Needs work.....but nothing money couldn't fix. Mark Burkit is the owner of Specialty Cars.....he's a good guy and a straight shooter. My 'O' Group buddies from the Early S Registry have their early 911's serviced there. I don't live far from the shop if anyone needs additional photos taken.

It's a cool car with great history...but it needs a lot of work. Restoring these cars is not cheap, a full restoration would push it into six figures. IMO....there are other 914-6's on the market that might be a better value.

European Collectables......$84.5K
Carplanet.....$80K

Whats up with the rear valance, seems they had to really work the tail pipe to make it line up? Is that a 4 cylinder early valance?

Nice Patina ride as is !

You are correct Pete000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ; that is not a Six rear valance. The port hole on the Six is about 2" or so to the left of where that one is. That is a 4 valance and they definitely modified the muffler to work with. You can see in the one picture the muffler outlet pipe has been cut and welded to make that valance exit work. That is a nice complete Six for sure. However I think given its current condition, the price is a tad high. I see that as a $35-38K car. It needs a complete restoration.

I recall not too long ago (a few months, there's a thread somewhere) that a rusty barn find numbers matching 6 sold on ebay for around $35K. This one looks a lot better even though it too needs some work. I wouldn't do a full resto on it, just fix the problem areas and DRIVE it!

Wow! I am impressed. There are some very knowledgeable and eagle eyed folks in this forum. I would have never noticed the issue with the rear valance.
Good catch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Are you sure someone actually paid 35k for a rusted project car? Ask is not sell and ebay is full of shill tactics. I have done a number of full resto's. That car is a can of whoop ass! There isn't one part of the car that would go untouched in a restoration. NO way to keep your head above water at 44k. 15-20k may keep you close to even provided the prices still climb over the next 2 years while the car is under the knife.

True,they have gold plated tools,seriously IMO this car is a potential rotbox ,just thinking about the rust on the outside !! whats it like on the inside (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) ,potential money pit but price is a sign of the times.

This car is still on the market with the price reduced to $40K. It might be worth pursuing in the mid-$30's if someone has the time and ability to do some of the work themselves.....

Amen to that. I'm not trying to put this vehicle down. Definitely worth saving. Just know that you'll be underwater for a long time. Not a problem if you don't care. There's only so many out there, so... My .02.

The one on the early 911 registry looks like a bargain...

And fully restored it would be "valued" over six figures. So you buy it for $40K, put $75K worth of work and in the end have a car "valued" around $125K+.

These are rare cars, especially numbers matching. If the price get's any lower, someone is going to take a chance on it, restore it, and actually make a profit. Maybe one of the Porsche Classic Centers will pick it up...

I sold a silver 6 on Ebay within the last year for $31k
It had much greater needs and was far less complete.
It was not number matching.
As far as I know it stayed in the states.
I didn't set the price.
The market did.
I'm surprised this car hasn't sold.

If you have documented actual sales in that range post them. Otherwise there are a few cars advertised at that level that are window dressing with no buyers. Not that there aren't guys out there with the jack to pull the trigger but I haven't seen them selling. Just advertising.

Damn,I like the real sixes but that rust just makes my skin crawl.I must be spoiled from the fairly rust free Texas cars. Rust repair is worse than any kind of torture in my opinion.I would pay twice that price not to have to eat rust and dirt.Just my two cents. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
