To each his own, but a dealer/team-built 914-6 GT with a big win (or big wins) is arguably more valuable than a factory built GT that didn't win anything.
The ultimate, also IMO, is a works team car with great history. Not many of those. For me, this would be a repaint to orange (outside only, and not to an overdone level) with a 2.5 MFI plus a set-up 901. Love the wheels, stance, trunks, etc. as is. Might add Marathon-style meatballs with no numbers, but wouldn't add much else. Car deserves to keep vintage racing, and be enjoyed on the street a bit. I hope whoever gets it respects its history, "modest" as it may be, and doesn't erase it. |
