I keep thinking that this is the cheapest way to fund a 914-6 conversion. Am I crazy?

For example I've seen a 75K miles 911SC advertised (with a salvage title) for $10K. It looks good in the pics. So I'm thinking that you keep the engine for a 914 and part out the rest of the car.

First, what is the value of a low mileage 3L engine?

I figure you can get $1500 for a known good 915 transmission.

At that point do you sell the rolling chassis to someone that wants to make a track car or do you part it out piece by piece?

What's the going rate on a 911 rolling chassis in good condition?

I sold a very decent 911SC roller for 7k back when people had jobs. I bought the hole car running and driving for 3500$ and sold the engine for 3500$.

You wont get 1500$ for the tranny. Too many used 915's out there.

If it has a solid top (no sunroof) the racers might want it.. problem is: very few people are building 911's for racing right now.

Wheels+Tires= maybe 500$

Suspension: front (depends on what year it is) but the early SC's had 911 S front calipers... (400$ for complete setup) if it is the later 79 and up SC it will have typical struts that fetch (500$ for the complete front end)

10k is high for a salvage titled car.

It would be difficult right now to pull that off and make money.
