Looking for a Porsche 914 GT style built car with widebody flares (steel preferred). A nice sorted car that I can have fun with. Engine -6 preferred. Thanks

I have a fiber-glass flared 4 cylinder I’d sell. It’s significantly modified.

I’m just outside Issaquah about an hour away. I have a 1971 914 with a 3.2. It has composite flares currently but I have a set of NOS Porsche GT steel flares I’ve kept just in case. The motor and transmission have under 1500 miles, recently built by a highly regarded builder. New interior, new GT seats, tons of suspension, shifter, and other upgrades. Well over $60k invested in the past 5 years.
PM me. Who knows, I could be tempted. I have two other cars competing for my attention besides this. But it won’t be cheap…

There was a 914-6 (real) with a 3.0:( I believe) in northern New Jersey. Formerly club racer but nice. Currently listed in panorama for $65k. Contact info

He started at 75 so already adjusted some.

The 30 914-6 down the production line. Built by PMB Performance, spared no money in build as new, open checkbook build, better than new. 3.0 with FI and original serial number 2.0 case in box clean. Today I am going to say $175,000 OBO or trade for a late Porsche 718 Spyder with auto and cash - Look at my build blog

There was a thread on this car last year.
It's not the last 914-6 built!
It might be the last one built at that plant, but the poster (a high-end re-seller) was "semi" mis-representing the car.
The 914-6 gurus on this site had much to say!
I'd do a bunch of research before believing what they say.
He does have a bunch of what look like super nice cars.

What is the current value of a nice 914 with a 2.7 steel GT flairs
Posted by: JamesM Jan 12 2025, 06:19 PM
Probably out of most 914 buyers price range but this is far the highest quality 914 build I have ever seen in 30+ years of obsessing over 914s. Needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate it.
The price is a steal when compared to what it would cost to reproduce.

It's in Portland worth a look ,,lots of documentation...I owed it for a couple of years steel flairs ,,,rough shape but fun ,,had a sandcast engine , but I got the OG engine with it.. I sold to a friend who to sold it within a year to the current trail of owners...Its Nice 914-6gt Now
It had Florida plates on it when I bought it..
Posted by: SavageGT Jan 14 2025, 07:16 PM
Thanks for all the replies. I am not really looking for an original 914-6. Cost wise these are out of my price range. I prefer a nicely built conversion car with all the GT goodies and a performance -6 engine.

Nice talking to you on the phone about my '73 metal flairs 2.7 7R case nothing original build I has $45k invested so far. What is your budget? What is your time frame on buying one?
Thanks

Thanks for the info on your 914 Scott. I enjoyed talking with you and learning about it. I am looking to purchase this spring. You car has a lot of what I am looking for. I will be in touch!

What is the current value of a nice 914 with a 2.7 steel GT flairs
All depends on the build details. A clean steel-flared 914 like in your pics should be at min a $40k car even in a softer market. Considerations:
-what is the detail of the 2.7 engine, was it rebuilt, carb'd, twin plugged?
-transmission details, and any LSD?
-suspension, hub/axle, and brake updates?
-oil cooler details?
Those details can easily add $10-15k.
I know the bigger sixes get all the love but a properly built 2.7 (especially a twin plug or even an MFI setup) with the right transmission setup IMHO fits the character of a conversion/GT style build without adding the complexity and expense of a big six build.
I know build costs aren't a good proxy for resale, but each of my 914s were at least $55-60K and higher to build to a high level. Those I've seen under $50k nearly always have some issue (transmission, interior, engine) that typically explains their discounted price.

Thanks for your input on value.
My car is a bare metal rotisserie build,2.7 7R case J&E pistons, Mahle 90mm cylinders full rebuild with all top parts installed.Weber carbs not twin plugged yet! Rebuilt trans 901 side shift LSD Regeared, GA 2nd/M 3rd/S 4th/X 5th. Early 930 alloy calipers 911 front suspension turbo tie rods. This is just a short list, I have $95k of receipt from the guy I bought it from, I have $45k in it, purchase price and what I've done sofar as I continue to add stuff. I might sell it and have talked to @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=28345 a few times and want to know a fair ask. The prices sound right to me $40k for a car $55k for a good car. I feel like i have a gret car.

This car per the COA was originally Willow Green. Who in their right mind would do a color change especially given what a great period color it was originally!

I think cars like yours should sell for $55k plus. The only challenges are the market remains a bit softer than when during COVID when great examples were fetching bigger money. But I’d stick to your guns if your car is all that - they certainly are more popular than ever and build prices are still increasing.
I know of a local 3.0 build that is excellent (though not a wide body) that is in the $50k range.
Posted by: Cairo94507 Jan 29 2025, 12:35 PM
If you have documentation of all that, I would definitely think $55K plus. Parts are no cheap like they were 20 years ago so building one of these cars is no different than building a 911.

Yes,I have photos and all receipts of the build. I did accept an offer today from a very good friend of mine and your number is very close to what it brought.

SavageGT, the front flares look funny. These are real factory flares. At this point missing engine. Mark
