winner wins bragging rights only

Last one went for 10K. Thats my bid

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application...d=403&pop=1

so at $10k - how much profit is there?

$2000 for car + $7000 for resto + $1000 to BJ + etc = loss

Barrett-Jackson

$74,500

Oops! $7450

11500.

2009 1974 2.0 sold for 10900. This one is a 1.8

$15,000 ...

$15.001.00

Black bumpers, black wheel well finish (should be bdy color) 1.8 liter, radio and glove box door missing.

unknown chassis mileage or miles since rebuild?

I would go as high as $10.5 but it may sel las high as $14,000

Rear quarter panel looks pulled for tire clearance. $ 12.500.00 normally, this economy... $ 10.200.00 maybe.

$18k if it has fuel injection, $12K if it has carbs.

8500

With the "new" recovered seats and new carpet, the least they could have done was get a new Mikey's Shift Knob.

$12,375

I like the black 'appearance group' bumpers. What do you figure the red button beside the ingition is?

$9500

Here's a list of some of the past 914 at BJ ...

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application...E&model=914

$7,200

In the past as most of you have seen the Porsche community is not loved very much on Barrett Jackson. Unless you have something extremely rare and have the proper credentials,records and provenance the cars do not bring much. I have seen some great 911 & 930's literally given away or what Bob Varsha calls "well bought". 1974 1.8 - I would guess it would not bring over 8K. Those guys know what to look for.

my 02.

$9k

$6K if it sells

Yeah, I know I'm a CASOB

$6200 My bid

At BJ the bidders are looking for perfect cars. Those are the ones that

get the top dollar, not perfect just quickly get pushed through and sold.

I don't think so ...

Of all the 914s they've sold in the past 10 years, by far the most money was spent on V8 conversion cars.

$7,200. Unfortunately it's not a 2.0, the interior "restoration" didn't use the right materials, and it's still rough around the edges (missing glovebox door, missing speaker enclosures, missing radio, ...) I bet this had an aftermarket stereo w/ door mounted speakers at one time that was removed during the restoration but the completeness of the restoration is questionable given simple things like the speaker enclosures were not addressed. Hard to tell from limited pictures what the rest of the car looks like and if there was good attention to detail.

im saying it will sell for $11000 ( not that its worth that), a year or two ago i saw a conversion 911 slantnose (and not a very good one ) sell for $40000+ way more then it was worth, i had just traded my nicely done slantnose conversion for a 1966 mustang fastback and thought i should have brought it to barrrett, just shows something sell for more then its worth if two people want it bad enough

They also have a '58 Porsche Tractor on the list. And what is the red button?

To funny. I supplied David with the is 74 1.8 914 that they are selling at BJ. I supplied him with a lot of really great parts. David is known for his attention to detail. Thats what he does best. You could eat off the floor of his shop. If you ever get to the PDX area, it would be worth a stop at his shop on 7th and Couch.
David did not spare any effort on this 914. You should have seen it before he got it,when it was at CAMP. Wish I had some pics.
Anyway I say $10000-12500.
Craig at CAMP

CAR LOOKS VERY NICE. JUST BECAUSE IT IS A BJ AUCTION, 15K.

Also depends on what day it goes through. Friday & Saturday get the Top $$$

I'm flying to AZ today & will be at Barrett Jackson Tues & Weds. Looking forward to checking this 914 out. I'm not sure I will recognize a 914 that's not in a thousand pieces like mine

My guess is $9500

looks like it goes off mid-day Thursday. Anyone in attendance that day, maybe you could update us during sale? I will try to follow on internet, but will probably get distracted by work, work work. I hope it goes for good money.

Craig at CAMP,
I don't know the restorer you are referring to, and I'm not trying to throw stones, BUT,
if he is known for attention to detail, why not complete this car correctly before auction?

I agree, it would embarass me to sell a incomplete car at a big auction like bj. It's kinda like giving up and pushing it out the door in disgust.

8750 Only if the paint is really good and the gaps are straight and the mileage is less than 80k.

The pics that you are looking at from BJ were taken the day I was there. That was one month before the car was loaded on the trailer and taken to Scottsdale.
The car was far from complete and to bad it shows in these pics.
When it left there were many more parts added and the car was complete!

toooo much time on my hands i know but...
this averages out to $9563.54 (thanks for the 0.1c URY914)
so if our acumulative and all knowing wisdom on this site is good we should see a hammer price of apx. $10k

What's the Winner of our Poll get?

Going once, Going twice -

i'll send the winner a brand new 914


(hot wheel)

I'd rather have a Bugeye Sprite ... it's a rusty POS too!

I hope type47's FI bid wins. It will be good for all of us.

I can make that happen....

Nice Rick .... owned 3 of them little buggers ... good times except for gearboxes, axles and Lucas electrics ...

Thursday is bargin day at the auction been to three of them and that is when they put the low value cars no the stage. Every once in a while o great value
slips thru but thursday is junk day

$12800

MY bid is $8900

How do you know those pictures are current? For all we know, they could have been taken during the restoration and not reflect the current state of the car at all ...

Craig replied and you are correct. Pics are not current.

But again, If I want top dollar for a restoration and I'm willing to pay BJ Auction their cut, I would want the very best pics possible on the web. I am sure buyers there in person will now see that it is complete and probably correct. But I would want the internet chat before the auction to be upbeat as well.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for this one and hope he gets a good price.

McCrmicks Auction here in Palm Springs sold one last year for over $10k, that should only have fetched $6k at the most. It needed a lot. It all depends on who is in the room at the time.

AND.
the 1964 Beetle went for $15,400!! There is money in the room.

$14,500... its yellow...

Just spoke to David, the 914 goes across the block Thursday morning.
Craig at CAMP

My friend says the 59 corvette he built a few years ago is also there. 1321.1 It is for sale by the second owner.

9975

The car has some issues, but it is clean. Carpet looks wrong. Radio missing. Strange ignition button, stranger cluster button on the right side of the console. Is the glove door up or missing? Obviously this is a good restorer, but are the numbers matching?

Ground ups seem to be losing their appeal, or am I wrong when the numbers don't match or have a COA? Did not read the whole ad. I am still trying to go to sleep tonight.

Wheels were polished. Instant boner for concours, but a lot of people like them.

74 1.8 is still a hard sell to a big dough collector. They want a 6, and if there is a clean low miles 2.0L, maybe a sale there, but even a good one is only 15k now, and 15K can still buy you issues with a nice driver.

This car would have been 17 to 22k to a Japanese or Euro collector in 2007. Not thinking like that now, are they?

Maybe 10675 because it is not original but a ground up?

This is my final offer on that Hot Wheels 914!

Is it Signal Orange?
