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?

The only reason to buy a real six is for the investment. You can build a six for way less with a bigger engine and any other mods/improvements you want.

As far as restoring that one. Replacement panels can be had for most known rust prone areas. 911 engine rebuilds are not cheap. The rest is who you have to do welding, body and paint, plus dismantle and reassembly. Also rubber at dealer prices and leather for the interior.
