Got to thinking today Brad...always a dangerous thing for me...

Since you know these 914s so well, why not get some kind of credential that the insurance companies would recognize and start appraising the values of 914s?

A written appraisal would be valuable to an owner...and you would get to charge people for the looking you do at their car anyways. You would get to know every single 914 around, and could even do it for owners who live remote from the Bay Area, track each car from sale to sale and supplement your current 'income'. Its recession proof.

Not exactly 7 figures, but you dont get your hands dirty. Get the system down and there would be some good moola in it.

What yall think...for those of you who know Brad, is he the perfect guy for this or what?

I like it... but it would suck up a lot of time.

No problem -- get your admin to schedule 'em up to your place. Give them a half an hour max (quicker if you can of course). Deny travelling (unless they're willing to take an assessment from a staffer (send Andy. lol) and see what pops up. It's not like there's a billion 914's in the Bay area.

Oh, and charge a LOT. Perhaps even make it 914/6 specific -- and add an LE option (where you bring in outside specialists) who also can charge a LOT. (of course, when it comes to fuel pumps on /6's, I expect a call -- lol)

I've seen you look over car's a couple of times now. (for those who haven't been on the inspection end of a Brad inspection, you need to be there at least once in your 914 lifetime -- jezzus) There has to be a way of making use of what you know, and what you can draw on in the evaluation. I'm guessing that it's only on the upper end tho.

Certainly building a program for Cheryl might be interesting. You could have a formula for her to follow, and if everything passes, life is fine. If it fails, in this era of digital pics, she shoots some pics and you look at them and bug Andy.
