I had a friend that had a 914-6GT. It was the lowest mileage, most original of those cars in the world. I had hoped to have a chance to buy it from him when he decided to eventually sell it, but I wasn’t standing right in front of him when he decided to sell it and so it got sold to somebody else. Story of my life, I missed several cars in that same way.
It was a hell of a car. He spun it once in a track event, when I was chasing him hard in one of my 930s and I just about T-boned him. As bad as I would have felt for wadding my 930, I would have felt worse for wiping out the most original GT in the world. I think that was the last time I had that 930 on the track, except for the occasional lap to take one of the rugrats around to see what it was all about.
