Based on the pics, I would guess the body needs a LOT of work.
If title in hand with engine and tranny - I would go maybe up to $3000. My guess, it will take at least $25k to get her back on the road, hence, why not buy a running car..... d |

I have known the guy for over 25 years, he told me he had a "Six" years ago (25) and this is the 1st time that I have seen it. He really is thinking about selling it, so any ideas on a reasonable offer?/ |

Don't know if he would let it go for $3K, he does know the cars & has a shop that works on them, but man, does it need A LOT OF WORK!!!

$3k and he throws in the speedster 914. That's not worth the effort. If you want a 914-6 project buy the shell that Sir Andy owns.

You might charge him tree trimming fees and haul it off. I'd Pay nothing for that shell. Maybe the motor and trans are worth something but still probably not much seeing how he treated the body.

Pull the damn thing out of the trees and check for rust, then start at 1 or 2k, because it is maybe 1/30th of the way back to real life.
30K and 2 years of hard work is not unheard of for basically getting the VIN and some noncancerous sheet metal on the car to be a real 6 again. We all know a lot may have to be replaced, and it takes a long time to get deals that don't mean that you sold a kidney, lung and a yard of skin to do it. But, again, GET THAT CAR, because the VIN is only 1 of 3371 made, not counting the M and other small run variants. Minus the vegetation! Please keep us all posted on it's condition and fate. I have people interested in real 6's, but not ones that that are "Rust Free"* (*) Steve Gaglione's definition that the rust is at no charge! John |

Jeeze, that makes me real sick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) LMK if I can help save that thing. 3K and your buying the engine,trans if it's correct and the title. Column, correct dash. In the salt air of FL in the jungle that car is turning back into iron ore. But it can be repaired.

What's with the cab top? I've seen some original sixes modified but cutting the targa bar off and fitting a cab top is a bit over the top. I agree with TC on this one...

Turn it into a group own, group project.
I would kick in a couple of K and parts. We could make some money or 1 would buy others out. We should be doing this anyhow as small teams. Someone should know a lawyer and make it an LLC or something that works in the State best legally suited. Not partnership legally speaking. Something more proper. Legal Partnerships always fail miserably. LLC is probably best. Comments? J |
