So it certainly appears if one uses BAT as a reference point that weapons grade 914/6 builds have been fully excepted as “worthy” the Porsche market.
Nearly all of those builds, however, have been high dollar endeavors, and while highly impressive machines many of them seem a bit compromised for actual road use or touring. Any thoughts on where 3.0 and 3.2 L builds that are not taken to the max now trade? |

There is no way I will come out ahead on either one as I am paying to have the work done It kind of begs the question--with the massive up surge in the parts required to do conversions where that will drive the market. 10-15 years ago you could convert a 4 to a 6 for "reasonable" money... not so much now, donor engines that used to be well under 10k in running condition are now being listed at $20-30k... a number that probably exceeds total cost to do a good quality conversion from a decade back. Wise advise in this thread to buy someone else’s Completed conversion if your goal is coming out well financially. Amen to that brother! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
