The not a real six 1972 3.6 914 that sold for $170k is back on BAT
Will it get over $170k again? I doubt it.

Mine is similar to this one, but not professionally built and half the price.
However, I doubt there is a shop out there that that would build an equivalent car for under $200k

Already at $88,888 with 6 days left on the auction.
It will go well above 100k without a doubt.
I'd imagine the reserve is at least $150k.
Low mileage 993 engines are not cheap even if you can find them.
Will be interesting to see what actually happens this time around.

Doesn't make it worth 150, the rest of the build looks fairly middle of the road to me, so you are buying an engine.

I also feel a 3.6 is a little overkill in a 914.

Overkill is just enough IMHO…

There's no kill like over-kill.

Says nobody that owns a 3.6 914. I am surprised how streetable it is and how nice it drives until you jump on it.
