'71 914/6 valuation Options

[Rav914]

I know, these threads are as common as the sunrise, however....tell me if my offer is fair.

A neighbor of mine has a '71 914/6. It has been sitting on jacks for at least 15 years. It's original, complete and stripped down ready for paint. No rust, motor disassembled, steelies, Ivory/black, plus it's a '71 - rare.

I've been politely asking him if he wants to sell for a few years but have not offered a price. He kindly defers, saying "Maybe next year". First person to state a number loses right? Well I want the car as a project and am willing to put a price out there regardless. I was thinking of $15K (If that doesn't work I'll offer up my silver/red '74 911S as a trade. I'm selling the car anyway.)

I know it needs just about everything, I'm thinking $25K more through the next few years. Does $15K sound about right?

Thanks,
Nate

Yeah I understand all the angles. Not looking to squeeze any money out of this one. I've had a number of other cars and a /6 is the only Porsche left I really want. I do almost all of my own work except for machining (sixnotfour) and calipers (PMB), so I could get it on the road for a reasonable cost.

I could probably buy an early 930 for the money, a brilliant 911SC, 3.2 Carrera or even a 964, but hey, life is short.....

Thanks,
