914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Closing in 4 hours on Ebay

Posted by: computers4kids Jan 29 2006, 03:05 PM

Here's a V-8 project in pieces closing on ebay in 4 hours. The devil in me says it could be a fun project! It's only a couple hours from where I live.

What's this pile of parts worth with the 914? As you see it, what are some of the major items missing?
Tell me to not go down that road...I'm surely tempted!
Thanks, Mark

my guess is the reserve is far higher than the current bid. could be a rude wakeup call for the seller even though he has thrown lots of money at parts. edit: the picture showing the driver's side door handle is unsettling. big potential for issues.

Realistically, it is worth what ever someone will pay for it. The conversion parts he has there are probably worth around 1500 and the engine if it is complete and ready to assemble is worth another 1200, then it is just a matter of what you would pay for the car. I would not use the radiator setup he has there, I would go for the Renegade setup and that will cost you another 1k. Then it is just a matter of putting it all together. Could be a fun project, but I would not spend more than 2500 for it on Ebay. You dont know really what condition the car is actually in.

Oh, it is only about 30 minutes from me.
