There's gotta be more to the story? I mean I know modded doesn't sell like original but that seemed like a nicer car than 36k

if we look at the Europe auctions over the last few yrs, it is interesting that modded 914-6s and 911s get very high prices - perhaps those buyers are not as afflicted with the originality fetish as we in USA?

$90K for a 914-6?! Were they smoking crack or something?! That's insane, and not in a good way...

[sixaddict]

Estimate was for 80-100K so it came in the middle and actually pretty logical based on the quality of the build.

Top notch restoration and probably not a bad deal when one looks at restoration costs. Glad the owner was happy with the result!

[dlkawashima]

Having seen the car in person, I can say without hesitation that it is one of the best 914-6 restorations I've seen ... spare no expense. I'm sure the owner spent more than "$5K - $6K on a frickin paint job."

The owner had to sell this car for personal reason's... not because he was trying to make a buck.I'm sure he had more into it then it sold for. It's not cheap or easy to get a car restored to this condition. Ask any of us who are trying. So when someone says are you smoking crack. It just shows your ignorance. I feel for this owner at having to sell. You spend your time building your dream, chasing the correct parts, dealing with bad vendors that just want to steal your money, buying rusted shit that people pass off as pristine and when you finally get it to somewhere close to what you dreamed of... you have to sell it.

If it was easy... crack dealers would be doing it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

A beautiful car for sure but I question the lack of detail. Puzzling why so many areas are wrong on a car that went through such a major restoration. The only thing I can deduce is that whoever did the restoration either didn't know the 914-6 or didn't care enough to do the research.
To name a few examples:
Headlight surrounds should be white not black.
Incorrect (late version) rear view mirror.
Euro rear lenses on a US car.
The fog light switch is in the wrong location
Rear window defogger switch is in the wrong location.
Front trunk lid cable catheter is painted orange (should be white)
Front alignment plates & bolts are painted orange (should be plated)
The top of shock towers should be coated with black undercoating.
The left front headlight motor is missing the manual black knob.
Some tools missing and some of the tools are incorrect.
VIN area on top of the inner wheel well should be painted orange.

Those are all minor nit-pic shit. Please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Does it stroke your ego to make a list like that? Arm chair quarter backs are a dime a dozen. This is a beautiful car

You obviously didn't get my point.

[altitude411]

Obviously... I didn't realize you were a concourse judge flexing your muscles and shining your new badge. My apologies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

No, no, it's a valid criticism. For the amount of effort (and expense) that went into the restoration, the car should be just about perfect. I have to admit that I noticed only the rear view mirror and the euro taillights. On the other hand, most of us can only dream of owning a car of this quality (I know you have several) and can forgive the minor flaws.

[raynekat]

I would add....if this much is obviously incorrect, how much more is there that is hidden that is not right? Just proves it's difficult to do these cars absolutely correct.

Still a great looking car.

There's another nice looking example on Ebay right now.
With a price of $150k.
Beauty.

I've sort of looked at the goings-on at BJ over the weekend, and the prices on all the cars seem to be awfully low, or is it just me?

Some good deals. Depends how many serious bidders are interested in a particular car. Some added price to what you see bid are 10-15% premiums and cost to ship home or haul yourself, getting to and from the auction, hotels ect...

[socal1200r]

So it sold for $90K, and he had more than that into it?! On a 914?!

This is delusional, and apparently, if someone was willing to pay $90K for it, that delusional mentality is contagious.

I'm not saying it's not a nice car, it is, but not $90K nice, IMO. But hey, when you're talking supply and demand, opinions don't count for much, especially at an auction like that.

Glad that the owner sold it for that much, good for him. Just strengthens the market for all of us other 914 owners...

it's very easy to stick $60 grand in the parts, paint and motor to make one correct, with the real Six parts . . . not to mention the full year of labor it takes. . My last one hit 1800 hours when fully complete. . $90K is a correct price for this car

Can't wait to see how much you ask when you sell your 914 because it wasn't worth a $5k paint job.

LOL your batting 1000...another post to reaffirm your ignorance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

That Gooding six is amazing. I just don't have $90K for one.
