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? |

any decent six conversion (genuine five lug conversion, factory 911 engine, correct oil tank and heat exchangers). Nice paint and interior, is worth 50,000 to insure. These days just a great running original 911 engine is worth at least 15,000

any decent six conversion ... Nice paint and interior, is worth 50,000 to insure. These days just a great running original 911 engine is worth at least 15,000 this is from Hagerty Articles 2016 "Mecum offered a 914 upgraded to 2.2-liter six-cylinder power with 40mm Weber carburetors, Recaro seats, fender flares, Momo steering wheel and five-lug Fuchs alloy wheels at Houston in April. The trouble was that it wasn’t what it wanted to be – a 914/6. The bidders quit at $39,000, a telling contrast not only between real and make-believe 914/6s, but also the perils of spending vast amounts of money to make a 914 into a 914/6." i guess that so long as we are willing to pay whatever the fee is, they'll insure for whatever we want to say, market value being irrelevant? - kind'a like on Antiques Roadshow where they say "recommend to insure for $$xxxxx" vs giving the person a "well advertised auction estimate value" or "value in a high end retail store" similarly, like jewelry which is also highly valued for insurance purposes - you can go get a diamond ring at Costco for about half of what the included paper suggesting the "insurance value" says relevant thread here - http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914...ion-values.html which most of you are likely tracking? |
