OK, lets assume you buy a nicely restored chassis for $5000. Then you take all of the parts off your "worst for wear" driver and put them on that new chassis. Magically you now have a factory 914-6 in pretty good condition. Is it worth it?
What if you paid $5000 for your "worst for wear" driver; now you have $10k in this pretty good factory 914-6. Is it worth it? What if you had put a whole bunch of money into your "worst for wear" driver and add it to the pretty good 914-6 total. Is it worth it? Seriously though, I'm contemplating this sinerio right now. Is a VIN number really worth it? |

From your questions, I take it you have a 914/6 in rusty condition, and your considering switching the whole car over to a restored 914/4 chassis. Fix the rust situation on your six. It's worth it. Your idea's end result would have no more value than a good conversion. They made too many fours and not enough sixes to say your VIN is not worth it. I wish porsche had used 9144 and 9146 instead of 473 and 914.
