Quite a project.
Not sure I'm brave enough when I see the underneath pics of the center tunnel area. You'll have to throw a lot of time and money at this one. But it would be a cool adriatic blue 914-6 when you're finished.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Porsche-914-9...353.m1438.l2649 |

Wow. McKinney is just down the road from me. I wonder how much it will go for. Might have to keep an eye on this one.

not too many pictures to really tell its overall condition, but at the current price that is all it is worth for a restoration. Been hit in the front end before and a late model front panel has been welded in looks like a late left headlight box as well.

Car is at $35k now (10pm PST on July 22).
Too me, it's almost too expensive unless you can do a "vast" majority of the work yourself. The dollar signs just spin in my head when I look closely at all the pics. If you go to any decent shops to get the work done, you'll be under water in no time. If you can do your own metalwork, bodywork and paint....you'll be miles ahead. Some things will be tough to take shortcuts on to me. I'd want the drivetrain (eng and gearbox) to be redone by professionals. You'll send the brakes out to PMB, redo the entire suspension, etc. Every rubber seal, entire interior is shot, etc. How's the electrical system in a car that looks like this? Will it need serious attention to the wiring harness, gauges, switches, lighting, etc? Guess it depends on how nice you want this car, what parts are still available, and how much you can do yourself. A gigantic project no matter what you think. |

Way too much money and way to much work. If the floors are that bad how do you think the longs are. All those nice Porsche parts have over 100K miles on them. I don't think I have enough time to do that much work much less the money.

I just keep thinking how much better shape that car is in than my POS four banger was when I started my project... and how much more my car would be worth in the condition it's in now if it had that VIN... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Weird bid history. You'd be better off trying to buy Cairo's car and spare yourself years of frustration and a pretty good stack of C-notes. Anyone buying that rattle can black car based on the shitty collection of uninformative pictures could be in for a rude wake up.

About now I'm feeling really good about my personal policy of only buying complete, non-rusty, running cars... Yikes.

Why is it described as a 1971 when the VIN tag indicates 1970 ?
