considering recommissioning.
The body has been extensively modified with steel GT fenders front and rear and finished in a Gulf-inspired racing livery, with blue paint and orange stripes. The car rides on 16-inch Fuchs wheels with tires, reinforcing the visual link to period Porsche competition cars. Overall, this is not a car aimed at the originality-focused collector, but rather a high-impact restomod, whose value depends on execution quality, mechanical condition, and coherence of the build, rather than factory correctness or documented provenance.
