WTB 914 GT style Widebody, 914 GT style widebody wanted Options

[SavageGT]

Looking for a Porsche 914 GT style built car with widebody flares (steel preferred). A nice sorted car that I can have fun with. Engine -6 preferred. Thanks

What is the current value of a nice 914 with a 2.7 steel GT flairs

All depends on the build details. A clean steel-flared 914 like in your pics should be at min a $40k car even in a softer market. Considerations:

-what is the detail of the 2.7 engine, was it rebuilt, carb'd, twin plugged?
-transmission details, and any LSD?
-suspension, hub/axle, and brake updates?
-oil cooler details?

Those details can easily add $10-15k.


I know the bigger sixes get all the love but a properly built 2.7 (especially a twin plug or even an MFI setup) with the right transmission setup IMHO fits the character of a conversion/GT style build without adding the complexity and expense of a big six build.

I know build costs aren't a good proxy for resale, but each of my 914s were at least $55-60K and higher to build to a high level. Those I've seen under $50k nearly always have some issue (transmission, interior, engine) that typically explains their discounted price.

Thanks for your input on value.
My car is a bare metal rotisserie build,2.7 7R case J&E pistons, Mahle 90mm cylinders full rebuild with all top parts installed.Weber carbs not twin plugged yet! Rebuilt trans 901 side shift LSD Regeared, GA 2nd/M 3rd/S 4th/X 5th. Early 930 alloy calipers 911 front suspension turbo tie rods. This is just a short list, I have $95k of receipt from the guy I bought it from, I have $45k in it, purchase price and what I've done sofar as I continue to add stuff. I might sell it and have talked to @SavageGT a few times and want to know a fair ask. The prices sound right to me $40k for a car $55k for a good car. I feel like i have a gret car.

I think cars like yours should sell for $55k plus. The only challenges are the market remains a bit softer than when during COVID when great examples were fetching bigger money. But I’d stick to your guns if your car is all that - they certainly are more popular than ever and build prices are still increasing.

I know of a local 3.0 build that is excellent (though not a wide body) that is in the $50k range.
