hello- this is my first post! I am ready to purchase a 914-6 (matching #'s) I will gladly pay someone a finders fee! I recently went to a estate sale to buy one but was just sold! I did buy a 1972 911s at the same estate sale-but my heart is with the 914- I had a 914 when I was 17 years old and have great memories. I had to sell to pay for college tuition when my dad could no longer pay for school. I would be more then willing to pay a finders fee for your help! thanks sooo much!

There is one here in Grand Junction, Colorado for sale. It is currently in the care of Alan Johnson Racing Service. Alan is a well known and well thought of Porsche expert and racer so you can be sure that it is in top shape. I'm sure there are a few guys on the board that can confirm that.

I happened to ask about it when I was in the shop one day and he informed me that the owner was selling it. Other than that I know nothing about it. It is a beautiful Orange model...If only I could afford it lol
His number is 970-245-8685. He is often out racing during the summer so keep trying.

According to Hagerty Insurance's Value guide, that's about right these days. The rep at the Parade said the 914-6s were the fastest rising cars right now.

Hello. I may have what you are looking for.

My 1970 914-6 is white, has matching numbers (VIN 9140430377) and has been mine since I bought it in early 1972. I think I will need to part with it to fund my daughter's college next year.

The car is in excellent original condition. Photos if you are interested. I'm thinking $35K and the value is there!

Contact me for many more details.

Unrestored white 914 1.7L here in Central Cal. Some rust, looks straight. I bought my daily driver from this local dealer(a Buick wagon) and have had a good experience with him. I'm in grad school here, and can't afford owning Porsches yet but love them nonetheless. Pics available, I stopped by earlier today and took a few for you, but the forum won't let me post one right now. VIN 4732907247 built 11/72. I don't know what details to look for, where the bad rust hides, numbers to check etc... Let me know if I can help, or if you're interested.

914-6 GT with a 3.2 on Craigslist $64k

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/3967384977.html

Quote:
This is a genuine 1970 914-6 Porsche, built in the Porsche factory on May of 1970.

It has been professionally built up to GT Factory specifications with 1984 3.2 Carrera closed loop FI engine producing 245 hp. Mated to a freshly rebuilt (documented) Porsche five speed Limited Slip Trans-axle with Rennshift close ratio quick shifter and Patrick Motorsports aftermarket reinforcement items. Carrera suspension, Turbo front and GT rear brakes and Porsche developed steel side body plates to increase the structural integrity of the body to take the extreme hp and side loads. You can see some of these plates in one of the pictures on display. This includes 914-6 GT steel fender flares that can accommodate the larger 16 X 9 and 16 X 8 Fuchs wheels. Bilstein coil over shocks with 245 lb rear springs, 23mm front torsion bars, adjustable Weltmeister front sway bar, 914-6 GT/Ferrari rear mechanical and hydraulic calipers allows one to keep the ebrake, front Calipers are Porsche Turbo, 23mm Master brake cylinder with Metal braided lines all around to stop this 2100 lb 914-6 GT. A new up to date flat fuse box. Handmade Stainless Steel headers with Stainless Steel heater exchange. Competitive Willians 6 point 3 inch Racing Harness from the UK, Rennline, Momo, Alpine with Boston Speakers, it goes on and on..... And the original color of Tangerine or Blut Orange in German looks like new.

It just completed its yearly maintenance where we pull the engine / transmission from the body to address any and all maintenance. At that time we leak down test which showed it is still a LIKE NEW engine. We also added Turbo front and GT rear mechanical / hydraulic calipers and all new vented disc brakes. Porsche rear GT brakes are impossible to source. These GT brakes allow the use of the hand brake and have 33% bigger pucks. Original Porsche Factory GT calipers were sourced by the Porsche Factory from Ferrari.

Its not perfect but then what is? Mileage shown is 26k but true mileage may be different. This car comes with a clear California title and FOUR inches of receipts and documentation.

The few remaining 1970-71 914-6's are becoming the new Speedsters of our era. Which is why Hagerty Insurance gives the 1970-71 Porsche 914-6 the fastest increasing value of any used car on the market today.

This is my car and I am a private enthusiast. It is garaged and maintained in Bay Area of Northern California.

I have set a price of $64,000.00

There may be a serious rust issue! Look at door jams and you can see some serious pitting that is now covered up with paint. I noticed the car had a nasty re-paint(amateur) and painted over just about everything. I would be concerned the car is folding and would explain poor fitment of doors.

@ Lostreasure

what's about the black GT conversion on ebay ?? Not a real /6 but a well sorted 914 with a lot of fun with the 3.6 behind you

Many junk /6 are on the market now and most of them are overpriced (my point of view) a good conversion car could be the right choice and a lot of friendly 914world
members offers support, if you need some help for your purchase.
I think those friendly guys will do it for free, if they are near to the 914 you want.

Wondering how this is working out for 914-World members

What is your reward offer in $$'s?? or $% of purchase??
How will you determine who gets a reward with your 914-6 purchase??

Why don't you hire a knowledgeable 6er consultant off this board (with a contract) to find your 914-6??? I hate loosie-goosie words of reward. Please don't take offense!! You have lots of people offering personal info & you don't appear to be doing your own search with these posts.

Posted by: lostreasure Aug 24 2013, 02:18 PM

I prefer a nice number matching 914-6 that has not been rusted out like a couple that have been for sale lately- I will be patient and the right one will come up. I hope some one reading this right now may just reach out and contact me? thanks

I may be wrong; however, he might be a flipper who has bought several 6's and is sending them back to Germany for a nice little profit. I've seen similar tactics before. Act like you can't find the ""right" car while your agent buys the cars the members point out for you. Not a bad way to get some free labor.

Time will tell.....

Jim and I had a done deal but I could not follow through without an inspection- my wife just would not give me a green light unless some one did some kind of inspection. Jim if you could re-consider that would be awesome but i respect your decision.It is my fault since I told jim I did not need one. I hope 914 world community does not look down upon me for this. Jim's 914-6 maybe the best 914-6 out there! So I wished I had the chance. It is a very sad night for me -

Posted by: dave29 Sep 9 2013, 09:32 PM

Integrity is everything. We had a signed deal. I have countless emails all of which I can post in which you agree to buy the car, "a PPI is not necessary, I will wire the funds this afternoon", etc. etc.
As I said in my last email to you, "you do not deserve this car"

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Sep 10 2013, 02:22 AM

Probably the most beautiful six I have ever seen. A truly amazing example of a 914-6. Any one looking for a car like this would be a fool not to buy it. Was a real pleasure meeting you and your car at RRC.

Posted by: DEC Sep 10 2013, 03:41 AM

I can't understand why members here support these inquiries.

Is the not defined reward the reason?

Especially at high member numbers and low posts count members
I will be especially careful because I / we make us to a henchman
of a dealer or agent until the questioner has made it clear what his
motives are.

In Germany are a lot of good -6ers offered, why they searching at the
World?

Probable they thinking in the states they can buy an all original -6 with
no rust or other issues for a low number of $$$$

haha these times are gone for a long time.

All good as I think it was under priced in today's market for sixes. Jim, raise the price by $10k and look back on this day with a smile.
