A big welcome to the BBS.
The BIG question is how is it for rust. That is what determines the price on ANY 914 car. Check out all the typical areas, under the battery, hell hole, under the rocker covers (take them off), trunks. Look for crappy repairs to the rust prone areas like bad welding, fiberglass, or bondo. This is where the money goes to repair a car. Engine work- a 911 motor is a 8 on a scale of 10 to rebuild so unless you have good skills figure on a mechanic spending 2-3k to finish the engine atleast. Or buy a good used 3.2 motor complete and install that! You'll be way ahead of the curve doing that. A conversion car that doens't have a running motor is a project car which usually is cheap as it cost money to finish. Hell thats why its not done and running. I wouldn't pay $6500 US for a non running 914/6 conversion when there are running ones out there for $8000 now and then that need some TLC. I nice conversion is worth maybe $10-12 K, so subtract all it will take to finish this car by a mechanic and yourself. That is what gives you a base price IMHO. Porsche parts are expensive even wholesale. Painting is another big cost with complete paint job running atleast $2500-5000. Geoff |
