About to head down the road of stripping my originally gold car that is currently red.
What is a good color?
I am all over the place.
Flared 5 lug, power plant will keep getting bigger until I die.
1) silver with a red Interior
2) modern, in your face HOC metallic gold
3) Black (but rick/Elliott already did that
4) red....
5) some cool pastel color
The most rare 914 color of course
Strawberry
That would look great.

I kind of have a hard time calling someone who can pony up the bucks a 'poor soul'. Not a value judgement I'd be willing to make.

I think the engine build is what brings this cars price so high. The chassis build is super clean and detailed, but many 914-6 GT builds have this as well for a lot less money.
I like the car, but would have done a few things different IMHO...

Spent $370,000 restoring and building a 914. I don't think that covers the cost of the car, so let's say $400,000 spent.

WOW.
The "upgrades" are interesting. But for that price the number of buyers it speaks to, will be VERY limited.

Ok you guys.....quit thinking and start feeling.....how much fun would this car be if you got it for free?? Let's talk car....not money...k? OMG....my car was down for three (3) months and once I got to drive it again the grin on my face was unstoppable...these little guys are just too much fun which is why we get addicted....like heroin....."it felt so good I want to do it more". Why else would we do this? Up to $300 plus K? Like all of us.....pure addiction.....so my point is that there is no point...leave me alone and let me work on my car....(trunk hinge mount replacement for current "project"). Without this addiction what else would I do??

BTW that looks like a real nice car!! I can't even imagine what driving it would be like?? I still think a 2.0 six in a six is plenty.....everyone else likes 3.2 and above....I guess I would to if I didn't have to pay for it....never been in one so maybe I would drink the cool aid and have to have one.....

Isn't that the truth... Also driving the 914 just "feels" faster than driving most modern cars... so when you have a fast 914... well that's just a whole nuther story
But for $225k, that opens the doors to alot of much higher end cars.

This is a seriously fast car.
Much faster than your typical 3.0 or 3.2 transplant.
From the builder:
Pro driver Andrew Davis, who recently drove this car, said it was by far the fastest 914-6 he had ever driven, including all the full-on race cars, and he felt confident it would out-accelerate a 991 Cup car to 100 MPH.That is really hauling some beans there.
All coming out of a 2.8.
Dyno pull for the skeptics....not the numbers (+300hp), but just how fast this engine spools up under load. Pretty amazing.

For about the same amount of money, you could also buy a brand new nicely equipped 911 turbo.

I agree, it would be talked about at that price (and possibly sold) but not warrant so many threads.
