I'll be at the Irvine Cars and Coffee this coming Saturday. If a true buyer for the car turns up, and I could manage the 911, I would consider letting it go.
We can talk at cars and coffee if you'd like. |

QUOTE(Bobby Smith @ Dec 18 2013, 04:58 PM)  I respectfully disagree with Craig's statement that the price is on the high side of a six conversion. Condition and the components (engine tranny etc.) mean everything. Anyone that has built a high quality conversion six knows the cost and believe me it's WAY north of $30. My 74 3.2 was built by Greg Fordahl. It has the "best of the best" components. The build ran nearly $70,000 not including the rust free donor car. Just my 2 cents. Cost to Build & Money Received when Sold are Two Way Different Things! The market is Soft on Conversions (of all Types, not just 914-6s - LS Engine swaps into other cars are Solt too) |

I bought it already done for less than the original build. I have a standing offer for $30K. The buyers are out there for nice conversions. I've owned 2 original 6's and my conversion 3.2 6 literally blows them away but obviously does not have the "collector" value. |

I've been dealing with cars for long enough to know that you pretty much never get back out what you spend on them. I took no offense with Carr's comments, so get off his back.
I honestly wish this thread would die already, you people keep bringing it up.. everytime it gets bumped, I start thinking about selling it again. I kind of wish it would fall to the second page and stay there...permanently. |

Way to go, I need a good laugh. #3 tell it like it is -(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Reminds me just a few days ago.. I was standing for a cup at Starbucks. Line was close to the door, a 20-30 year old bumps into me hard to and then says...excuse me. I bumped him back and and say the same - excuse me, he says do you want to take this outside. I responded, I'm standing here - how about right here. Some times, you gotta stand your ground. ...he walks off. |

I agree with this assessment. I've never been a fan of "feeler" ads...either sell it or not. To post, "if the right..." sounds hokey. Contrary to popular belief, "uncommitted sales ads" do not create/drive demand (or inspire buyers to "jump") - enthusiasts are generally too smart for that ploy. Best wishes - the car looks like a decent driver.
PS: ANY cage on a street car is very controversial...I love the affect it has on a 914 chassis but the safety (non-helmet) is a big turn-off for most. Tough call...
