I’m totally new to the scene so please excuse my ignorance lol…..I’ve been looking around and found that out of all the Porsche that I’ve seen the 914 is what catches my eye the most…..now my uncle and father completely turn up their nose to it because the car is not held with the same regard as the other options such as the 911.…..at the end of the day it would be my money being spent and as long as I’m happy then it’s worth it…….now I’ve been told that a fair price to find a “drivable 914” is around 3K but again I have no idea……could you be kind enough to give me a second opinion on if that’s right…..and then from their what I would be looking at to have the car restored

lol so more like 10 you say........but what if i wanted to have it taken apart and put back together with fresh nuts and bolts.....i guess what i'm trying to ask is this the kind of car that would take the kind of money that i should be using as a down payment on a house to do......or is it something that can be done without cutting off my head......bottom line.....would 20K take me where i need to be???

If you did the work yourself 20 k would make a very very nice car. (this means farming out work like paint and body after you strip the car, building the engine yourself but having the machine work done, etc.
If you dropped it off at a restorer figure 40 grand. Luckily, there are still cars out there for reasonable prices that need very little (unlike 356 or 69-73 911 912 models) However the rage and the sheer joy is to buy a lesser 914 and restore it to its former glory with maybe some tasteful mods along the way (like the gt clone route!)
