Hey guys I saw this about a month ago at a local cars and coffee. The kid was a nice young man selling his 914-6 so that he could put his energies into his early 911. Does this price seem reasonable?

PS: If it was build right, it would cost you at least that much to replicate it.

You couldn't build it for that price. That's a lot of power for a narrow body car.
Adding on those steel flairs and painting the car would be another $10-20k depending on additional rust repair, dents, etc.

That's a heck of a lot fo car for the ask. I would love to see a bunch of photos of the whole car. You would be money ahead to buy that if it is all done right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I like 5he look of a narrow body car. Way I figure it was the way they designed them and the way we saw them coming out of the dealers. The power is no longer unusual. I suppose the light car is. Point being: I like that car from what I can see.

I think as nice or nicer cars go on bat for less
50k seems like alot but to those who know
It cost at least 65 to replicate this car .

But i think finding a buyer at 45 or 50
Will be extremly tough. Thats 993 money right ?

38k and its gone in a hour

Something about an Olympic blue six that's weird to me.

I love the color, don't get me wrong, one of my favorites.

Sixes didn't come in that color. Maybe it's just me.

I do love the car, I'd like to see the build first hand.

I think 50k is a good starting point for a 3.6. My wife saw me looking at this and said you're not getting another one are you?????

Dont know the guy, but Im familiar with the car. He purchased it in Burlingame sometime last year on Rollins Road. Apparently original guy had to sell due to personal issues. From what I understand, it is a very nicely built engine, good car. Disappointing to see it isnt original as id been told. Didnt know olympic blue wasnt a 6 color.

A 3.2 or 3.6 makes it a dependable daily driver SLEEPER.
I hope he gets the money.
Hard to duplicate for the money.
The competition is a modern 911...the Porsche icon.
914s are still not everyones' cup of tea.

It's a lot of car for the money, HC, and better still after selling the 15x8s and flares.

I hear Larmo on the wrong color for a six thing, but it's a perfect excuse to do one of my hot-rod looks: "Invisibly" widened rear fenders with 16x7 and 16x8 Fuchs in factory 1980s finishes. This car would be stunning done that way, with 205s and 225s or 245s. I'd leave the black bumpers to go with the black wheel centers. Done.

Just my take.

None of these are quite as subtle/invisible as the rear flares I saw on a car that sadly burned to the ground back in the 1990s—or one wearing widened VW steelies around the same time—but you get the idea. Love the 16x9s, but maybe a bit extreme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Also kind of like the idea of keeping this one's paint a bit more on the rough and ready side...would be a killer car for CA rallies and events.

i recently considered a very nice '89 Carrera cab at $48K ask - it had the entire 3.2 top-end done & 100K miles on it - didn't like the color combo much - decided to wait awhile

the Base 2020 corvette is to be priced at $60K -

. . . that changes one's perspective

Those Corvettes will come with a large dose of depreciation. Plus it seems like the first year Corvettes always have problems.

First year? Try every year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'll never forget the first time I heard a guy say his FRC roof flew off at a vett meet and someone replied "yeah, that happens" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You are correct on the depreciation, they drop fast

“Price seems on the high end.”

(Checks receipts for current 2.7 twin plug down to bare metal build, which are eclipsing $60k)

“Ummm....That’s a lot of car for the money.”

The black conversion car sold by AASE days ago with the 3.6 and G50 took 2 tries to sell on Ebay. Sold for 38k, and was pretty darn nice too.

Is this the high water mark for six conversions, at $52,000 + fees?
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-porsche-914-6-gt/

It was a really nicely turned out GT-look car with broad appeal and was presented well to boot, but even then I remember being surprised at the final price over $50k given some of the details (silver paint on the Fuchs) and a 2.0-liter six making only 110 hp at the wheels. But the car sure had the look...

It’s almost always easier and cheaper to buy than build. Even at $50k.
