Hi Everyone,
After not touching it for four years, I am reluctantly giving up on my 914-6 project for a variety of reasons: the tub needs too much work, i was dealing with some health issues, I have been wanting to spend more time down in Mexico working on my house there, playing around with my boat etc. I just crossed 60 and it seems there is just not enough time for it all. In the next few months, I will be selling off the parts I have collected over the years. This will include a 1986 3.2 with a 915, restored chrome bumpers, decent seats and interior bits, fiberglass hoods, repro 914-6 rear calipers, restored alpha brembo fonts, 15 inch Fuchs, stainless headers, oil tank, restoration sheet metals bits, aluminum front cross members, a decent interior, 19mm master cyl. restored gas tank, etc. I also have a lot of 914-4 suspension bits and other parts lying around, front A-arms and a few doors, glass, window trim, gauges, taillights, and lenses—just a ton of little things leven a nice rotisserie with a jig thingy I made. I was collecting for so long I dont even remember what I have. I have a couple of questions before I start digging stuff out and listing all this stuff and begin selling it off. 1) is there any sort of swap meet in Southern California that I could just trailer a bunch of stuff to anymore? I remember the old Pomona swap meet back in the day. And didn't Bruce stone set up a few swapmeets in the past? 2) I know posting in the classifieds requires pricing and I have been out of the loop for a few years so I will need some assistance with valuation. Where in the forum should I be asking those types of questions? My main goal is to not make abandoning my project another big project. Thank you in advance for any ideas, assistance or other comments. -Andrew |

Wow, the TLDR post made me look closer...
The "list of included items" so far looks like a 6-figure car to me finished! I was expecting the videos to show destruction and they show what looks like a nearly finished major reconstruction. The post says the rear fenders and taillight sheet metal are off... Have replacements? Might be easiest to just make a 5-10 min fresh video of the car and its parts. I don't have the coin for this project but if I was serious about having a "correctly" updated 6 I'd be very interested in the car. I'm interested in what the Gurus on here think it's worth... Looks NICE! |
