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

Have a BBQ and invite the clan for a build party. These cars need to be road worthy again before they are put on the market.

My uncle suggested the same thing yesterday while talking to him. He's an avid 914 owner himself. I have to talk it over with Gail but I would love to do exactly that and have these beautiful cars driving before going up for sale. The hardest thing is that I'm not too tied into the 914 world yet. It's hard to ask for help from people you barely know.

I think that your fellow PNW 914er in Kent just offered! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

This group on here in general has done that for several others that I've seen, it's just a matter of getting the time, space, parts & other logistics set up.

PS - I agree with the others - get all of the original -6 stuff back in it (or available to put back in, such as the 2.0-6 motor); & put the custom, aftermarket & non-OE stuff in the clone.

I'm just about to pick up the phone and talk stuff over with him. You guys are have really blown me away with your help. I can't say thank you enough to everyone.
