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? |

Um nickg, I'm sorry you have taken offence. I was just looking for others opinions. The chassis does need a lot of work. I was figuring at least $3k just to get it in some order. The longs are gone. The floor is gone. Some think it way even be two chassis welded together. IMHO it's far worse off than my car and my car is the worst I've seen except one. I've seen lots of 914s. I'm sorry to have "wasted your time" but I was seriously thinking of buying.
