'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

There is a similar car on E Bay right now. numbers matching 6 project. Bidding is already over $16k, with 7 days to go. Its hard to believe, but I think even a basket case original 6 is now worth $20k.

I disagree - the eBay car is a running, driving car that might be a Detail job away from being a good driver

If you get it for $15k, how much do you have to spend before it is drivable? $5-10k maybe?
Then having a driver grade -6 for under $25k would be a decent deal right now. If values keep climbing, and you restore as you go, you could be driving and enjoying a $50k car before long.

Again I disagree - there is No Way that you can paint & build an engine for a -6 for under $10k, even if you wanted a RatRod. And then you haven't talked Brakes, Tires, Fuel Lines, Gauges, Interior, etc.

A project car is just that and should be priced accordingly
