I'm surprised to see a retail dealer listing a 914-6 at over $100k.
Yes, it is an exceptional clean original example, but no unique provenance or ultra low mileage, etc.

Dealer's Description:
This 1970 914-6 is an exquisite example that presents in beautiful, factory correct condition, rolling on a set of fully restored and highly desirable Mahle “Gas Burner” alloys. The correct and desirable Tangerine paintwork is striking; applied to an arrow straight and expertly aligned body. The chrome bumpers are of similar quality, excellently presented and trimmed with fresh rubber impact strips. Correct black vinyl covers the pillars and roof which is correctly trimmed with silver anodized alloy moldings. It almost goes without saying that the structure is solid and rust free, with the troublesome “hell hole” under the battery in excellent order.
One of the great charms of the 914 is the basic, no frills nature of the cabin. Correct pattered vinyl seats are in excellent condition, having been fully restored and seeing little use since. Fresh Perlon carpet has been expertly fitted, and the dash is in beautiful condition, free of cracks or sun damage. It still wears its correct original steering wheel and shift knob, both items that are commonly lost and highly desirable to restorers. The special alloy trim on the fascia is straight and clean, brightening up the cockpit just enough while still maintaining that serious Teutonic character.
Of course the magic of the 914-6 lies behind the seats in the form of the jewel-like 2.0-liter, air-cooled flat-six that produces 110 horsepower at 5800 rpm, giving the featherweight 914 a proper 911-hunting turn of speed. This particular car wears its original, numbers-matching engine which has been restored to a very high quality standard. The engine bay is well detailed and very tidy. Power is fed through a 5-speed manual gearbox which delivers crisp, positive shift feel.
This is a very well sorted, mechanically excellent 914-6 that also happens to also have gorgeous cosmetics. The sale includes a factory tool kit, owner’s manual, service booklet, both keys (red and black) and an official Certificate of Authenticity which confirms the matching numbers and desirable specification. As values skyrocket on air-cooled Porsches of all types, it will become difficult to repeat an opportunity on such a rare, collectible and high-quality 914-6.
