I bought Bruce Jenner's 914 (the one he bought new back in the day). It's in okay shape, I guess. Definitely not great. It's fairly straight and doesn't have much rust. I have documentation and bought it knowing it was his car. I'm not into restoring cars, I just bought it because I've always wanted a 914, not to restore, but to do some light customization. Question is: Do I customize it? Or sell it and get another 914 for me? In other words is it worth selling? It doesn't run, it definitely needs a lot of work. It would cost about $1,000-2,000 to replace since I live in Idaho and would have to travel and probably tow another one back here to replace this one. I know this is vague, but I'm only looking for vague opinions. Does the fact that it's Bruce Jenner's 914 make it more valuable enough that I shouldn't mess with it and just sell it? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I appreciate the help! I know it's very a vague question. I guess I'll just fix up the body and interior, get it running, and then decide. Here's a picture. Thanks again!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Since it is a "celebrity" owned car, document everything before you make any changes or repairs. Especially the pin stripe, If you can make it look brand new, Bruce may want it back and he has the means to buy it. I wish I could find my first 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
