Hello, I am looking to buy a 914-6 for about £30K / $40k, must have matching numbers. I live in England but I am considering importing. I would like to know what condition I should expect for this amount and if anyone has experience of importing to the UK and shipping cars across America.
If I cannot travel to the view the car what is the best method of checking its authenticity and that the condition is how it has been described other than the sellers photos, I do not want a re-bodied car. Any advice will be much appreciated. Regards, Matt |

Hello Matt - Yeah I think that is going to be a hard one to find for $40K that is not a complete rust bucket.
if you do find a candidate for purchase here in the USA, we have good knowledgable members all over the country. I am sure any one of them would be happy to go inspect the car in person and take photos or video of the car and the well known trouble spots. Additionally, a lot of us know the 6-specific parts and where to look to see if the car has been VIN swapped or re-bodied. These cars are getting very difficult to find but patience is a virtue and I am sure one will come up. Check all of the classic Porsche club sites and post in their classifieds that you are seeking a real 914-6, not a conversion. Best of luck- Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
