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?

Ya, there isn't a lot of room left on the bone for all the possible issues that can arise. But as the sixes have gone up the market has become more efficient. The value of the car is the market value of one restored minus the cost to get it restored. So assuming no major surprises, this price isn't too far off (maybe a little high. But, not too bad, IMHO), from the standpoint of restoring it and then selling it. Especially, if the values keep going up over the 3 years it will take to restore the car. But I wouldn't want to start one that bad at that price. Having said that I hope it gets restored. It is nice to see another one saved.
