One of my friends is interested in the 914-6 on Ebay. I have read the comments on another thread about the 914-6.

Since he is a 911 guy he has ask my input.

What would it cost to restore the 914-6. I know there are a lot variables but ballpark figure?

$60K would be a beginning budget. Since we are throwing out wild numbers....that car appears to need a full and complete restoration. Price would only go up I am sure.

I guess the answer to buy a Six already done or restore one is answered by how soon do you need to drive it? Will you be satisfied with one you buy that is "restored"?

If I were to buy a restored one, it would have to be a car that was absolutely documented every step of the way. I have seen far to many "restored" cars where they fix things and just respray the body with out ever getting down to the metal to see the extent of the damage and correctly repair it. A lot of them say bare metal restoration and conveniently there are no pictures taken of the car in bare metal....."camera broke", etc.
