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? |

Good luck and best wishes to you Nick. I sincearly hope you sell it for what you're asking on ebay.
I didn't mean to show any disrespect nor question your integrity. I descided not to buy purely because I can not afford to do the work right now. Maybe it is a good buy for the price; it's just not a good buy for me at this point. Shoot, just a few months ago I was seriously thinking of selling my car and would have if someone came by with some cash. Someday I hope to find a factory six chassis that I can put my parts onto. Until then I'll just "Mickey Mouse" mine to get by. If it doesn't sell on ebay, maybe we can still work out a deal. I'm not opposed to the price, I just can't do it all right now. If you want to hear more, email me. I'll keep further comments on this subject off the board. It's too bad people can't have a discussion without getting upset. Even people not directly involved seem to be fueling the fire. FWIW, I wasn't complaining, just trying to figure out what to do. The way I figure it, with my parts and a fixed chassis it would be a nice car again. Peace to you all, |
