914-6 on Ebay now Options

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....

Eventually everyone will look up and not be able to find complete 914-6 projects and look at ones like that are reasonably priced and say, "Man, I shoulda!"

I think the big flaw that everyone makes when evaluating projects is that they look at them in the moment in terms of value, but fail to take into account that a car like this will take about 5 years to do. My experience is hold any desirable Porsche for 5 years and it only goes up in value, take this and the fact that the car will be a better car in 5 years then the value looks a lot different.

When I buy a project for myself I do this kind of math. So in the case with this car. If you think it's worth $25,000 in today's dollars and you would pay that, because you want a car to restore, then the $35,000 should be no problem since it will probably be worth that in 5 years or so.

Also, remember, restoring cars is cheap therapy and for many of us it's the journey, not the destination, so don't get so hung up on whether or not it's a perfect deal, look more would this be a good car to restore and a great car to own and drive. Things were a lot easier before these cars were worth so much. I bought my 914-6 project back in 2011 for $3500, that was a no-brainer!
