Hey all, it has been a LONG time since I visited the ole 914 World. I have been busy being a dad and figuring out life!
I can't actually believe that I am considering selling my teener, but with that said... It is kinda tough hauling a family of four in my 914. I am curious as to all your opinions of how much my car is worth. For those of you that don't know my car, it was featured in the June 2007 Excellence magazine (7 pages, 9 pictures) and won the "Best of Show" in the 2006 Ventura County Porsche Mid Engine Mania car show. I will post some pictures soon. Year - 1973 Mods - $60k invested 2.0 WRX turbo suby New interior One off custom Kenesis wheels 911 front suspension and brakes Upgraded rear brakes Upgraded Axles Customized transaxle Steel flares (performed by Dana from project Anklebiter) OEM Porsche Granite Green paint (looks more grey than green) The car still looks like it used to (bad ass). Thanks Keith |

The closest thing to your car is an Olympic Blue very custom build by Renegade that went for $25,000 or so I believe. I saw the car on line and it was 1st rate. You have the flares he did not. He had around $60,000 in it as well. A little different but close for knowing what the market is for very nice WRX Turbo 914. It sat on this world site for a long time till it found a new home. I almost got it but bought an 86.5 928 and not the WRX.

Yes, a fantastic car without a doubt. As a Subaru fan (Forester and Outback owner) I would love it. No idea what it's worth, but it looks like others found something comparable at $25K. You should keep it, but good luck with whatever you choose to do!

If your car shows well in the pictures you could try BAT. Not sure if I understand the reserve price auction. For a guy that wants that car and does not have the time or ability to do this work, throwing money at it is one way to own one. Your car really does look good. Great color and wheels and all the detail on it. You might try here but most guys are looking for a huge deal. I see it as a huge value as costs for sorting out this kind of a build cost a great deal of money if going through a shop and not turning the wrenches by yourself.
You never know. If you are not in a rush the better it is for you. Buying/ Driving season is on us. Not so much with west coast states cars but for sure the east coast area boys. I remember seeing your car before on line as you have been here from the start. Best of Luck, Bob Burton |

This is somewhat related to my '914/6 conversion value for insurance' thread, you won't get back what you have into it. With a /6 you have the value of the porsche engine alone upping the sale value to $40K-ish, even though same deal the owner may have twice that into it. Let me know when when you decide on the price, I had a customer asking about 914's, subi conversion in particular, just yesterday. We talked about this fact. |

Thanks Keith You car has a certain brute performance oriented thing going on which doesnt yield the highest resale so High 20's For example It doesnt appeal to a female crowd that just want a cute little porsche (they spend $ too) Hauling a family of four in a 914 ? This sounds like a problem for the Ferrari mondial ( i only learned this car exists recently ) And wow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

Hey all, it has been a LONG time since I visited the ole 914 World. Yes Keith. It has been much to long since you have been around here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) I have had the pleasure of riding in and touring with this car. It was built to the highest standards with great attention to detail. It is the nicest Subie conversion that I have seen. Anyone thinking about a potential purchase should give it serious consideration. It would be a great addition to any garage. |
