i have come across a 914-6 replica (very good job) the car is in great shape, no flares, 2.0 6 cyl engine and since it is for sale i was wondering , what is the going rate for such cars.
thanks
Post pics and asking price and we pick/comment away...
ni pics for now, but the car is in great shape, everything -6 about it, even the rear valence. it had its paint freshly redone at my friend's garage, so i know it's a top job, no rust whatsoever.....
the guy wants around 15k....
how close is he to reality?
you can get a decent real six for $15k which will always hold value. probably not as nice with new paint and all, but I don't understand why anyone would go through the trouble to make a factory six "clone" with a stock 2.0?

I agree with what they said. $15K is pushing it for a conversion with only a 2L engine. I usually see conversions with larger or hotter motors selling in the $10-13K range.
If the car really is cherry with new paint and top notch/factory conversion parts were used I'd consider offering around $12K with eye towards dropping in a 3.2L motor.
Put it this way:
Mint condition 4 banger with fresh paint $6-$10K
conversion parts to make it into a six $4K
six cylinder motor $2-$10

it has a freshly rebuilt 915 'box, oem oil tanks and the whole lot of conversion parts, dash mounted key, specific trim, etc... my guess is that the parts have been salvaged from a wrecked -6 and plugged into that car, it just has too many -6 specific details.
it looks like the real thing except for the vin.
plus it has a custom SS exhaust....
are you sure it really has a 915? that is not stock for a 914-6. if so, all the better for dropping a hot 3.2L in at some point and getting rid of the wimpy 2.0T (if it is a T) motor.
i'm sure it's a 915, i've helped rebuild it, the guy was thinking about dropping a 2.4 in it, thus the 'box, a rebuilt 2.4 should go for $4k, but i can get a deal on one for $2k, so if i get the car for $10k, it should be interesting

If you are thinking about going with a Bigger motor and you have a 915 go 3.0 or bigger |
