It seems that I keep seeing the prices of original 914-6s inching up and up. With the upcoming auctions in Arizona, I was wondering if any 914-6s were going to go over $50,000.
What's the highest price anyone has heard of so far (not including factory GTs, 916s, etc.)? Is it finally the next Speedster?
Full Version: $50,000 914-6

I paid just shy of 50 grand for the 71 green one with 5600 miles on it back in 1991!
Why is it on a forklift? 
Can you put it together for less than $50,000? That has always been the question, and depends how many parts you already have stashed away and how much work you can do yourself. We had a 914-6GT lookalike here in Chicagoland about tens years ago that the owner had invested over $50,000 in when he was done (and then sold it for about half that amount when he went on to his next project).

Because there isn't anything to put the jackstands under

yes, but i got lucky. long story, but i got a deal on *ALL* parts needed to make this a concours original all numbers matching 914-6 ...
i'm guesstimating around ~25k by the time it's done ...

I payed $6000 for mine (#1937) about 15 years ago. It was a complete car and my Son drove it to Atlanta from Nashville. It has been in boxes ever since.
I've got about that much into mine and it's even not a real six!
A 3.6 and Wevo 915 make the originality kinda moot anyway though!

That's why it was so expensive.
eastcoaster........I love that car, everytime I see a photo of it 
Eastcoaster..... I'm stunned!
I like the 914s in orginality condition,
But this is one of the most beautiful 914 I ever has seen!

all in favor of eastcoaster hijacking this thread with more pics of his car say AYE
Aye
The last full restoration/conversion project I did was out the door right at $40k, and the owner did more to it after that (seats, new PMO's, extra wheels & tires for track use, and other stuff) which brought it close to the $50k mark. He used the car for three years or so and sold it for $30k.
yep, again
one of the nicest custom 914's around

It's a "HOMO" steering wheel 
Glad that's all you've found so far to bust balls about!
Sure glad I didn't have any of the purple neon undercarriage lights on in the photos! (yes, I'm just kidding!)

Not many orginal ones made,Clean orginal drivers going for 20-25K,I can see them in a few years going for that kind of money. Glad I got mine a few years back. The six cyl. engine in the 914 is a blast to drive.They maybe are the modern day speedster.Only time will tell,Happy Holidays.....

There was a stock 914-6 that sold a couple of weeks ago here in my neck of the woods. Advertised at $12k. Missed it by a couple of hours.
Anyone here buy it?

It's an aftermarket console from a company called AMCO. They come up on ebay once in a while. The usually have gauges in them, I put my head unit in where the gauges usually go.
