Hi Guys - I'm at a major crossroads with my project and need to brainstorm with others in the 914 community.
As a baseline, this very nice conversion sold recently for $72.5k. Here's a link: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=343405 If *everything* else was the same, except the chassis was an original 1970 914/6 chassis (not originally a 914/4), and also that the original drivetrain is long gone, how would the market value differ? Please consider in both cases what fair market value is, and ignore the possibility this recent sale was a smokin' deal. Looking forward to your opinions ... Thanks, Bob |

That car if a real /6 chassis would still be at PMS if they had asked $110K for it.
Now if it was a proper GT conversion maybe. My opinion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

My opinion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think PMS would be asking $220K for it or at least quote that to make another. I'm building all my cars for me so I don't even think about final valuations. I don't care about numbers matching or date codes either. Ironically, I restored a motorcycle and made sure it was all authentic and matching. It was an early build, almost a prototype for the model so I wanted to keep it stock. Also, I know so little about motorcycles that I didn't feel I had the knowledge to modify one correctly. |
