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? |

i guess you did not see the nos fender in the pictures that he sent did you? i guess you did not see the sand and residue from the blasting...i guess you can't add up the front was blasted and the rear was primed. i work in the automotive buisness, i have never seen you shop in ct. (and i have been to every shop in ct, its my job) in the last 4 years i heve seen 3 914's in ct......i know there are lots but i think your idea of a "marginally maintained north east car" are weak....they had rust worse than this with 5 years of new. as i have sais i have parted over 100 of them i think i know what i am talking abouyt. i may not be an acknowledged internet expert such as yourself, but i do know a solid car when i see it. I figured that it would best be a racecar chassis....we'll see on ebay later today
