I have no doubt you could fix it but I could find you a better car. Thank you for a ray of wisdom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

Looks like someone pulled the trigger, sold for somewhere between $15,300-17,500.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Porsche-914-1...;orig_cvip=true Sold is sold, armchair market quarterbacks aside. |

I would buy it and do it in a heartbeat if we did not have so much going on here
QUOTE(sithot @ May 30 2019, 01:51 PM) I nominate George Hussey to step up. I know what a true restoration COSTS with a good carcass and this isn't it. This is a hole looking for $50-$100K depending on how well it's executed. |

that 550 is a local legend, he is a Porsche mechanic, ran a shop and 550's are slightly rarer than 914/6. it was burned, not destroyed by time, big difference.

Yeah, but the same theory applies, 20 years from now there will be very few un-restored matching numbers 914/6's to be had, and many people will wish they had grabbed this one. People always talk about all the "other better cars" until they are all gone. Sometimes you just have to stake a claim and do the work. I've spent many hours of my life on projects others have scoffed at, only to have the same people try and buy the car when I'm done. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Some get it, some don't, it's like love, if you think too much sometimes you miss out on a lot of life. Most guys would prefer a car to work on, indefinitely even, rather than going to another cars and coffee and tell 10 guys what the car is and another 10 that is isn't for sale. |
