Description for Porsche 914 1970
If you have been considering adding a 914-6 to your collection or just want one of the best handling Porsches ever built you have found it! If you want the very best I believe this is the one for sure. Original owner is famous Porsche/Audi race car driver John Buffum. John Buffum owned the car for close to 40 years. John Buffum is also known as the greatest Rally car driver ever as he won many championships under Audi Quattro and also competed in the first Cannonball Run with his wife Vicky. It was then sold to the manager of Stoddard Porsche where a rottisserie restoration was done. There he oversaw that the restoration was done to the highest level possible! There are absolutely no aftermarket parts used. Steve had access to O. E. M. Porsche parts as alot of rare parts were stashed away at many Porsche dealerships throughout the world. The fact that this 914-6 had only 35. 00 original miles he was able to use alot of original parts as the interior is 100% original. If you are truly looking for a great porsche that is a solid investment and is both great to drive and look at please read more. HISTORY: John Buffum purchased this 914-6 from Al Alden's Porsche. White River Jct. . VT in August 1971 (have the original invoice). John would drive this around town and to local race tracks such as Watkins Glenn. John enjoyed driving the 914-6 as he felt that this was the best handling/balanced Porsche at the time. John also was racing for Porsche as he had just competed in LeMans in a 914-6 GT. John kept the car until approx. 2008 and then sold it to the manager of Stoddard Porsche. A complete rotisserie nut and bolt restoration was then performed. The mileage is true and accurate and supported by both registrations and receipts as there are substantial receipts and records.
