I was just over in the classified section checking out Headrage's sweet sweet /6 .
That got me thinking that I really need a teener more than I need a 911. I'm wondering what the best way to come up with a value for the 911 is... basically almost all of the work on that car (for better or worse) was done by the PO, and I have just been driving and maintaining it. Does anyone have any useful ideas for determining what a fair market value for this car is? |

'70-'71 had the 901- 2 years only ... very desireable ... clutch & throwout bearing are $800+ dollars.
MFI pump, stacks, throttle bodies worth more than most 914s. Pump can be recalibrated (expensive) for "E" and "S" engines. Porsche ran this stuff on the race cars .. injection is timed off the cams for postive squirt. Junk the car and put the drivetrain / front suspension in a 914 where it really belongs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh, the '70 should have been a 2.2L AFAIR .... have an "E" in the shop (Glenn Sagers' car) |

The PO recalibrated the MFI pump for this engine because of the displacement (it's a cheater). QUOTE Junk the car and put the drivetrain / front suspension in a 914 where it really belongs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Well, the thought has crossed my mind. There's an Olympic Blue 1.7 on a used car lot a couple of miles from my house... hate the idea of taking this mostly sorted car apart, although it does have a few "WTF" items on it. QUOTE Oh, the '70 should have been a 2.2L AFAIR .... have an "E" in the shop (Glenn Sagers' car) You are correct sir! The '70 came with the 2.2... but the PO built up a 2.4 engine for this car. It's been a while since I talked to him but I think it has "S" cams. Definitely has Carrera tensioners. |

Nice effin' set-up ... jes jokin' about trashin' the car, though the engine package would make a nice movin' teener. It's the rest of the cost to put it in a teener that is intense. I'd love to have MFI, but I'm a CASOB and will stick with the CIS I have. |

The PO was really proud of the engine... he built it himself, including the design work to recalibrate the MFI pump for optimum performance. It makes 190 horsepower at the wheels (I think, it's either 180 or 190, haven't pulled out the dyno sheets in some time) and it pulls right up to the redline. I'd want a completed (or mostly completed) 914 conversion rather than another project. I spent 3 years building the Corvette and I bought the 911 because I was sick of having no cool car to drive. Now that I have both on the road, they are a lot of fun, but I've been thinking about a 914 for a long time. As a matter of fact, if this particular 911 hadn't been available, I probably would have bought a 914. You know what started me on this kick this time?
