http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Porsche-914-c...em=122188760966 Looks like this has been sitting in the bottom of a lake for the past decade or just parked outside for the last 40 years. Lots of nice but real rusty authentic 914-6 parts here. Maybe those alone are worth the $14k? I'm not sure I'm brave enough to take something like this on. Absolutely everything needs attention....except for the interior light. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I agree that it looks like an old flood car, but considering the prices of 6s these days, it's a pretty good candidate for resto, we all know that a lot of 356s are way worse.
I'd bet that a major commercial resto shop won't want this car because there won't be a lot of profit meat left on the bone for this reason: fixing the body, paint, engine, etc is one thing that will cost a pretty penny, but the real cost for a shop here will be labor, more exactly what I call "petty labor time". As mentioned before, every little piece of this car is dirty and/or rusted (just look at that gauge cluster) and to restore all of these pieces will cost a ridiculous amount in labor. Now if you are a home hobbyist with tons of time and skill, you could potentially have an awesome, numbers matching 6 for a decent price. |
