Just wondering what value we should be putting on /6 conversions these days? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
My teen, if it was still a /4, I wouldn't even consider an offer under $25K Canadian, so about $18-19K USD. Not that I want to sell. /6 core prices are way way up, and so are running engines, What about a fresh performance build?. I used to tell customers a conversion would run $30K (CAD) with engine. but I seriously doubt I could do that now. My teen is a '74 (1.8 base) paint is (guessing) a 30 yr/old respray colour change, a 7/10 from chips and scratches only, but perfect OG body, perfect interior, Evil tranny, 5-bolt, fuchs , bilsteins, front suspension, etc Engine 3.0, 2K miles, twinplug/MSD, webers, custom mahle pistons, web cams, fresh build, alumimum tank, etc No clue what the replacement value for insurance would be..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What do you think your /6 conversion is worth? |

I believe a 917 was $35k from the factory in ‘69. Are you going to insure it for 35k or 4 mill. Reasonable and realistic, the price I'd need to buy a similar replacement. I don't want it over or under insured. I think $50K is the floor. The ceiling is where the discussion will vary as to which 6 conversion... With Canadian funny money that would be add 30%, so $65K CAD. wobbletop's 914 conversion is a stock 3.0 engine, I think webers is the only mod and my car is in better overall shape than his. I put mine at $65K canadian. Better safe than sorry. Who with? Hagerty? Cripes by that metric I'm way under insured. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Correct. The last time I asked here, the consensus was around $50K US. The six conversion that opened my eyes to potential values was the flared white car that sold on BaT for $57k~. Yes, it was presented well and built out to broad tastes (well, as broad as it gets with 914s), but the engine pretty mild iirc. Currently have mine at 50k, and will be raising it to 75k when I get it back from PMS. Hmm. Was thinking $35-50k is sort of the catchall for a nice six conversion, but what is the right number? What would it cost to replace? is probably the right question—and not would it cost to replace if you want to spend years and years on a project again. |
