A lot of cars got flooded during Hurricane Sandy. About a month afterwards there were hordes of Porsches of all ages and varieties showing up on automotive recycle web sites like www.copart.com and www.iaai.com. I didn't keep count but there had to be at least 1000 flooded Porsches over a period of about 9 months. It was really sad seeing so many perfect looking 80s vintage 911s, 928s and 944s showing up on these sites being listed for water damage. Just as sad to see brand new Porsches with the window stickers still attached showing up as flood cars. I know someone who bought a perfect looking 968 with M030 options that was flooded in this hurricane. He completely stripped the car down to the shell and steam cleaned it, sent the engine and trans out for complete rebuilds, put a completely new racing suspension on the car, welded in a roll cage and put in a racing seat. He ran it in the PCA cub racing series. Even with all this work and new wiring harnesses it still took him several races to find and fix all the little electrical problems. This 914/6 would need that kind of effort PLUS there is the problem of the salt water invading all the little spaces in that non galvanized 914 shell. It would probably be easier/cheaper/faster to just jack up the VIN plates and drive a new car underneath them. It would be a tremendous effort to find and fix all the rust issues with this car. Rust is always 10 times worse than it looks.
