My dream car: original black 914-6, GT flares, 3.2L motor, 915 transmission

Ok, for the 1/3rd the price it would cost to build that I got this:

This is a three owner mostly original, never been hit, 86K mile 1981 911SC. It passed the PPI with flying colors. 170-175psi in all cylinders, no tranny/synchro issues, runs drives perfect, new clutch 20K miles ago. It's a shame that we can't buy 914-6es with 3.0L engines for so cheap.

It's a lot of car for the money! It's so fun to floor it and hear the engine roar. 3000rpms to redline is a blur. What fun!

Ha! I'm keeping the 914.

Think of it this way. A nice 911 costs less than a Toyota Echo but it doesn't lose half of it's value in 4 years. Which would you rather drive?

That's a beauty Anthony. Congratulations. I would love to pick up one of those as well. I tried to talk the wife into it, but she said only one P-car for me, and I'm not yet ready to give up the 914.

Just drove this lovely 1988 Carrera up from Palm Desert. Purchased from the original owner in Los Angeles. Passed PPI, 150k miles. New clutch, new Dunlops. Triple black, sport suspension and seats. Never hit or painted. Fun, fun car. You cannot get this much pleasure from the new econo boxes that cost twice as much or more.

There's a big difference between an '83 911SC and an '88 Carrera. An '88 has a 3.2L engine and the G50 transmission and improved clutch whereas the SC has a 3.0L engine and a 915 tranny.

From Bruce Andersen's price guide:

In Good condition:
1983SC $14921
1988 Carrera $18570

In Excellent condition:
1983SC $19975
1988 Carrera $24150

Now many think the BA prices for 911s are on the low side. In BA parlance an "excellent" car is mostly a flawless car, one notch down from concours. It has low mileage, original paint, etc. Those are very hard cars to find and usually command higher prices IMO. His "good" conditon is what most of us would think of as an excellent driver - an extremely presentable car with no major issues. I'd say my car is at that level and I paid a decent percentage less than his good valuation. It was a screaming deal. You can find them if you look. But even fully valued, IMO, these cars offer a lot of bang for the buck.

Just like with 914s we all have bought 914s from people that don't know the 914 market, don't know where to advertise their car for maximum exposure, and end up selling their car for less than market. Or maybe that is what skews BA's numbers to the low side.
