just found this one on eBay (#4569913235)

sounds that it could be a solid car that needs "a little" work

I'd love to find such a car in Europe - if it's as good as the description says I'd use

It's hard to find one in $9,000 condition.. I think that one is in about $6,000 condition..

you have no idea how expensive these cars are in Europe

Yup just as Gustl says...
A 2.0 4 cylinder in about the same condition as the 6 in the add wil have an asking price of around 6000 euro's
I've seen several 914's 4 cylinder cars being offered for around 9000 euro's..... so I agree with Gustl that 9000 dollars for an original 6 is not all that much money, it just depends what side of the big pond you're on....

I am sorry... would you like to buy a slightly used '74 2.0 for.. say... 22 million Iraqi dinars?



I do feel your pain, but right now, mostly in my hungover stomach.

I have sold two 911's to European buyers. Shipping in a container is less costly than coast to coast in US, less than $1500 Long Beach to Bremerhaven.

unfortunately in Austria these cars are much more expensive than in other European countries

to give you an idea about Austrian teener prices, just watch this dealer's homepage

this guy sells mostly cars in good to very good condition
remember that 1000 EUR is about 1200 US$

so, I should consider to import this SIX

Gustl, the buyer of a '70 911 which I sold on Ebay about a year ago was from Salzburg. He is the one who shipped to Bremerhaven. He used California Shippers (calship.com). They picked up the car from my home with a truck transporter, took it 1000 miles to Long Beach, CA, put it in a container and shipped to Germany for about $1500. From Wisconsin to an east coast port and straight across the Atlantic might cost less.
The six is in Wisconsin and could be rusty but seller says not. Maybe there is a club member close by who could look for you. The price is sure tempting, even in the US. Original silver with steel (factory?) flares, it won't last long unless it is very rusty.

Jim, many thanks for your infos, but I really can't imagine to buy a car from the other side of the pond when I just saw a photo of it - even if an other club member checked it

I guess I'm not stong enaugh (mental) for such a deal

I don't blame you. Really surprised me that the fellow bought my '70 911 based only on Ebay pictures. He won the auction at $11,800 plus shipping costs. It was a nice car, black (not original), tan full leather. A little rust below the rear window. I figured the dollar/Euro exchange rate plus the value in Austria must have made it a bargain for him to take the risk.

well, this really sounds like a bargain

a '70 911 in good shape is about 25k EUR here in Austria, T a little less, S a little more
very good cars reach up to 30-35k EUR

Guess we both got a good deal. My reserve on the car was $10.000!
