914-6 on Ebay now Options

[dr914@autoatlanta.com]

What's goin on in the trunk?
How does the front left headlight box differ early to late - I'm don't know what to look for there...

the late headlight box (75 76) is shorter on the side to clear the bumper shock. Replacement parts by Porsche were all superseded to the late 75 76 front panel and headlight box, so well intended body shops repairing these cars bought new factory parts and welded them in, but wound up modifying the original look of the car with these parts, so spotters can see a mile away that the cars were crashed.

Listing ended early. Supposedly because not 1971, but 1970. But, that question was answered several days earlier and it was obvious anyway.

Not (yet) re-listed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

It has two of the most unusual sway bars I've ever seen.
Did it get above $35,000 ?

Don't think so
It's been relisted on Ebay.

Interesting , this was listed on eBay UK but with a different seller for £26000, contacted the seller who was quick to reply but was selling it to the trade ! But give me an offer ..... I didn’t but was re emailed twice for an offer ......

I wonder if someone is trying to flip without actually owning the car. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Back on Ebay again.

Buy it now is $37,500.
I think last time it got up to $35k.
Guy (or gal) should have taken the money and ran.
Big gamble to see if he can get an additional $2500 more for the car considering all that it will need.
What's the saying.....don't look a gift horse in the mouth? Maybe that doesn't apply? ha

I'll be selling a much better matching number 914 6 in the near future.

That is one of the rattiest “all there” cars I have ever seen.

Love the Douglas tires.

Notice the underside of the car - tan undercoating, no body color overspray.

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!

Apparently sold at the B.I.N. of $37500
