The Spirit of Porsche Rally
American Jeff Zwart bought his first car—this 1970 Porsche 914/6—using money that he earned and invested during high school. The lightweight and well-balanced 914 was released as an entry-level car for the 1970 model year with a 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine. The 914/6 variant was more performance oriented, with a 110-horsepower flat-6 engine. After owning the car for nearly two decades, Zwart modified it for rally racing. It features an oil cooler, two ignition systems, a rally clock, and a custom hatch cut between the seats to allow for easy maintenance.
