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) |

Looking it at if from a different perspective, It's going to cost anywhere from 30K to 50k in parts and paint to restore. . plus about a year of your labor. . so the buy in has to be low enough to justify final investment. . . until you know the extent of repairs, motor build and trans work it's just a wild ass guess. Missing Six parts are expensive to locate and purchase.
Given what you pictured, I'd not want to pay much more than 20K assuming everything is there and the vin's are all correct, not swapped. Putting a Six back to correct factory produced condition is a time and money consuming investment. Done right, full restoration with numbers matching motor and trans, it's an 80K car as a driver and upwards to 100K if absolutely 100% Concour perfect. |
