The 914 race car arrived today, the 904 body is half built, but should be here soon. Very exciting!

Sorry to butt in, but.....

I also agree with Glenn. Authentic vintage race cars have potential dollar value and nostalgia value for the entire community. Your frankenstein car may come out to be very cool, but will have value only to you.

I have seen a lot of well built 914 track/race cars sell in the recent past with no provenance, why not start with one of those?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I would have, except all the guys with recent builds wanted $25,000-50,000, I picked this car up for $15,000. I also got a lot of guys with half built 914/6 conversions wanting over $20,000. This car represented the best value.

This car was not my first choice, I really wanted an older six conversion that needed cosmetics, but none could be found. I then started looking at race cars and like I said, anything built recently was 2-3 times the money.

If anyone wants to trade their six conversion for this car, I am all ears.
