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 |

A couple of cool cars, and it will be nice to see them back on the road!
Just my two cents, but a couple of quick ways to raise desirability and thus maximize value for the widow: -Swap Fuchs to the original 914-6 -Swap black bumpers to the original 914-6 -Consider swapping engine lids, or doing a GT-style engine lid on the real 914-6 -Get yellow part of floor covered up (while still being up front about color change) -Get rockers back on and get the cars outside for photos. Basically, I'd do whatever I could to make the real six as nice and as factory looking as I could without going past the low-hanging fruit (see above). The real money is in that car, and it seems like people looking for real 914-6s want either stock or factory-looking cars — while the 71 hot rod is open season, so bring on the BBSs, the 916 bumpers, etc. etc.! GLWS! Nice of you to do this for her! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Best, pete |
