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? |

Anyway, to the OP's question, it is a question and one I wonder about from time to time (mainly as I really need to do an agreed upon value insurance policy).
I haven't seen a "benchmark" or high watermark sale of a subtle six conversion, but it seems like the high market for a fantastic weapons grade/flared six conversion with all the "right" stuff might be $90-100k to a buyer who understands the cost to build one, while the low end might be $70-80k (for the screaming deal, or a car with some but not too many needs)? I don't know where that leaves a really nice subtle hot-rodded six conversion…but I don't think it's in the same ballpark—yet. So maybe the range is $30-35k on the low end to $45-50K on the high end? So, about half? But, again, I can't point to a single benchmark sale. |
