Hagerty 914 valuations, 9/5/2019 Options

[raynekat]

Ready to get my project car insured, registered, finished up soon.
So got on the Hagerty website to check current valuations.
Thought everyone on 914 World would be interested in the following:

914-6

#1 concours $133,000
#2 excellent 82,000
#3 good 57,500
#4 fair 39,000

914-4

#1 concours $59,000
#2 excellent 32,000
#3 good 15,000
#4 fair 8,200

So that's definitely food for thought.
Mines a 914-6 conversion that is somewhere between #1 and #2 and somewhere between 914-6 and 914-4 (but closer to 914-6 w/o the six VIN).
Should be fun coming up with a "stated value" for my insurance coverage.

We have an excellent appraiser close by that is knowledgable about Porsches and especially modified Porsches, so I will likely drive down and drop the car off so he can come up with a reasonable valuation after I have come up with a "baseline" valuation.

Doug’s car - ranekat, is at least a 2 and more likely a 1 1/2.
I think it’s hard to judge hot rods. They may look nice but be a mess mechanically - Gold GT car shown a couple months ago is one example of a build gone wrong, even though asking price is six digits.

RE: the Gold GT: That's funny - I thought I was the only one thinking that! Details like leaving the -4 engine mounts in; using a GT front valance but not cutting out the panel to fit the cooler, amongst others.

On the plus side, the paint and mechanical work was very well executed, and the engine sounded phenomenal (I drove into Luft 6 directly behind it!).
