I have a brand new in the box 914 slant nose and I believe wide body panels. My dad bought it in the 90s and never used it. He passed and I don't know what to do with it. What are the value of these things?

Find a cheap 914 (perhaps one that was originally a 1.8 or 1.7L car) and slap the Rayco kit on it. Then put a Suby motor in it. Bet it would be a fun car.

So what's this worth? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Put that on a lift for inspection, but keep your eyes closed.

Not bright and not polite, but luckily none of us need to rely on your intelligence or kindness.

My apologies. It's been a bad day. I'm simply one of those idiots who believe in keeping a car stock to retain its value. Forgive me for offending you.

Apology accepted. There’s no truth as to whether a modified car is more valuable than a stock one. It’s pretty much why Baskin Robbins makes 31 flavors. So many factors. This car will outhandle and blow the doors off of any unmolested 914, even a 914-6. I’m after the driving experience, not money at sale or the approval of purists. I was just amazed that you seemed to know what her belly looked like and her level of rustiness.

So how is the workmanship with the modification? Is the car rust free? I ASSUMED, like an old asshole, that the "quality" of the car went backwards. I've seen so many modified cars over the years where the quality was severely compromised. Again, please accept my apologies. So what's under the hood (as they used to say)?

Done probably 30 years ago or more to what must have been a very solid teener when they were dirt cheap and unloved and when the Rayco kit was the rage. Dr. 914 , George Hussey, of Auto Atlanta says these were superbly made kits. It was very well done. It’s a JDM EJ20K STI making around 280 HP. 225 meats, reinforced unibody, handles better than the Lotus Europa I had or any of my previous 914s.

Very cool indeed. My neighbor has an AM DB9. The link to your website doesn't connect. FYI. An error on my end perhaps. Have a nice evening. And as Harrison Ford says in the latest Indiana Jones movie: "Thanks for putting up with me."
