factory 914-6 with rebuilt (non-matching) engine on Ebay Options

So opinions are like..... ah ...belly buttons ....everybody has one so each one has some truth but is hardly gospel....to me people see numbers based on their universe. While I like flared cars, I am going to disagree with Mark , the correct/ original car will bring the most $$ and appeal to the broadest market based on purity. Once numbers don't match ( engine) value drops. Adding flares is cool but does damage to originality. Race cars go for much less for obvious reasons.
This does not mean someone wont hit big numbers occasionally but if logic is involved then numbers drop. I feel market has softened and cars are selling at a slower pace. So there's my 2 cents and worth just that ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I agree. It may be that the flared cars are just appealing to a different type of buyer. I think the pure cars will always bring more value. But there is a contingent of buyers out there that want the performance-oriented flaired flyer, and will pay for it. The conversion cars with flares are popular.

My question is what is the bogie on a
( nice driver) $55g > $65g
with Matching #s eng and trans.
VS Matching engine and non matching Trans
VS Matching trans and non matching engine.

I can guess but I think it would be interesting to hear some other chatter on this.

I think the discount as a result of a non-matching engine is large. On a well-done restored car it seems to be larger than a 15% hit. I’m not seeing much of a hit related to a non-matching number transmission. It just doesn’t seem as important to investors. Just my .02.

And a lot of CoAs don’t include the tranny number. Not to mention the four tranny’s aren’t numbered.
