To Restore or Purchase Already Restored, 914-6 Options

[JawjaPorsche]

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?

Amazing, it went for $33K. . wonder when we'll see this car again and what the price will be. .
Starting a restoration project at that price is questionable knowing the cost of parts and labor. . you'd have to do all the work yourself to come close to a break even spot in today's resale world, but then again, look where early 911's are priced now days ..

Wow!! To pay a shop to do that car right you'd likely have over $100K just in the resto. . . Just paying for parts and doing it yourself, you *may* be able to just break even on a selling price, but it would take years and years of weekends/evenings.

From a financial point, I always recommend buying a restored car. But for many on here, (myself included) who can do much of the work, the restoration/build process is a big part of the journey of owning such a car. It's what many of us derive much of the satisfaction that we later have when driving and showing others the car.
