Original 1970 914/6 Value & a '71 914/6 Clone Options

[mtbr_mark]

Hi guys. I posted this in the classifieds section as well but was encouraged to post it in the garage too. I recently helped a friend finish a 1971 conversion where we put a 2.7 in. This car is complete with 5 lug axles, upgraded Bilstein suspension, the works. I'm looking for some advice though. My friend Chuck just passed away from esophageal cancer at the age of 61. As an avid auto enthusiast he had three Porsches to his name when he passed away; a 2010 Boxster, the 1971 914/6 clone that we built, and then his original 1970 914/6. His wife asked me if I would be willing to help her sell the two 914s so of course I said that I would. My question is this...can you guys give me a ballpark for what to be asking for each? I'll have to dig up some more details for everyone on the original 6 but I do know that he ended up pulling the 2.0 stock six that was in there and replaced it with a 3.0 as well as a very built transmission. So again, just looking for some direction on the value of these cars before we move on too far.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Mark,

Best to find someone who can actually set eyes on the cars. The Boxster is probably as simple as checking used values among like years and mileage.

The 914's are a little more difficult and varying factors include much of what Jeff states. A well done conversion can command a high price. A rusty six might go for a low price. Numbers matching helps and the values are going up as the rest of the Porschephiles are waking up to these fun little cars.

Where in OR are you? If you're along the corridor then it's possible some experts may drive by as they head to Rennsport Reunion mid-October.

Detailed pictures here would definitely help but, even then, I'd be willing to bet you'll get prices all over the map.

Main thing to do is "wait" for a real appraisal from someone who knows these cars.
