I have a line on an original 914-6. It is running a '79 3.0 engine, has racing seats, roll cage (removable, I think). The front suspension is modified, with 944 Turbo front brakes and with the original 914 front brakes moved aft. The paint is not the original color. The seller wants to price it like an original /6, which I guess it is.
How can I estimate the value of this thing with respect to a well done 914/4-6 conversion? This car is so far from original that I can't see putting it back. It is like trying to sell George Washington's axe, even though the head has been replaced once or twice, and the handle broken some time ago so that was replaced too, but its still George Washington axe... |
