Hello Everyone,
I just joined the group, I'm in the process of (hopefully) acquiring an original 914/6 from it's second owner, who I have known for ~15 years. He has owned the car for forty years! It was converted into a track car sometime in the '80s. My intention is to bring it back to somewhat streetable. It has steel flares, roll cage (roof panel does fit), fire bottle, cool shirt, etc. I'm not going for a concours restoration, I'm thinking of a semi-uncomfortable street car that can be taken out for track days. As time allows, I will go through the various build threads to see what others have done, what works and what doesn't. I work at a vintage race shop in Pittsburgh. My current stable includes an Alfa Romeo, Audi S6, and a Volvo 780 with 5.0 V8 conversion. I'm sure I'll have questions as the project progresses. First I will continue my research and work on finding an agreeable price for the car with/without spares & trailer package. Andy |

Thanks, that's the range I'm thinking. I'm just trying to do my homework and make a reasonable offer considering it's condition, needs and provenance. He also has an aluminum open trailer, another exhaust system (no idea), extra set of black center 15" Fuchs wheels (silver center Fuchs on car now with ES100s), maybe some of the missing interior. Not sure what else. I asked him to think about a package price with or without the trailer.
