There is a beautiful 914 wide body on BAT.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-pors...aign=2020-10-03 The exterior, interior, engine bay and trunks are beautiful, But....... in my opinion the car is let down by the seats. I don't understand why people build these super 914s, with the potential for speed and handling, and then leave the standard seats. The seats in the car are beautifully done, but in my opinion lack lateral support. Just saying. But this 914 should sell well none the less. Bill. |

I predict a no sale (bidding won't hit reserve) considering it's former public asking price.
Interesting build but there are little things that bug me like stock seats, euro front signals not separated in the housing and the 901 seem like a compromise... I really do like how they continued the body color through the interior but with nearly zero carpeting/deadening its going to be race car loud all the time. All in all really cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

All in all really cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I agree. It's hard to sell a custom shop build for what you pay. Especially a 914-6 You can't build one as cheaply as buying one already done and usually at a discount. I know of a TR6 that ended up $90K+ all in. It was one of the finest builds I've seen and used a more rare '69 model that was pristine to begin with. The owner checked of darn near everything in Richard Good's parts catalog was and more was spent elsewhere. Toyota 5 speed conversion, Nissan R200 differential. The owner decided to sell it after less than a year of ownership. He was lucky that the shop that built it has a stellar reputation and good following of British Car fans. Still lost about $30,000. On the best day an original-original TR6 might crack $40. Might. This was not a car to spend a bunch of money on and blow past market value. The best analogy for cars like this is that the buyers funnel is turned upside down (narrow). You want the wide end! Great example currently on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-triu...aign=2020-10-04 |
