914-6 Conversion for sale

Car was at WCC2004

thanks John

Nice car, too bad it's a two liter six though.

Again nice car...

But I hate "best offer over $19,000.", to me that's just dumb, It's $19000 firm or $20000 or best offer, but "best offer over $19,000.".....


Ah-ha-yup how'd $30,000 sound....me's tinks that dar over 19 fousand...ah-ha-yup!




BTW I don't care, but this does belong in the classifieds.

give the guy a break... it's a nice looking car. Sorry you have to part with it.

lovely car....sad to see ya leave, but you'll be back bye for now

Beautiful paint on that car! I saw it at the WCC and it's much nicer in person. I guess I just assumed that that car had a 3.2 or something.

Wow, what a beautiful car. I am sure it will be hard seeing it driven away when some lucky guy buys it. One thing though.....I think you should change your web page to /6 conversion. The replica title makes it sound like a kit car or something. Kind of cheapens it. Just my opinion. Sure is a beauty though. As you can see I am partial to white 914's. Eddy

hey see ya have a 323 gtx I had one of those for rally cross and a 323 ITB car. They were alot of fun.

I don't have either one now but I do from time to time see the 323 at an autox or road race. Think it's like the 3rd or fourth owner after me now.

Ive ridden in it, Its a very, very nice car! Everything is very well done. Very sound car.

Hope you sell it!

cobbled together six conversions with bad paint sell for 8-10k One done nicely,correctly , should be worth 19k
Seeing is believeing though.Good luck.

Looks like a lot of car for the money.

Thanks for all the input. If I does sell it will be my 1st time without a 914 for 19 years. I feel dirty.

I did not really know how to price it. I know how much i have in it and i have watched what other conversions go for. Add in a little "what seems right logic" and there you have it.

John

What a nice car, I don't think you'll have any problem selling it. Bad timing on my part; I might have been interested but I just picked up a '74 for the Suby conversion. Wonder how much that six engine would have sold for?

a friend of mine had a 323 GTX......that was fun, too! not too many of those around...

Yeah the 323 GTX is my daily driver and autocross beater. Its a lot of fun.

Nothing like seeing the look on a Corvette drivers face when you smoke him up a freeway onramp. Especially when 1 week earlier the same guy made a big point of letting me know his 40K 5.7 liter car was faster than my 914. I think he felt a little silly when what appears to be a mazda 323 econo box just blew him away.


Just have to make sure the boost is up. Left foot braking helps. 1.6 liters does not give you a lot of torque. However a hybrid turbo and electonic boost controller gives you about 200hp in a pretty light car.

curious, why did you not use the factory 914-6 motor mount ?

I've seen the car.

It is really nice...

John is a friend of mine and I hate to see him let this car go, it is one of the top 5 914 types I have seen in person. This car is the total package, and if you want one thats finished to just enjoy, this is it. Hope you end up keeping it John...

I did not use the factory mount because I always had planned to use a larger motor eventually and felt the way the factory mount held the motor, 1 bolt, it would pivot too much under torque, but just a opinion.
