Really nice six for sale over on BAT, Market value Options

[gereed75]

Although I agree that the six market is currently flat ( as is the high end 911 market), it does appear to be at least very healthy.

I have not looked critically at the pictures of this car, but it looks really nice and has exceptional documentation

Let’s see where it goes

Hello All, that is indeed my -6 on BAT. I have learned a ton on this very site, bought parts from you very folks, and leaned on expertise from any source it appeared.

The great thing about that car is that it wasn't some orphaned, abandoned, discarded car in a field... ever. It was coddled and documented from Day 1 as if it would reach this day, appreciated as it is. All owners understood this lineage, and thankfully preserved and revered it. I can't say I have ever seen or known of a car like this in my multi car past.

The incidentals of the vinyl or screw heads can be dealt with accordingly, but now we're down to the final .0005% or whatever it may be, and that could be rewarding for someone to do later.

I also took concessions with stainless steel fuel lines (a rather unpleasant job with pleasant results) and the acid free battery, along with various sensitively-chosen other bits. It was all an effort, heading toward a reward and a goal. I've got the scars and chiropractor bills to prove, plus a rather impressive number of orders from our friend Dr. George 914.

I must say - though my wife looks at me with 'that' look when I say this - it was fun.

No, it wasn't fun the day my mechanic peeled out pissed off over some detail we had to redo. It wasn't fun when a guy on 'another P car site' decided my money was more important than the part he never had. It wasn't fun when a jack stand started mysteriously creeping toward the edge of never and the car had to be gingerly coaxed back to Mother Earth. It was way less than fun when the re-installed motor had a leak in an unreachable location and had to come back out.

Yet we do this because we're crazy. And if the above wasn't fun, tell me all the worthwhile pursuits and outcomes you've had that were easy? I come up with 'zero'.

This site helped alleviate much of the pain, the strain, that led to the gain of this fine piece. Thanks again.

You are hereby encouraged to bid like a crack-snorting wild man with an unlimited budget on a quest to own a great 914-6!
