It no saled at $200K, its what someone is willing to pay for a very rare Porsche.

Its worth whatever you will pay for it.

IMHO its worth about $200k not the dreamland $350k AA has on theirs.

The one that sold 2 years ago in pieces sold for what $100K plus....

Economics 101 says the value of an item is equal to whatever someone will pay for it. (Or somethin' like that)

B. T. Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute. (Or somethin' like that)

With the '73 Carrera RS going for around $150K these days (they made like 1300 of them), $200K for a prototype 916 seems reasonable.

But the value in this car is that it's so rare that it should probably be in a car museum.

The sum of the parts don't add up with the 916 because you could build an exact replication without too much trouble for less than $50K. Actually, I've always been curious why people haven't built steel topped replicas. Too much work for little pay off?

I still want to know what it will cost to cut the roof off and put a targa top on......

I would make it a convertable! and put a chalon kit on it!

In Germany there are two 914's with 928 engines in them, one of them has a fixed steel roof, if I remember correctly he used a section of a 924 roof to replicate curvature and things like that. I really like the looks of a fixed roof 914, so who knows maybe someday...

You made an offer high enough for him to accept and you are not even sure if it is real? Brave

and some.


A steel roof is a cinch to make for the right price and would stiffen up your car greatly.

easy answer: no

Craig,

if you *really* want to buy this car and you have the money - offer US$ 300k

if you just want to know the selling price - forget it

sorry ...

Bruce,
my guess would be somewhere north of $250,000. Because until you own the car, chopping the top is just a pipe dream

I find the price very interesting because the same car sold 11-05- 2000 on Ebay for $125K. I printed out all the info and stuck it in a file I found last week.

prices are inflated ... AA want's $350k for theirs, but they're actually not interested in selling. they ask $350k because if someone came along stupid enough to pay that much, they would take the money ...

same with this car, i don't think the current owner is seriosuly interested in selling the car, i think he's just feeling out if there's a sucker out there that he can milk for a hefty profit ...

$150k max. in my book, if that even ...
for half of that you can get a REAL FACTORY GT with actual racing history ...

You buy it, and I will do the Targa-Top conversion at no charge.

Posted by: Gustl Sep 1 2006, 03:00 PM

would you be so kind to scan it and post here - or send via PM ?

Gustl

Posted by: Gustl Sep 1 2006, 03:03 PM

which one

the last real factory GTs with racing history sold for more that 250k ...

The seller won't answer emails....fuck heem....I was in until 199K....USD.

Posted by: Speedster07 Sep 1 2006, 04:18 PM

Have any of you seen this car?

Posted by: tracks914 Sep 1 2006, 08:57 PM

I have an old pop up sunroof you could put in it for much cheaper than a full blown targa conversion.
