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) |

I see that it has a 914-4 engine lid drip pan. I'm not sure where you are in Florida, but Steve & I are in Tampa. Not trying to brag, but I would say that we have a Expert Opinion on 914-6s. We are willing to help without undermining any deal you might have. I might even know of the car! |

Can anyone tell me what a 914/6 engine and trans may be worth needing rebuild and assembly?? Has heads, carbs, intakes, virtually everything.

Can anyone tell me what a 914/6 engine and trans may be worth needing rebuild and assembly?? Has heads, carbs, intakes, virtually everything. Not much--EXCEPT to someone with the 914-6 that it came out of. (Worth somewhere in between to someone with a 914-6 wanting an engine/trans at least of the correct type.) The 914-6 motor was basically a 1969 911T motor, AKA the wimpiest 911 motor ever produced. And a rebuild on it is nearly as expensive as a rebuild on a much higher-powered and better-regarded engine, so demand for them is relatively low. --DD |

That's with all the parts you described. Based off what I've gotten for the same parts. Demand for a 911t engine might be lower than the later engines but there is still a demand. Just go on earlySreg. There is still good money moving around for these early engines. |

QUOTE About $8-10k. That's with all the parts you described. Based off what I've gotten for the same parts. Demand for a 911t engine might be lower than the later engines but there is still a demand. Just go on earlySreg. There is still good money moving around for these early engines. So based on this, if the car is NOT real, I've got about $10,000 in 914/6 parts (engine trans and suspension), and maybe $2,000-$4,000 in a parts car with the wheels? So around $12,000 conservatively? Another possibility is that it is a rear clipped car fixed from a rear end collision years ago. (that could be another explanation for the broken trans mounting arm) If that is the case, and there is a real 914/6 front clip, and a 914/4 rear clip with all of the 914/6 running gear, what does that make this frankenstein car worth? I will be able to inspect the body up on jacks next week. |
