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?

It sure sound like someone is buying that car to do a flip. If that is the case, a really good restoration will put the car out of the market for a while! Then again, I would be very careful buying something like this. The buyer will have to be asking near 100K to make any money. Did they take any shortcuts??? I think this is a major reason so many like to do the restoration themselves or at least be the " project manager" for the restoration. It is more expensive, but you know exactly what you have.
