1970 914-6....opinions, 914-6 opinions Options

[Jamtime]

Good afternoon all.

Newbie here who has been lurking for a few days getting to know your site (very nice...many knowledgeable people here) and I would like to ask for your input.

I have a client who has a 1970 914-6. Never hit, never "restored", one repaint some 20 years ago. Some details:

- 67,000 documented miles
- all paperwork since new (COA, window sticker, receipts)
- original black on black car
- climate controlled storage since new
- completely sorted...runs, drives, stops as it is expected to be
- glass has no chips/cracks, interior has no rips/tears/cracks/separations, paint is very good condition
- I would rate this car as a solid 2+ condition...it's been loved

The only modification to this car (other than maintenance items) is circa 1980 the original (still operational) numbers matching engine was pulled and prepped for long term storage and put on a stand. A later 3.0L of undetermined origin replaced it and powers it to this day.

My question for all you fine folks, is what should we be looking at for an insured value?

I understand that 914-6s (and Porsches in general) are hotter than hot right now, and I cannot find a car in similar condition as a comparable.

Any questions, thoughts and/or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Call hagerty insurance leave a message for the owner McKeel Hagerty tell them what car you have and he will call you back. You have a six figure car if paint color is correct. I have a '70 914-6 in tangerine with 96,000 miles and have it insured for $75k which I will increase next year. My car is numbers matching and original color also have a 2.7 installed with original 2.0 in storage. I am posting from my phone so I will ad some pictures when I get to my computer.

Thank you!

I have my cars with Hagerty, so I'm very familiar with them. The dilemma is that cross-referencing classic insurance companies, there is a large disparity with values.

Same for appraisers (as we all know).

Getting more information now, but the original owner is claimed to be a Karmann exec, who did special order it black.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I got called out about it at a show and had to produce the paperwork to prove it".

So it definitely needs to go through a deep dive.

Thanks again, everyone, for all your input!
