I am no Porsche expert although I have owned a few over the years. Ran across a 914 in a warehouse that is supposedly a 914/6. It has a 914/6 VIN stamped into the front right apron that looks factory (914043xXXX) The engine numbers match, trans numbers match and it has all of the 914/6 details that I could find like five bolt Fuchs, correct gauges, ignition, wiring harness, engine mounts, oil cooler, rear valance, etc. But the owner says he does not think it is a real 914/6 car. It has been in the warehouse for over 30 years and needs restoration but it is a very solid and straight car.
Engine is out as is the trans. The rear fuchs are a little wider than the fronts. The owner is asking me to make him an offer. So what I need to know is a. What is this car worth if it has ALL of the 914/6 stuff and it is NOT a real car?, and b. What would it be worth in this condition if it WAS a real car? Attached image(s) |

To many variables really. Pull it out and take some pictures and look at the entire car as well as the underneath. How did you verify the VIN, engine and transaxle are all original to the same car? Oh, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
Lots of knowledgable people here, but you need to provide more info for them to go from to form a basis for a value. |

The engine/trans numbers are within the range of what was supposed to be on that production run. I have not purchased a COA. I am interested in the car to drive and enjoy. The car is being sold by a family member since the brother moved out of the country 25 years ago and has no plans of returning. It is ONLY being sold on a "make an offer" basis and I am currently the only one they are asking. They will then relay the offer for a yes or no. Yes, I have seen the car in person so it is not an internet scam. I can't talk to the actual owner because he is in Spain and just does not want to be bothered at all and has given the brother the right to sell the car with a free and clear title and a power of attorney. I will be going back next week with more details to check thanks to the suggestions here as well as research I've done. That's why I am trying to figure out what this is worth based on the "Real" or "not real" scenarios. I know i can finish it, drive it, enjoy it and register it as-is with no problems. I just want to know value wise for real or not real so when I figure out what it really is, my offer is within range for what it really is. |
