6 Pricing again, My dilemma Options

[carr914]

OK, I just saw that concours winning 914-6 did not meet it's reserve at 25-26K which leads me to this is near the top of 6 pricing right now.

Here is my dilemma, a friend of mine bought an original 6 (he has like 8 other Mercedes, BMWs and a 911 in various running states) about a year ago and I have been storing it and have an option to buy, which I would like to do, BUT,. First I educated my friend to what he had (my bad), but unfortunately he listened more to the education than to what the car needed. He thinks the car is worth a fortune. He has seen the value of his early 911 climb. He has spent $0 on the car, though I have replaced about $1,000 worth of rubber trim out of my stash.

OK, if a top price would bring $26,000, what would you pay for a very nice looking original six that is definately in need of the following with my estimates for parts;

Both bumpers repaired (lots of dents) & rechromed $ 750
Rear Rubber bumper top 400
4 tires 400
wheel refinishing 500
Seats/rear pad/door panel redo 1,500
Oil Tank leak ?
Brake M/C + ? 500
Weber rebuild 800
original jack 200
exhaust ?
original igntion ( has MSD) ?
Freshen motor (parts & labor) 5,000
sun visors ?
shift knob 150
steering wheel refinsh 300
body work (has dings down the passenger side,
mostly the door) 1,000
asst trim 1,000
and

I just found a hole the size of my pinkie in the Hell Hole 1,000

I think it is the greatest looking project car around, but that is the point, it is a project. I've owned 7 teeners (2 sixes) and have a Carrera project, so I think I'm a pretty good judge on that call

Well what would be a fair price? (I have one in my mind, I just want to see if I'm close)

Thanks, T.C.

I bought a house today! Went faster than I thought so here I am , a 914 posting junkie amongst many (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Anyway, aside from rust in my front trunk, (not too bad), 4 door dents, (now gone for $100.00), this is what I got:

1970 914-6, 2.7 litre (10.5/1 CR), Carrera tensioners, Electromotive crankfire ignition, dual 40mm triple Webbers w/ K&N's, sideshift update, 906 gears, Quaffe LSD, GT engine grille, interior passenger seat update, JWest fuse box,911 gauges, old style centre console, genuine M471 flares, 911S front brakes, K&H rear adjustable proportioning valve, SS brake lines, Konis front & rear, 23mm hollow Weltmeister swaybar front & 16mm rear, 200lbs springs rear, Fuchs 7x15 & 8x15, 916 bumpers & GT rockers, Pilot 55w driving lights, painted Black.

No, the flares did not come w/ the car originally but they are the real McCoy. Hell hole is fine & so are the longs. The paint is horrible, the floor has been replaced & is solid & the interior is nice, but butt ugly (black vinyl/grey velour). Everything but the clock works & works well. Shifts almost as smooth as my 4, (that's an original 901 w/ only 47.5k mi & new bushings all around), has unbelievable power, handles like it's on rails & stops rather well I must say.

It is a real six, #1921. I bought the car in January & it was listed here for $22.5k. I did not pay $22.5k, I paid less. My question is what should I have paid for this non original, totaly messed with high quality monster?

Edit- this was not a rhetorical question & I'm not trying to brag about anything except rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , I'd honestly like to know what everyone thinks.
