Ok me again, the seller. Some more details about that 6KUS$ conversion :
- OEM oil tank - SS brake lines - 1984 911 Carrera front suspension - front and rear sway bar - Welmeister polybusings in front - 914 headers - Webers IDA 40 rebuilded - fresh 2.7 with receipts, case-saved, new valve-guides, new rings, bearings, etc. - new floorpan - longitidunals and battery area repaired - 944 Turbo Phone Dials 7 and 8 x 16s (surprinsingly they look great with flares!) Manuel didnt mention that the 2.7S 7R longblock is assembled, leaving cam towers and cam housings to be assembled, time the cams and valves. I still do think that 6K US$ fair. How much a fair 1974 2.0L 914 worths? A /6 conversion has to be driven before comparing with 1.7L or even nice 2.0L. One more note. The ex-owner of the amazing Kinesis 914 (that he sold for 35K US$) came to see the car. And mentionned that the body was good enough to start a new project with. That it wasnt rusted and has all of its integrity. I am more or less interested because he wants to buy the body alone, not the engine or /6 parts. So unless he lied to me.... - - - Best to all, even bleyseng.... |
