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? |

Mine is a hot rod driver quality original six. Very happy with it and it presses all the right buttons for me.
I am just happy to see that the market now recognizes just about all of the 914 variants including race cars (sorry wild custom variants, you are still not there, and probably never will be) I equate the weapons grade 914 conversions to the conversion of mid year aircooled SC 911’s to long hood RS conversions. These seem to currently be economically viable as you see some spec cars being built for sale and I guess making money in the $120 x 150,000 range. The six conversions are not far behind. I think they will get there but the market is smaller. Nice thing is that is where a lot of good 3.0/3.2 engines come from that end up in six conversions |
