I'm with the naysayers and nitpickers. It's obviously a nice car, with a great deal of effort put into the restoration. I have no doubt it will and should fetch big money. BUT, if I were in the market for a car like that I would be happy to have the knowledge found here as a resource to sort the wheat from the chaff. Ebay is full of people saying they are selling the "nicest 914/930/Corvette/whatever in the world".

Ebay is full of people saying they are selling the "nicest 914/930/Corvette/whatever in the world". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Saying it is the nicest 914/6 in the world is ok. Saying it is the best restored 914/6 in the world implies this car would score very close to 100 pts. in a concours and that is clearly not the case. Anybody without substantial expertise would be crazy to spend that much money, regardless whether the current owner is losing money at that price, without doing some research on the car. They would be very lucky to find this thread while doing that research. Once they have read this they can make an educated decision if they want a stunning 914/6 with a leather interior, or if they want to hold out for something closer to a 100 point car. To me the best restored 914/6 in the world would have started with an undamaged numbers matching car, which this car was not, and would have finished with all of the right bits, pieces and finishes, which this car did not. Personally, I don't care if he spent $100k on the car it isn't worth $50k to me... |
