I am no Porsche expert although I have owned a few over the years. Ran across a 914 in a warehouse that is supposedly a 914/6. It has a 914/6 VIN stamped into the front right apron that looks factory (914043xXXX) The engine numbers match, trans numbers match and it has all of the 914/6 details that I could find like five bolt Fuchs, correct gauges, ignition, wiring harness, engine mounts, oil cooler, rear valance, etc. But the owner says he does not think it is a real 914/6 car. It has been in the warehouse for over 30 years and needs restoration but it is a very solid and straight car.
Engine is out as is the trans. The rear fuchs are a little wider than the fronts. The owner is asking me to make him an offer. So what I need to know is a. What is this car worth if it has ALL of the 914/6 stuff and it is NOT a real car?, and b. What would it be worth in this condition if it WAS a real car? Attached image(s) |

It sure beats buying a 914 that has been sitting out side in the elements...where you possibly have to replace say 1/3 of the chassis. I'm not saying its bad,but at what cost and time. Regarding some of the posted suggestions, they are great...as in school, do your homework. Regarding the rain tray ..how about the original owner updated this to protect the 40 mm webbers? Good luck with your journey. |
