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? |

One day left but still quite cheap as far as these go. Last two hours will tell.

One day left but still quite cheap as far as these go. Last two hours will tell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Still quite cheap indeed. If the paint is anywhere near as nice as it looks in the photos I checked out (didn't do a deep dive) and the engine work is as good as the lineage of hands suggest, the paint, engine conversion, and engine would be $50-75k to duplicate on their own. It's a great color, too. Most of the stuff I'd change can be filed under "fun details/personal preferences": returning the window/targa trim to stock, stock mirrors, bare metal instead of red calipers, 15x6 deep sixes, interior freshening, etc.—stuff that can be done over time while enjoying a six-cylinder 914. |
