Found 914/6 Value Help Please Options

[0396]

8- 10k for a 914 6 engine is pretty optimistic...unless the buyer has the tub assigned from the factory for it.

But who knows,as the value is in the buyers mind.

Good luck with journey

Just based what Ive personally sold those parts for in the past year. Your going to get $2,500 if the Webers are in good shape and $500 for the 914-6 specific air box. I sold a core 914-6 engine for $4k, a 914-6 trans for $2k. Then there is the engine mount, transmission shift rod, couple other mis 914-6 specific parts. Add in heat exchangers and exhaust. $10k easy.

Remember, when you look at the unloved 914-6/ 2.0 T engine. The case sells for a grand, the crank another $1k. Rods, Heads, oil pump, p&c's chain boxes, cam towers, cams, distributor, fan, shroud, alternator, alternator shroud, fiberglass shroud, pressure plate, flywheel, ect.

Start buying these pieces separately and they add up quickly. Many people still want the right size engine in their car.

Hi,

due to all the numbers (engine, trans) and spare parts you described, it sounds not so bad.

I would also have a look at some other details, which I think most of the 914world "-6" experts answered here also know very well.

Did you see into the engine bay? If possible look at the left side (oiltank etc.):





It should not look like this side:

Yes, I agree with you if one takes that approach. I was simply thinking of a short block.

I may have missed it in the myriad of responses but how about the bolt pattern on the wheels, the wheels, and more revealing the rear brake calipers / unique to 914's although, switchable...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It has complete 5 lug correct 914/6 suspension. The rear wheels are wider than factory.

Offer $12K and go up to 15k.

It would be pretty easy for most of us, and it might take 5 minutes to determine if this is a real /6.

You need an expert to go with you.

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.

Any new developments?

Always try to get a price or a range out of the seller before making an offer. You can save yourself a lot of hand wringing this way for three reasons.
1. If you ask for a range and says $75,000-100,000 because he saw an auction where one went for $150,000, then you can just walk away.
2. He might say a number that is very reasonable and then you just pay it.
3. If you make an offer and it's higher than what he thought the car was worth he might start thinking he doesn't know what the car is worth so he goes and does research and then his number and your number are out the window and his new price is full boat or higher.
But when you do go to start talking $$$ bring cash so if you do strike a deal, then you can quickly do the deal, then call a tow truck and pay whatever it takes to get it away from there. Or bring a trailer.

I rammed into someone in the 80's with my totaled 914 and the transmission mounts broke off...

This 356A was hit very hard in the rear, it broke the ears off the gearbox.
