Sold!

Hmm, that thing will require about $30-40K just to get to "nice driver" level. Seems to indicate six prices are still "up there".

I remember seeing this one for sale last year sometime. I remember the missing battery tray and what looks like a previous fire in that area.

I wouldn't expect 914/6 prices to go down at this point.

Hello, New to this forum…excited to find this group.
Here is another one...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Porsche-914-/322632458800?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=thSwxm0k2ylHmkhhZYsoR5xktOI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Is it me or am I missing something here?

I know and understand the latest Hagerty and Excellence values...but this seems like a lot to pay for this car...
IMHO, it seems like this car will need major metal work to repair the rust issues you can SEE in the pictures, and what these cars are known for… then a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration.
Any thoughts?

FYI, I WAS on the fence on a pseudo Barn-find I discovered a few weeks ago.
The ebay car quickly yanked me of the fence!!!
Thanks

Well looking at the yellow car and the Adriatic blue that got bid up to $80+K, I would say that sixes are holding their own in what I see as a Porsche market lull. It appears to me that the desirable early 911's are off their peek from a year or so ago.

Nice sixes seem to have been plateaued at the 80 - 90 range for the last few years. That is enough to keep the project cars in the game at half that.

Pretty good place to be in my mind considering the softening of the 911 prices

Welcome aboard

After tracking the prices of 914-6 for the last decade. Average project car price in the last 3 years is $35k. Average restored car is $85k, but that is including some pretty high special cars. Orange, Tangerine, Yellow, Adriatic Blue, Willow Green and the Mettalic color cars are mostly $10k higher than Light Ivory, and Irish Green which are the most common and the least 70s:)

However, I think this car should have had -$10k for all the rust repair work it will need. With a full engine rebuild, rust repair and paint job. The new owner will end up spending $80-100k and have to wait a year or more to drive it. As usual, better to buy one that's done, unless you get it really cheap or are doing all the work yourself.

The first graph is only for actual sales, not asking prices.
Blue bars in the graph below are average
Green is max price.
Numbers Matching and Not are obvious
ORIGINAL = unrestored driver, minimal rust, running driving
RESTORED = fresh paint, rebuilt engine, etc
HOTROD = larger displacement engine and other modifications, mostly not matching
PROJECT = needs paint, maybe rust repair, engine rebuild, 50/50 matching and not



This second graph includes asking prices and high bids that did not meet the reserve. Legend at the bottom.


cheers,
dug
