Was anyone talking of selling at Okteenerfest?

So... my WTB ad has already notched up over 1700 views. Not found a car yet, but I can play the long game.

If people are clicking on my thread so often, I figure I should make it worth their while looking, until such time as I find a car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So instead of random bumps, I will post pics of nice GTs, the kind of cars that have inspired me to finally pull the trigger and buy one.

First, here is a race GT that I photographed at Spa in Belgium, on the annual Spa 6 Hours Classic race weekend:

Thanks for the link (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not for me that one though...

I'm looking for an all steel car, a GT not a 916, and with a 6 in it already.

Really depends on what you want. Simple 6 conversion with flares or the full Monty GT conversion with all the fancy parts. Good thing is if you build it, you know what's under the paint.

I've already missed out on a few suitable cars, and they were priced $30k-40k. And that's where my budget range sits.

My 2.7RS rep was a full back to shell, nut and bolt build, and took several years.
I have neither the patience nor the budget (!) to revisit a project like that any time soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

My heart is not set on an exact GT rep. Just needs to be a solid, steel flared 6 conversion, decent paint, well done strengtheing, that looks right and goes right, but without all the rare as hens teeth parts and details...

Have you seen this Nor Cal car on Ebay...Let me know if you need a PPI done as I live only 30 minutes from there. Real 914-6 Signal Orange, Steel flared but non-original engine.

Wow, no reserve on that one? With 4+ days left on it, I don't see the bidding staying south of $40K, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Thanks Dominic, that is a very nice looking car, at least from the advert anyway ;-)

I agree with iwanta914-6: I bet the bidding goes into overdrive toward the end of auction.

I stopped bumping this WTB thread as I have been working on another lead...

Always good to have a contingency just in case that does not work out though!

Looking closer at the car, I think this is/was August 2015's COTM, previously owned by(914 username) laflaur ?

No disrespect meant to the ebay seller, but I suspect he bought it last month and is now flipping it.

Pelican linky linky

Pity really: I saw laflaur's post on pelican in August, and PMed him there just a couple of days later (and via 914world soon after). I never heard back, presumably too slow...

Still, for everything a reason: meant that I moved on to other options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

Not sure if this fits your requirements, but......

This is a very cool 914-6 tribute that CPR has for sale. It has a 911T engine that's been built up to S specs with a lot of NOS 914-6 parts.....they're asking $49K. Apparently it was built by George Hussey some years ago.

Lower it, with wider fuch's and lower profile tires...PMO fuel injection...loud muffler...would be a cool hotrod.

It does look OK... but it looked a lot better when it was still for sale at $29K just two months ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Here is Bob the builder's original thread

Or click back one page on this very thread when Bob offered it to me

Seems like signal orange 914-6 conversions attract flippers!

Thanks to everyone for the recent links and PMs on leads for other cars...

All going well on an upcoming PPI, my quest to buy a 914 may soon be achieved...

While I can appreciate CPR's overall quality of cars...$49k for a conversion seems really steep.
