914 bodykit, Slant nose Options

[hyespeed]

I have a brand new in the box 914 slant nose and I believe wide body panels. My dad bought it in the 90s and never used it. He passed and I don't know what to do with it. What are the value of these things?

Pictures help, more than one company made those...some uglier than others (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

$100 to $1000

Shipping is usually the deal breaker for many people.

I'm not sure to be honest I'd have to unwrap it. It's literally still wrapped up

That's pretty cool, pretty nice kit. Wonder what a new one in the box sells for today.

I was off. Maybe that's what RH charged to install it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wonder if he is still sitting on all those parts! Great price if that is something one is interested in.

I suspect the sale price will be between 300 and 600. There simply isnt any demand for this type of body kit. People who want a 914 want a 914. No longer are they stuck with a $500 car and want to make something different out of it, as it was in the 90's/00's. Even at that price you'll probably be sitting on it for at least 6 months.

Love that kit. I think I still have the sales brochure from Rayco somewhere in my collection. I'm not a fan of fiberglass and ended up building a GT clone with steel fenders. I think EBay would be your best bet to sell it. You could try pelican, 914club and our classifieds first.

[hyespeed]

For 600 I'll just keep it I have a 914 in the garage that's just sitting there who knows

Actually, the Rayco kit was around well before the Boxster prototype. I remember it from the mid 80's. I f I remember correctly, it underwent a slight styling change in '88 or so. I believe they changed the nose section a bit and also lengthened the side strakes at that time.

Chalon also did a styling change at that time too. They changed the front nose section from the 911 style air dam type to a 930 style air dam type, adding two small air splitters on each side of the air dam, in front of the front wheel arches and under the (fake) bumper bellows/indicator lights.

I agree with all above. Probably going to difficult to sell those at the moment. I think the ship has passed for 914's whose bodies are highly modified in a way that doesn't resemble something the factory did at some point or another.

I also have a Audi 5000 trans axle sitting in the garage

I used to lust after a Rayco kit
and had many phone conversations with the manufacture back in the mid 80's
I still have a trunk lid with one of their spoilers on it
I remember 3 different nose styling configurations
yours is the last that I'm aware of

your going to collect A LOT of dust on those parts
I agree, the body kit mentality has passed for these cars
maybe some fierro guy will be your next market

like the stock market... they went down
but unlike the market, I don't think they will ever climb up again

if you love it great!
use it...

don't expect it to appreciate
expect to spend at least 10K on install and paint
and also to depreciate the car they are put on by another 10K

[hyespeed]

I work in body/paint but if that's the case I'll toss it.0

[brant]

didn't realize you work in body and paint
so except for your time, the install cost goes way down

but any body kit is still going to greatly depreciate a stock 914 these days.

Maybe pickup a salvaged car for cheap and slap the kit on it. Could be a fun project.
